Honeymoon Wedding Registry

Honeymoon wedding registries are similar to regular wedding registries. However, instead of receiving traditional wedding gifts like housewares, linens, and home items, a honeymoon wedding registry gives the bride and groom all or part of their honeymoon.

One of the most often asked questions about a honeymoon wedding registry is whether or not it is considered within the boundaries of wedding etiquette. Most wedding experts agree that because the honeymoon is a gift that will create wonderful memories for the newlywed couple, honeymoon wedding registries are a nice alternative to traditional wedding registries.

Additionally, honeymoon wedding registries are an excellent option for couples who are already established in their home, or who lived together prior to getting married.

Step 1

Honeymoon Wedding Registries

CHOOSE A HONEYMOON WEDDING REGISTRY: Because of the popularity of the honeymoon wedding registry, there are several options for brides and grooms to choose from. Most honeymoon wedding registries will take a cut, or "fee," from the registry fund. While there are one or two honeymoon registries that are "free," they often require guests to register for an account or for additional services. This alone can make a honeymoon wedding registry inconvenient for your guests.

Look for a honeymoon wedding registry that has a long, reputable history, such as Traveler's Joy (see resources below). Traveler's Joy is a partner of other reputable wedding services, like The Wedding Channel. Traveler's Joy also charges a small flat percentage, rather than the large setup fees, transaction fees, and commissions that some honeymoon wedding registries can charge.
