honeymoon registry on website

Can someone show me how they explained the honeymoon registriy information on their website?  What information did you include.  I am goign through a TA so I don't really have a website to add to the registry section so I had to add the information under the honeymoon section since I only have a phone number for them to call.

    Why certainly:

    We're greedy and needy and oh so indeedy
    having a honeymoon registry.  Put up your cash,
    credit cards and all your vacations stash,
    we need to have a getaway to do the deedy. 

    Don't worry about us, we won't take a cut
    that's all up to the company hosting us.
    So bring it all out, don't be caught out but
    give us a trip that's not on a bus!


    Does that work for you?

  • Amoro- perfect answer, but in a fun, upbeat way. I kind of imagined someone doing a little dance while I read that. Or one of those traveling salesmen from the early 1900s, complete with a wagon, a calliope and a monkey.

  • Honeymoon registries are extremely rude and just the same as putting "give us cash" on your invite.  Your guests dont have to give you anything.  If you cant afford a honeymoon, then dont take one.

    Ugh, why is this type of "registry" becoming the norm???  If I get one more "registry" for a honeymoon, photographer, florist, etc im gonna scream.

  • what is rude is not the honeymoon registry, but all of your responses.  she did NOT ask your opinions of them, but how to get a link or info on her site. 

    amoro, you are already married, give the rest of us a break, stop stalking these boards, and get a life.  you clearly have too much time on your hands.  if you do not agree with the honeymoon registry, then POLITELY say that, i have yet to read anything polite coming out of your mouth on one of these boards.

    some people value experiences more than material things.  for example: my folks only give my fiance and i "experiences" for our anniverseries rather than gifts--zip lining tours in the white mountains, a night at a B&B in Napa, cooking lessons.  We value them a lot more than we value china plates or an apple corker.

    To answer the original poster, i do not know how you would do this, but you might want to talk to your travel agent and see if he/she has any info for you.  i am sure they have dealt with this before.

    How do you know what I say on the boards unless you're stalking me and reading everything I post?  Creepy much?

    Actually, I lend valuable advice from a married perspective.  And I gave her what she wanted, didn't I?  She wanted a way to explain it, and I did.  What do you think would happen if there were only unmarried people around here?  A whole lot of validation of bad and tacky ideas, that's what.  Sometimes, you get so far into your wedding that you can't see for the wedding. Myself, and others who stay here after they are married, make a point to help people through this time using whatever advice we're able to give.  
  • I do not think your negative attitude has too much value. 
  • Excuse me but if you dont have anything valuable to post then please don't respond to my questions.  And for your information I am going through a TA and they are not taking a cut from the guests.  Mind your own damn business. 
  • Why should she should have to say it politely? The OP came on here wanting to know how to, basically, ask people to give them $ for a HM. And Amoro gave her a pretty straightforward answer to that question. In fact, if I ever get married again, I might just have to use cute rhyme. And here I am, paying for my own HM like a sucker.

    Once you post something on a board, you can't really tell people to keep out of your "business" - you put your business out there and people will respond as they choose. And you don't get to specify how people can respond to your questions, you can only take or leave their advice and opinions.

  • And thank you shauni27 for your comments that was great.  Yes, I think some people do have way too much time on their hands.  What is the freakin difference between asking someone for some new plates or helping with your honeymoon?  Why because that is the norm?  And for your information I already paid for my whole honeymoon and can afford it on my own.  I would rather guests help us on activities while we are there if they want rather than anything for my house since I have been on my own for sometime now.  Maybe you should also be thinking about why guests should help furnish your home.  Is that your guests job to buy you china.  Maybe you shouldn't be spending money on a wedding if you can't even spend money on a dish set.  And yes, there is a way to help people on this site but instead you are mocking them and making fun.  I have already made the decision of using a honeymoon registry and I am very happy with my decision.  I did not ask you if you thought i was a good idea.  Obviously you cannot give your input because you did not use this type of registry so please don't comment.

    Actually I <3 Amoro.

    Jamie, I did not use a honeymoon registry because I don't want to treat my guests like crap or ATMs, nor do I want them to think I'm tacky, rude, and lack all etiquette. How's that for advice?

    Honeymoon registries exist so people can MAKE MONEY. Not for your convenience or because they're totally cool, etiquette-wise. Kinda like how stores give you registry cards to "put in your invitations." They aren't to help YOU or because it is okay to mention gifts without solicitation.

    [QUOTE]I understand why people would think it's rude. But honestly we all know that people who love us want to have a hand in the wedding. <strong> I mean how happy would out of town relatives or close relatives be to know that they were able to send you on your honeymoon?  </strong>I guess it depends on what type of people you know.

    Actually, my family and friends would've found a HM registry awful.  My friends and family still believe that it is rude to ask for cash and are smart enough to know that is basically what a HM registry is-a cash registry.

    My family/friends are big money givers for weddings, so the issue isn't giving cash.  It is ASKING for it that is considered rude.

  • what bothers me about this whole conversation is not that people have different opinions about honeymoon registries, but it is the rude attitude, such as saying "Oh my lord, you are not smart."  You can disagree with someones opinion without putting them down.  saying you are not smart is not valuable advice, neither is saying "I don't want to treat my guests like crap or ATMs, nor do I want them to think I'm tacky, rude, and lack all etiquette"  that is just an opinion, which you are completely entitled to have.  just do not be rude.

