Hello all,
I am a groom-to be; my fiance told me about this website and an older thread dealing with Honeymoon Registries. The OP in that thread wasn't hugely tactful but was immediately flamed by her fellow wedding enthusiasts for even thinking of creating a Honeymoon Registry. We are planning on creating one and I would like to know why this seems to be generally considered a bad idea. Sorry for resurrecting a topic from a year ago but it is something I would love to hear your thoughts on
Initially I wanted no gifts at the wedding at all. I am not a material person and I consider making a registry akin to a child making a Christmas list for Santa. I was told however that a no gift wedding is "unheard of". Our apartment is already crammed full of appliances we don't use and our dishes are piled high. We rarely entertain guests. Really the only thing I can think of that a relative could give us would be some kind of honeymoon memory.
Our honeymoon is in Japan. Neither of us has been and we are super excited. Our plan is to include various tours, restaurants and activities that people can contribute financially to us enjoying. We could even take pictures of us enjoying these things and include them in our thank you cards. It is much more personal than buying a blender (We have 2 blenders already />.<).
Anywho, curious to know your thoughts. Unlike the OP from the thread that inspired this one I don't impose any restrictions. Feel free to make any comment you want
