Every newly married couple looks forward to the relaxing, romantic honeymoon after months of hectic wedding planning. Luckily, with the growing popularity of honeymoon registries, instead of wedding gifts, guests can purchase experiences, meals and luxury treatments for the couple to redeem on their honeymoon. Walt Disney's Honeymoon Registry offers a wide range of experiences and items for those that have booked a vacation at their resorts. Couples can easily register for the experiences they would like their guests to purchase to make their honeymoon unforgettable.
If you and your soon-to-be spouse would love a honeymoon, but it's not in the budget, you should consider setting up a honeymoon registry. Although many wedding guests will give cash for a gift, if you set up a registry specifically for your trip, it might prompt well wishers to give generously. It is important to select the correct kind of registry and to word the invitation correctly so that you do not appear appear greedy or rude.
Honeymoon registries provide an alternative for established couples who already have household wares typically included in traditional wedding registries or couples who simply desire a different type of wedding gift. According to Peter Post, the president of etiquette think tank The Emily Post Institute, "A honeymoon is a perfectly appropriate gift to request. There's no objection to it from an etiquette point of view." Whether you want to take a short weekend trip or an extended stay overseas, make a honeymoon registry to take the wedding trip of a lifetime.
Honeymoon registries are gaining popularity, especially among older brides and grooms who already have all the housewares associated with traditional wedding registries. Whether you want to take a canopy tour of the Costa Rican rain forest or scuba dive in shark filled waters, you can create a honeymoon registry to make your vacation dreams come true.
If you are starting your married life with plenty of dishes and cookware, another fun option is to register for your honeymoon trip. Guests give the bride and groom different parts of their honeymoon trip, from drinks at a special club to airfare. This is a great option for the couple that "has everything" but each other!
