Honeymoon Registry and the Question of Money

Unlike a Bridal Registry where wedding gifts are not a real issue with planning the day which is known as the Wedding Day, the Honeymoon Registry is designed to pay for your Honeymoon, so the Honeymoon gifts matter quite a lot.

Can you rely on the Honeymoon Registry to give you the Honeymoon of your dreams? Only if your dream Honeymoon is within the bounds of your own financial resources. The cold facts are that even with Bridal Registries not all guests choose to use them. And as to the Honeymoon Registry, it will take a while yet before it becomes wholly acceptable. So the hard reality is that you plan your Honeymoon with the hope that your Honeymoon Registry will recoup some of the costs of your Honeymoon. But you don’t plan an extravagant Honeymoon beyond your financial ability to pay without the Honeymoon Registry.

That doesn’t mean that you can’t take some initiatives. Couples have been known to register as early as three months before the wedding day to see whether the idea catches on. And there are those Registries that will keep the Registry open for several months after the Honeymoon in case the guests get inspired with time.

While searching for your ideal Honeymoon Registry, it is also possibly to find some who make the financial transactions more quickly than others. Some Registries plan to give you a cheque once or twice during the life of your Registry. This might be a week before your wedding day, and perhaps a week or couple of weeks after the wedding day to accommodate the slow starters.

Other Registries are much more flexible. Aware how essential the money is to the couple planning their Honeymoon, these Registries will allow you to draw the money as it is collected by the Registry, and as often as often as you choose to do so.

While each guest will nominate what gift they are paying for, and each couple will be made aware of this either through the Registry, or by logging into their own account, if you choose to use the money in a totally different way, you can. No one will ever know.
