BUMPED FOR dna143 Honeymoon registry

BUMPED for dna143!!! (explanation of how a honeymoon registry works a couple of replies down)

Is it user friendly?

Are the 'items' I registered for reasonable?

Do I have enough of a mix of prices?

What price range do you think I should have the most of, especially for my shower gifts?

What would you pick to buy?

Our honeymoon registry

UPDATE: I made some changes to our registry... added some funny ones... included more price ranges... deleted unnecessary ones. Thanks for your help, ladies! Now I think it's perfect! I'm just waiting for the website moderators to change some of the pictures for me. Thanks, again for all your input! YOU RULE!

no... we have Macy's, Fortunoff's and Crate and Barrel, but not too much stuff on each one since we already own a lot of appliances and bedding and stuff.

No... basically we get the $$, either directly deposited in our bank account, which we link to the registry - or sent to us by check.

The 'titles' on the monetary amounts are just so that the guests feel that they are giving something specific to the couple. They'll give us a card saying something like 'This entitles you to one couple's massage'... so we know the massage is compliments of that guest, and we can thank them specifically for that. But, in reality, we would have done it anyway... they're just chipping away at what we already paid toward the honeymoon. It's kind of like a 'reimbursement' for our honeymoon. It's confusing... it took me forever to figure out, too. Let me know if you have any questions about it.

Re: Please tell me what you think of my honeymoon registry

ohhhhhhhhh I get it.

I'm very practical so i guess I'd go for the airfare, haha.

Maybe add some more low cost $50 range items.

Re: Please tell me what you think of my honeymoon registry

It seems pretty user friendly and you picked some good things. I would probably pick something like the airfare or contributing to the room.

Re: Please tell me what you think of my honeymoon registry

Sarah - I love this! It looks great. I have a couple of questions...

-so did you create all those options or did the site allow you to choose from a list?
-is there a fee or anything for guests to do this? Like if a guest wants to give you $100 towards something, does a % of that go to the site?
-is there a fee for you to create the registry?

Thanks for your help!

I chose from a list AND created a few myself. The website manager also put a couple in for me (including some of the Disney pics) that weren't standard.

I chose for the 4% service charge to be taken away from the cost, instead of added on top of it. So, if an item is 80 bucks, $3.20 would go to the site. It's normally 7%, but since I started the registry through my travel agent, In and Out Travel, the service charge is only 4%. (In and Out actually waves the 3% charge/commission they would normally get since we booked our honeymoon through them).

No fee to create the registry. And my travel agent is sending me registry cards for my mom and bridal party to include in my shower invitations. Plus, they're spreading the word that we would love our guests to work off this registry, rather than the store ones.

Let me know if you have any more questions about it. It's through honeymoonwishes.com, and the people that run the site are VERY nice, accomodating and helpful.

Re: Please tell me what you think of my honeymoon registry

This is what I am doing also and it has been great so far! JMHO, I would add a few more $40- $50 range just to give guests more options. It looks good so far!

Oh I love it!!! I wish I was going to Disney for HM, but no can't convince FH. I would get either the dinner w/ cinderella . Or the carriage.

Re: Please tell me what you think of my honeymoon registry

i never saw a honeymoon registry! I've heard of it but not seen one. I think it is really cool. Question: Do you also have a regular store that you register in or is this it?

Re: Please tell me what you think of my honeymoon registry

i think it looks great! you could add a few more inexpensive items, but only if you want them.

there are so many fun things on there it would be hard to decide but i might pick the luau.

Re: Please tell me what you think of my honeymoon registry

I think you have a good mix of things...I honestly would purchase the massage or the dolphin swim. My DH & I did the dolphin swim on our HM in Tortola & it was the best experience!