    It's a matter of perspective on the rudeness.  I assume that someone who thinks a honeymoon registry is a good idea is already rude, therefore, would only respond in kind. 
  • A honeymoon registry in these times is a good idea for a lot of people. Many people are on their second marriages, me included. I am a young widow and have a house furnished with everything I need. My fiance  also has a house full of stuff.  We need to do a garage sale so we can get rid of the double things. So no point in a registry getting more plates, glasses, toasters etc.
    Also a lot of people have lost their jobs or had their hours cut of late and help toward a honeymoon is a Godsend. It's something you don't want to put off for a couple of years untill you can afford it, but you can put off with the material things, like new china or whatever. Most people these days don't come staight from their parent's house, straight to a new house just starting offf with nothing.
    It is a personal choice, and if you have a close and open relationship with your family and friends, they will be happy to help you with your dream honeymoon, instead of some candle sticks you never used and forgot you had, as they were put in a box in the basement.
    I also see on this board, people saying it is rude to ask for help with the honeymoon, but they are the same people just been plain rude.
    Be nice. This is suposed to be one of the happiest times in ones life.

    If you are on your second marriage I would reconsider registering again, unless you are planning on returning all of the gifts people got you for your first wedding.  If people want to give you a gift, then they will, but registering for gifts <em>again </em>is a little tacky.

    If you value "experiences more than material things then here is an idea:  DONT REGISTER FOR ANYTHING.  Let the "experience" of your guests being there be your "gift".  Just because you dont want a blender or a coffee maker does not make it ok to ask people to pay for you to swim with the dolphins

    That is a silly reason to ask for cash.  If you have stuff for your house already then dont have a shower.  You dont need one.  Asking people to give you cash at your shower and then at your wedding is greedy.

    Its not your guests job to pay for your honeymoon, or your "happy memories". 

    Asking for cash is never ok.  That is what is wrong with it.

    You right to say giving a gift at your wedding is not required.  It is not required that they give you a shower gift either.

  • Never did I say anything about The Honeyfund for my shower!  I did register for a "traditional" registry for my showers.  You should read more carefully before you hide behind your computer and type your response!!   It's cool though.  Thanks for your input.  A Honeyfund registry is a GREAT thing to do!!

  • Big thumbs up to shauni27. Most of these responses are just plain outright rude and it is ridiculous. We are all on this board because we are getting married and this is the happiest times in our lives but alot of you are just plain rude. Haven't you ever heard if you don't have something nice to say don't say anything??
    She didn't ask for your opinion, she asked for information..there is a HUGE difference between the two.
    For all of you on your high horses about honeymoon registeries being tacky, you need to take a step back. Asking for gifts is the exact same thing as having a honeymoon registry. Either way you are asking people to spend their money on you. Guest are grown up people and if they find it to be rude in any way then they won't use it.
    And jamiesirois in response to your question, try Honeyfund. Hope you find a great one to use and have an awesome wedding!!

    Actually, If you read the responses, none of us are <em><strong>asking</strong></em> for gifts.  Asking makes it rude.  You dont ASK for anything, or expect anything.  That is what makes the whole thing tacky

    And its nice to see that you are ok with offending your guests.  They just dont have to use it right?  Makes sense.  Forget the fact that you offended them.  Just be prepared that the guests who find it rude and dont use it, will probably also not show up to your shower or wedding because they think you are GREEDY and TACKY.  And the people who dont say anything will just say it behind your back.

    Asking for money, in any form is rude.  Asking for <em>anything</em> is rude. 

    The girls are trying to tell you that. If you dont want to listen then dont.  This is a public forum and people can say what they want.  Just because it does not validate your tacky idea, does not mean they are wrong.

    If you cant afford a honeymoon, thats your problem, not your guests.  So maybe <em>you</em> need to take the step back.

  • And who said I can't afford a honeymoon?  Maybe you should ask yourself the same question, should I be buying a house if I can't afford things for it.  Thank you to those who actually answered my questions.  I did a honeymoon registry and I am very happy with it.  I did it through my TA.

    [QUOTE]what bothers me about this whole conversation is not that people have different opinions about honeymoon registries, but it is the rude attitude, such as saying "Oh my lord, you are not smart."  You can disagree with someones opinion without putting them down.  saying you are not smart is not valuable advice, neither is saying "I don't want to treat my guests like crap or ATMs, nor do I want them to think I'm tacky, rude, and lack all etiquette"  that is just an opinion, which you are completely entitled to have.  just do not be rude.

    Agreed. This whole conversation is hilarious. People getting up in arms about a honeymoon registry? There's more important things in life to be so strongly opinionated about.

    OP- /> I think that the best way to approach this, because only having a phone number doesn't show much, is to have your immediate family and bridesmaids have the info to give out in case people ask. Knowing parents, they spread the word about everything anyway. :)

    <strong><u>And who said I can't afford a honeymoon?</u> </strong>By registering for a honeymoon, you are telling people that you cannot afford it and expect them to pay for it.

    <strong><u>Maybe you should ask yourself the same question  </u></strong>I actually own my own home and *gasp* am paying for my own honeymoon!  The horror!!

    <strong><u>I did a honeymoon registry and I am very happy with it.  </u></strong>Good for you!  As long as you are happy pissing off your guests.  I would not be suprised if you registered for gift cards and tv's as well.

    People are just pointing out the obvious. If you are ok with being rude, greedy, and gift grabby, then by all means.......Maybe you can even put a cover charge booth at the door to your ceremony!  That could easily get you a few grand extra!
