Frequently Asked Questions

Gifts are as much a part of wedding tradition as flowers and cake. However, in departing from tradition, the honeymoon registry uses "gifts" in the form of money toward your honeymoon. A honeymoon registry is a creative, itemized list of activities you would like to enjoy on your honeymoon.

How does a honeymoon registry work?

A honeymoon registry works like most gift registries except that instead of individually choosing dishes, toasters, and other household items, you are choosing pieces of a honeymoon. Within the honeymoon are many components and activities that can represent individual gift items. These things are itemized, just as in a traditional gift registry. You enter the information and when you are finished, voila! There will be traditionalists that simply would prefer giving you something that they can see, touch, and feel themselves. For others, they will appreciate the alternative, progressive nature of a honeymoon registry because it is the type of registry they would choose if they were getting married now. Tip: Have fun with it and give it some of your own personality.

How do we, the couple, collect our gifts?

You will be sent you a check five business days prior to your honeymoon. Any funds that come in after that will accumulate in your FDIC insured account, which will stay open for an additional thirty days or until you contact us to close the registry. At that time, a final check to reconcile the account will be made to you.

How am I notified when a purchase is made?

Two emails are sent out, one to you the couple and one to the guest purchaser. The email to the couple includes the names of the gift giver(s), an itemization of the gift(s), and a gift message. The purchaser also receives an email confirmation of the purchase which is identical to the couple's notification, except it also contains credit card confirmation and transaction numbers.

Should we still do a gift registry?

This is a judgment call you will have to make. Your wedding guests appreciate that you are trying to make their gift giving more convenient and personal. However, some may appreciate that you have given them alternatives that allow them to choose a gift that is meaningful to them as well.

Is there a cost to this service?

The only cost to you is the time you put into creating your registry and wedding web page. But that's something that you'll have fun doing. It's your registry; feel free to personalize it as much or as little as you want!  For gift purchasers a small service/gift delivery fee is charged on each gift purchase that usually amounts to no more than sales taxes and less if you include shipping and gift wrapping.  For example, a $50 item would be $54.43 upon checkout.
