Honeymoon Fund jar for the reception! Creative suggestions?

Forgot to mention that my honeymoon is in the Bahamas so I’m thinking ocean themed

Sorry, this is tacky and poor etiquette. Please don't ask people for money. People will give you money, you don't have to ask for it.

There’s no cutesy way to ask your guests to pull out their wallets and give you money. They already spent their time and money to attend your wedding and likely already purchased a gift or wrote a check. Don’t ask for more.

Nope. Don’t do this.

It’s fine to have in your home to put spare change in. But you should never be asking guests to open their wallets at your wedding when they’ve already purchased a gift and possibly traveled.

View Quoted Comment I’m registered through Target and Honeyfund. I’m giving guests an option to physically do both 😊 thanks for your unmerited opinion though, I’m only looking for helpful creative ideas.

Sorry love, people don't normally bring spare cash to a wedding. To beg for it is unseemly. Every wedding I have been to those jars become rubbish containers by the end of the evening. You don't need to panhandle at your own wedding, a small registry will get the idea across.

View Quoted Comment I will be doing it regardless. I have seen the idea everywhere and I love it. We aren’t doing dollar dances or anything like it, and there’s no pressure on anyone. I’ve been to several weddings with it and no one thought it was tacky. Therefore, I will be doing it and I am only looking for creative opinions

View Quoted Comment So not only are you asking them to pay for your honeymoon, but you’re also asking them to provide extra cash at the reception? This isn’t “giving them an option.” If they want to gift cash, it will already be in a card when they arrive. They aren’t going to bring it in their wallet in hopes that you’ll have a jar with a cute phrase for them to put money in. You may not like my opinion, but it is basic etiquette and you’ll get the same response from most WW users.

View Quoted Comment Unless you polled every person at every wedding you saw it at then you have no clue who felt it was tacky. People were just kind enough to keep the thought to themselves.

View Quoted Comment This is so so true. Guests are generally expected to keep their opinion to themselves about weddings to keep the bride and groom happy. Yet they have little to no idea how badly their lack of graciousness or class is gossiped about. Especially when it comes to asking for money to fund their whatever. Every money grab at any wedding I have ever been to has always been whispered about. People give far less money for gifts when they feel they are being taken advantage of. It is quite literally the most basic of human psychology.

I agree with majority people on the honeymoon jar. I would advise against it. It’s really in bad taste to have your guests pay for your honeymoon. If you can’t afford to take one then wait til you can.

View Quoted Comment We can afford it, but the idea is that they could gift us fun activities on our honeymoon, like our Honeyfund is set up to do. It’s a pretty popular trend now, as Honeyfund registry has partnered with target.

OP wants no advice, just to insult everyone that doesn't agree. Even though PPs sound wisdom may net her more gifts toward whatever she may have planned. Flagging all this nonsense.

View Quoted Comment You are completely right hun, I didn’t ask for advice one time. Simply asked for creative opinions. Not one of you answered what I asked.

View Quoted Comment Agreed, so many flags. OP, you are being so disrespectful. First off, you cannot tell people not to post, it’s against the CGs. Second off, honeyfunds in whatever form they come in are tacky and rude.

View Quoted Comment As I have repeated over and over, all the comments above are unsolicited opinions. I didn’t ask if I should or shouldn’t, I simply said I’m doing this and I’d like creative ideas on the physical jar itself. I think it’s disrespectful and off-topic to force your opinions at me when I simply didn’t ask for them. When I said nicely that I’m still doing it, I was told I’d get gossiped about and that my wedding would be an obvious moneygrab. It’s sad to hear people talk about guests and a community they don’t even know. I flagged as well.

View Quoted Comment Goodness gracious, because we are trying to tell you there is a better way to achieve your goal. If you want money, don't ask for it! Don't beg at your own wedding! Ask for nothing, receive everything. Generosity is more prevalent when not demanded upon honored guests. Learn from counsel, don't demean it.

View Quoted Comment You flagged people because they gave you honest advice? Really?

View Quoted Comment We have our honeymoon paid for. We aren’t demanding anything from anyone! This would simply go towards events and traveling expenses. I could argue that creating a registry and putting it in your details card is making it incredibly clear you’re asking for gifts. Same with a “cards” basket. If you come to a wedding, you’re trying to start the couple off well with your gifts. We are setting the jar nowhere completely obvious. It will be at the reception next to the cards basket. In my opinion, it’s a way for people to see what they’re gifting. We have different opinions, and that’s fine. I appreciate all of this talk over etiquette, but it’s very clear that many, MANY people disagree with you (considering hobby lobby sells these containers now, lol) though it seems a lot of people on here agree with you. I’m still doing this.
