Hell on buzzfeed. Hell no.

I'm about to give up on this one....................... the idea is just getting so much support from so many industry segments, I think Jennifer is right, it's going to become okay in the next decade. I'm lucky, I'm so old, they will think I don't know any better when I continue to give a normal gift.

@Bea I totally wrote down your poem and when one of my coworkers suggested that I set up a Honeyfund I told her about a little poem I read......she didn't find it as funny as I did though.

I've actually had multiple guests tell me I SHOULD set up a honeymoon fund. They've said things like "I would rather pay for you to go snorkling than buy you a spatula."

To those saying it's tacky: Is it less tacky if the resort has it set up so that people can gift you specific excursions?

I don't really have strong feelings about honeyfunds one way or another. I've seen them done and known people who have used them and I don't really care, though I do bring cash or a check instead just because of the cut that is taken out. We aren't doing one mainly because I like physical gifts to open and because even though we'll have been living together for 7ish years by the time we are married, there are plenty of things I would like or would like to upgrade as we move on towards bigger and better things in life (I am only 23 so we live in a townhome not an actual house yet)

But I don't care if other people use a honeyfund, though I do think it should be pared with a normal registry so there are plenty of options for guests.

ETA: Also I've been out on my own and paying my own way since I was 18.

Good, I think they're a great idea.

Has anyone on this thread even thought about the fact that a honeyfund is a registry asking for money while a macy's registry is a registry asking for gifts which both are doing the same thing: ASKING FOR SOMETHING!! funny thing is everyone is sooooo upset about people that offer honeyfunds but the thing is no one has to use it!!!! if a person wants to give a cash gift in a card so be it! if they want to give online via honeyfund or whatever other site that's fine too! why are we so worried about this anyway??? to each her own!!! ugh!!!

I think Millenials enjoy experiences, more than traditional love of possessions. I already live with my fiance, in an already decorated STUDIO, we don't need much else in it. Most people would end up giving us cash anyways, so we asked people to put money toward out joint savings account and honeymoon. We have THINGS, what we don't have is time and money to experience new places, TOGETHER. I just graduated college and started a new job and he works full time, not even sure if we want to buy a house right away. I don't see the difference between taking CASH from the wedding to buy furniature/home goods and taking CASH to fund experiences. I think it's a generation disconnect. I don't think it's tacky and I prefer experience and traveling over a new side table. If you're in a different generation and getting married, you may need money to buy your first place together and alittle furniature, that's you but everyone's situation is different. I'm 24, living with my fiance and getting married, my preferences will be different than a 40 year old getting married and moving in with their husband. Most millenials live with their SO before the wedding. Because that has changed, necessity has changed. Many judgemental people on here, whew! lol

Exactly. I think we value experiences over possession. It's a generational disconnect. Either way, you're asking for SOMETHING. whether it's items off of a registry, or cash. Most give cash anyways. This arguement is bitter.

There's A LOT we can say about every generation so ugh, yeah lol that's all i'll say.
