Honeymoon Registry is better than 3 toasters!

Your Honeymoon does not have to break your bank account. You can actually upgrade your Honeymoon by registering for Honeymoon fun, travel and extra cash.
For younger couples, a registry for china and appliances to set up house is appropriate. But with so many people marrying later than their twenties, and possibly not for the first time, gifts of blenders are not needed. Instead the trend is to register for your honeymoon. Couple massages, scuba dives, lift tickets, gift shop credit and even spending money can be given as gifts if you register for your honeymoon instead! Here is how...

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

internet connection
honeymoon destination

Step 1

Relax - this honeymoon is paid for completely!

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! Sometimes we have enough to marry and not much left for our honeymoon. And my rule of thumb with traveling is to expect to pay twice as much as you would think (therefore you have the extra money to do more when you are there and may even come home with some too.) Nobody wants to be on a budget during one of the most important trips of their lives. Here is how to register for romantic honeymoon gifts instead of more electric appliances.
Step 2

Register for Honeymoon Gifts

A wonderful website to help you plan your trip and register for honeymoon extras is: www.ChicTravelDeals.com. Log on and start by signing into the deals and steals newsletter - you can use that later. Then find the Extras tab and click on it. Look for a block that reads Honeymoon Registry and click on that next.
Step 3

Perfect Wedding and Dream Honeymoon!

Here is where you can search for a couple's online registry, look at sample registries or create your own. Click on the "Start Here - Create a Honeymoon or Wedding registry website"
On your honeymoon bridal registry list choose anything you want to do on your honeymoon ... even fund portions of your trip. It works the same as a gift registry. Your guests give you portions of your dream honeymoon. The perfect, unforgettable gift. And there is..

No set up fee.
Free wedding website and blog.
Hundreds of ideas covering areas
all over the world - or you can
create your own honeymoon bridal registry.
Photos for all items with descriptions.
You can make your own travel plans.
No tacky advertising.
Announcements & shower games.
You can receive your gifts anytime.
Post unlimited photos on your online photo album
Step 4

Go horseback riding courtesy of your co-workers!

Fill in your information, choose a password, choose a destination and register for airfare, honeymoon suite, strawberries and champagne, rental cars, wine tasting, castle tours, snorkeling, and much more - even extra cash for your trip!
Step 5

Wedding guests love to know what you REALLY want!

Build your Wedding Website, post a special message on the top of your registry or upload your online photo album - the perfect way to let everyone know about your registry!
Then download announcement cards or email your link to your friends and family to share your registry, website or photo album.
Step 6

Before you know it you will be in paradise!

Start receiving your gifts! Choose to have the monies transferred directly to your bank account or receive a check. You can request payment at any time, read your gift cards or edit your account right online.

on 8/2/2009 I would also recommend visiting www.itsmygiftregistry.com - there you will be able to add items from any store, anywhere. Not only will it save you time, it will also give you options to add anything from a much needed spa package to allow others to contribute to your honeymoon by giving you a cash gift.
