Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Step1

Begin by deciding what type of honeymoon you would like to take. Be as specific as possible.

Step2

Investigate the different companies offering honeymoon registries. Pay attention to fees; some companies charge as much as fifteen percent of your registry total.

Step3

Select a honeymoon registry company that suits your needs best. They will help you set up an actual registry for your guests to use.

Step4

Let guests know that you are registered for your honeymoon. It might be useful to let them know how much you are looking forward to your honeymoon trip.

Step5

Plan to pay the balance of your trip fees yourself. Not everyone will use the honeymoon registry. Some guests will just "have" to get you that fondue set they think you will fall in love with.

Step6

Remember to thank your guests at your wedding for making your honeymoon dreams come true. Share with your guests how excited the two of you are to be making this special trip.

Step7

Create a special honeymoon thank you to give each guest. It could be a postcard from your Just something to say thank you.

Tips & Warnings

Honeymoon registries are a new concept; you may need to explain, especially to older guests, just how it all works.
Be sure to register for a variety of events and activities for your honeymoon. This will give people options as to how they can contribute.
Your bridesmaids can create a bridal shower with a theme that involves your honeymoon. If your honeymoon is in Hawaii for example, they could throw you a Hawaiian luau bridal shower that guests would enjoy.
