Honeymoon Registry

We're thinking about doing this. Has any one else used one before?

People have used them before, but they're tacky. Asking for money is bad.

I'm not a fan, because like PP said, asking for money from your guests is never nice!

Just to warn you... lurk on the boards first before asking a question about honeymoon registries, many girls on here despise these types of registries and will flame you for even considering one!

Also not a fan.
They rip you off, disguing what you are really asking for: cash.
I think they are in horrible taste, and not only would I never use one myself, but if someone I knew set one up, I would refuse to buy from it.

Our travel agent said he could make up cards to be sent out with my shower invites. Not a fan. If we get money for the shower or the wedding it will go towards hm or other wedding expenses. I would not ask for money for your HM, it seems rude to me to ask people to pay for your vacation.

Honeyfund.com is the best online HM Registry if you choose to do it. They dont charge you or your guests a fee to do it.

I know alot of people are not fans of the honeymoon registry but we had some of our close family friends contribute to our honeymoon and it was a huge help. They called direct to our agentg and it worked out great and no charge either.

i agree with everyone on here..sooo tacky. i would much rather pay for a blender or coffeemaker than pay for you to swim with dolphins.

ANOTHER honeymoon registry question??

HM registries are very deceitful to your guests. Asking for cash is not polite no matter how you spin it. Many guests will probably give you cash gifts without you asking them to, so just use that money to put toward your HM and plan something you know you can afford.

tacky is just an opinion. you have to do what's right for you. checkout http://www.depositagift.com it's an awesome, classy site that let's you register for your honeymoon or anything else that you want. we're using it and our guests love it. what's not to like about contributing towards time together, experiences you'll remember forever and/or dreams you want to fulfill (like owning a new home). dishes and towels are great, don't get me wrong, but this is just another kind of registry to consider that makes a lot of sense for many of us when useless physical items don't (we don't want to force ourselves to register just to register and then return it all...such a waste in more ways than one!). we're using deposit a gift and one traditional department store registry. it doesn't have to be all or nothing. the main thing is that guests have choices and that it's not difficult for them, and of course just being gracious.

</div><div>Why is this? because you would be jealous of them to have an amazing honeymoon? so youd rather spend your money on a impersonal gift like towels or a toaster? Why would you not want to give them a gift them will remember forever?</div>

abbiewebster · June 2010

i say this all the time and never get an answer....but really...how is it deceitful?????? really....your guests know where the money is going no one is lying about it, i would personally not feel decieved giving someone a donation for their honeymoon...llike pp said id prefer that to giving a very impersonal blender or toaster.
