what do all you ladies think of honeymoon registries? I dont know why but someone mentioned them to me and I dont know i thought it felt tacky. maybe its just me...
I don't know anyone who's done one, but i think i'm with you on the tacky end of the spectrum. I don't know, i think people giving you money that you use toward your HM is fine, i just think it seems slightly awkward to be like, hey, wanna help pay for my HM? Unless maybe they're giving you like, a basket of goodies you can use on your honeymoon...that could be cute
ok glad its not just me
I was thinking of doing this more so for my parents and siblings, to add money to our honeymoon for my b day gift and x-mas. I know when i mentioned to my mom she thought this was a good idea. We both still live at home so we will need the gifts for our home some day. My parents don't have the means to help us with the wedding so indirectly this is a way for them to do so in a practicle way over time.
I was thinking I may have to do it as well. If I don't I may not be going anywhere!
I'm with you, I am doing a honeymoon registry as well. My FH and I already live together and definitely don't need china, glasses, dishes, pots, pans, etc - w've been together for 7 yrs already so those bases were covered yrs ago. Our guests are going to be spending money anyway whether it be buying you a romantic dinner for 2 in Mexico or a set of pots & pans so if you really want to do the honeymoon registry I say go for it! Why not!
I am doing a HM registry. After paying for a whole wedding I don't think I will be able to afford a HM so it would really help us out. Plus we already live together and don't need alot of stuff.

Well the registry is set up in different sections such as rooms, dinner, massages and all different things just so people feel they are putting money towards certain things but the travel agent just gives you the cash ( whenever you ask for it so it can be before the wedding) and then you put the money towards what you need it for.

i never heard of this. Is this done in place of a regular 'home' registry?? Because if not, then i think it would be asking for too much. You know - having the shower gift, the wedding gift, AND a honeymoon gift (plus the engagement gift, if ya did an e-party also). That all just seems like asking for too much. JMO. But if it's in place of home necessities, like utensils and whatever because you dont even need those, then I think it would be okay. But as for being 'tacky' i'm not sure. Like i said, I've never even heard of this. lol.
We are having a HM registry and a regular registry. I dont think it is tacky, we are spending much more than we intended to on the wedding and our registry for our home isnt that large at all. I think it gives people the option instead of getting a giftcard if the registry gets completed, they can put it towards a romantic dinner, a day trip, room upgrade, anything that they want. I think its a cute idea.
