    A honeymoon fund is asking for money, which is rude. And they take a percentage. And you aren't "given activities"; you are given a check, so it's essentially dishonest.

    Just don't register. People will give you money.

    I would suggest not preparing a registry, guests most likely will get the hint to gift cash.

    Don't register at all, people will get the hint. This also means you have to skip a bridal shower or couples shower.

    Just don't register for anything and guests will assume that means you want cash! Smiley smile

    You don't. Don't have a registry and hope for the best.

    Keep in mind though that no registry means no shower.

    I added to my RSVP cards "Instead of creating a registry we choose to give everyone the option of giving gift cards".

    Have the registry for your bridal shower and on your invitation I believe I’ve seen “monetary gifts preferred,” which I think is a little rude, but hey to each its own.

    Whenever people ask me I just tell them we will have a card box because we have loved together for over a year and have to many things. If I did a honeymoon fund I would’ve done something similar when people ask. You could also do a website.

    I am doing word of mouth and no registry. Also, just because you don't have a registry doesn't mean you can't have a shower as previous comments have said. My friend had a bridal shower and we all got her cute little things for the wedding day to pamper herself and lingerie. Another friend literally put a nice note that they would like cash on their invite. I felt no way, I was actually relieved. Times are changing, there are no set rules anymore. Maybe be more "couth" with the older invitees but the younger generation understands.

    A friend told me they had a Wedding Wishing Well and in their invitation, they included a nice poem and basically asked people to donate to their wishing well and include a note for the newlyweds with words of encouragement, congrats, and advice for their marriage.

    Bad verse makes a rude request for money even worse. Just. Don't. Register.

    We just did a honeymoon fund on honeyfund, which linked right to our wedding website. We have lived together for almost 3 years so we have everything we need. I was initially worried that people would be put off by it, but my cousin said she loved the idea. Plus it’s optional ; I think most people tend to give cash for the actual wedding anyway.

    Set up a Honey Fund as the registry and give people the site. People can give electronically.

    You can use the cash for whatever you choose.
