Funding Honeymoon

I did mine for zola!

just be mindful that there is a fee for every transaction.

View Quoted Comment Okay, I’m finding just about everyone has a fee...just have to find one I’m okay with. Thank you!

I think zola has the smallest fee at 2.5%

View Quoted Comment That’s actually the same for stripe

I plan to create a hunnyfund which is similar.

View Quoted Comment Awesome....I’m hoping no one gets offended that we are requesting cash instead of gifts

This is a very divisive topic, and many people, especially those in older generations, find them tacky. I personally think they're pointless. They all charge a fee for the pleasure of being an unnecessary middle man. At least in my area, 99% of people give the couple cash or a check in a card as a wedding gift, even if they have a registry. We had a wedding registry, and only 1 person out of our guest list brought a physical gift. Every other person gave us cash or a check (and 2 people actually Venmoed us lol). I've never brought a physical gift to a wedding, always opting to put a check inside a card. The registries are usually used for the shower. If you want cash, I would just skip the registry altogether or create a small one of physical gifts. People will get the hint and there won't be any fees.

We used Zola as well, and we did a cash fund, I couldn’t think of anything that we needed since two years ago we purchased a home, I also added blinds to the registry as well.


Hope this helps, good luck!

View Quoted Comment Awesome. We are both military and won’t be buying a house for another five years and that’s when we will do a registry for a house warming

View Quoted Comment Yes, so I was told also if you don’t register anywhere people will catch the hint and bring cash to the wedding.

View Quoted Comment Ooohhhh, that’s nice, too. More spending money on the honeymoon for us, lol

View Quoted Comment Yes! That’s a win!

We used the Knot's website and fund. I don't think there was much of a fee, if any. It might have been a small one on the guest's ends...

It worked very well for us, because we could transfer any time, as opposed to being limited to a few times.

View Quoted Comment That’s exactly who we are using as well!!

We are using The Knot's cash fund registry. I've heard that people don't really mind paying for the fees, only *if* they were going to gift us a physical gift to start with, since a gift would have taxes and it would be the same thing.
And I think with covid, with a lot of the guests not being able to make it to the wedding to give us a card or cash gift in real life, they liked that they could send us a little something.

View Quoted Comment You know what Jenny, you are absolutely right!!! The small fee that they will pay is the same or maybe even less they would pay with taxes. Honestly, I would gladly give someone cash because it takes the stress of looking for a gift away.

Honeyfund has a tiny fee too. It was really easy. We did that and a small registry at two retail shops for anyone uncomfortable giving money.
