Hell on buzzfeed. Hell no.

Eww..

Ugh

I saw that this morning!!!! I was like, " oh buzzfeed no...."

Asking for handouts isn't as taboo as it used to be because so many lazy entitled idiots think it's perfectly acceptable. And since they are the main audience of online sources like buzzfeed, they will be targeted with tacky, awful ideas. It feels like no one pays their own way anymore or cleans up their own messy lives.

The other ideas are great! It's just these honeyfund things that make it suspect.

This is why I elected to use the mint app/desktop for my savings so that I can save money for our honeymoon instead of relying on others

I wonder if this is becoming more of the norm...As I was looking at resorts to book for our honeymoon, I clicked on he tab that said plan your dream honeymoon. I thought it would give special amenities for honeymooners, umm wrong it was a registry through the resort.

We did not create a registry and will not be staying at that resort.

I hope not

I've seen sooooo many articles promoting tacky ideas such as honeyfunds, self-catering, cash bars, etc. No wonder people think it's okay now.

I've known a couple people my age who are using honeyfunds for their registries, and I think it's a brilliant idea. My FH and I have enough sh** from over the years, and we value experiences over possessions. Yes, it may be a millennial thing, which I am, but I just finished grad school and would rather people help us pay for a fun experience in another country. My mom wasn't keen on the idea at first, but I explained how it works - people provide payments for tours, sightseeing, and museums, and it doesn't look like one big pot of money, and she grew to like the idea.

Even Emily Post says it's acceptable now. I'm not found of them but they are definitely becoming mainstream.

Sydney no. There's a reason it's tacky. Registries are meant to furnish your home not fund your wanderlust.

I had one FB friend post her honey fund site on her FB page, even though she made a big deal out of having a family only wedding. Several people have mentioned how tacky it was to be hit up for a gift when we weren't even invited to the wedding.

It's totally tacky and rude

Probably as millennials prefer to rely on others for money than themselves nowadays for things like trips. I knew kids when I was in college who would work 3 hours a week but afford to go to Aruba and Bali for their spring breaks

My aunt keeps trying to tell me this is a good idea. I keep telling her no. There are things FH and I need and or want, so we will have a registry. If we get nothing off of it.. fine we will buy it ourselves. However, we are not asking for money for a honeymoon. We are putting off the honeymoon til spring break 2018 when we have more money. I really hope this doesn't become mainstreamed, because I think they are HORRID!!

Please don't lump all millennials together. I'm a millenial (I turn 26 in September), and I've never depended on anyone for a damn thing after 18. It's not really fair to generalize...

ETA: This is not to say I support honeyfunds, because they are super tacky.

It's as tacky and rude as go fund me's for bigger weddings. It signals a generational shift as clearly as asking for money from strangers for the party 'you deserve' or Jack and Jills with raffles. There seems to be a common feeling that everyone 'deserves' everything, whether they truly do or not. It's not about 'deserving', it's about affording to provide for yourself, just like the rest of life. From there it's a hop skip and a jump to asking for money to pay off student loans, mortgages, credit card debt and car loans. Adults know how to do this and do; they don't ask guests to float their life.

But if you don't think the avalanche of publicity about this is coincidental, think again. Wedding sites, blogs; they depend on advertising dollars and guess who is dumping them?

Honeyfund.

I cringe when I see these posts and wedding websites with honeyfund information, and obviously I'm not alone. That notion that 'we've been together for years and we have everything we need' is ridiculous. We've been together for years too, and half our stuff is beat to shit. I could walk through every room and find 10 things to replace.

Of course people who want to do that look for justification for it; it's no more mysterious than people who want to do cash bars taking heart in the two people here who agree with them when another 50 tell them it's tacky and rude.

One of our wedding party friends suggested it yesterday again about the honeyfund. We politely said "oh yeah you told us about it" and just sort of ended it there.

They also mentioned a jack and jill but we sort of just acknowledged it and moved on.

This was during the period when we were doing wedding talk when we had a get-to-to-know-you get together.

Why is everyone on here so bitter? I'm 28 and a "millennial". I've been working since I was 15 and my fiance and I both have great jobs. To say that every millennial feels entitled to handouts is just plain stupid.

The two of us rented a condo and then bought a very nice house. We were able to furnish it and buy all of the plates, sheets, wine glasses, and all the other crap that people usually put on wedding registries on our own. Although we aren't doing the honeymoon fund, why is it such a big deal that others are? Most wedding guests bring an envelope with at least $150 to the weddings anyways, why does it matter if they just direct deposit it into the couples' fund instead? Money is money.
