Need more stuff?  Probably not! If you’re like many engaged couples, then you’ve already got all the pots and pans you could ever need.  So when it comes to your registry, why not consider a honeymoon gift list to receive the gift of experiences instead of more stuff? Modern-minded couples are flocking to alternative wedding registries as a practical and fun solution when they don’t have a need for traditional wedding gifts.
What is a Honeymoon Registry?
A honeymoon registry is a gift list, exactly as you would see at a department store, but instead of a list of pots, pans, linens and towels, it’s a list of:
- Nights in the honeymoon suite
- Breakfast in bed
- Excursions
- Wine at sunset
- A new camera to capture it all!
How Does It Work?
Make it a fun experience for guests to shop from your honeymoon registry. Similar to a traditional gift list, they’ll want the option to contribute to a specific part of your romantic escapade, so tell your guests a bit about where you’d like to go and break up the trip into parts as suggested above.
Destination unknown? Not to worry, you don’t have to share all the specific details. In fact it’s okay to say that you haven’t made up your mind yet, but instead say that you’re hoping to go somewhere Tropical, like a resort, or Rustic, like the mountains, and then create a list of general gift items and activities that would suit any location…Anywhere you go, you’ll still need transportation, lodging, meals and of course a little pampering! In the end you’ll have the flexibility to spend where, when and how you want.
Benefits of a Honeymoon Registry
- Handpick the Activities You Want Most: This is an opportunity to share the activities you would enjoy most, which is a fun way for your guests to get to know you better.
- Make Your Guests Feel Special: Your friends and family will feel best giving you a gift that they know you’ll use and cherish. Don’t forget to send photos as the perfect complement to your thank you notes.
- Memories Last Forever: The gift of a memorable honeymoon experience with the love of your life will last a lot longer than a blender or linens.
Don’t feel limited by the typical registry – have fun with your registry and your honeymoon!
