Honeymoon fund or card with money

I would just put cash or a check into a card. The honeymoon fund will take part of the money for administrative expenses.

I agree with 2d bride. Honeyfunds take a cut. Also, I can't speak for everyone, but my husband and I sat down and read every card as we opened them. I have saved all of them as well. I appreciate the cards and loving words of our family and friends.

I agree with PPs, I would give cash or check in a card instead of paying a website part of your gift.

I would still do a check/cash in a card. As PPs said, you'll get money in fees taken out if you give through a Honeyfund!

Thank you, I never thought about the website taking a cut of the money.

It isn’t weird at all to do a card without money inside ! A card is always appreciated, especially if it comes with a nice note. When I gave to a friend’s honey fund, I gave a card with a note in it that I had contributed (something along the lines of “Hope you enjoy the honeymoon activity”)— partly because I didn’t want to go in empty handed and have her think I didn’t gift them, and partly because I wanted to make sure it had gone through successfully

Agree with PP's, just give them that amount of cash in a card.

I'd rather just give them a card with money

Give them all the money, no share to a fund. Most honeymoon funds do not give the lump sum of money to the couple for a week to a month after the wedding. And you are not buying a particular activity . That is a bait and switch thing. They say buy this particular thing, because people like to think their money is going somewhere specific. But after they take their cut, they give the couple one sum, to do anything they want with, not any activity they led you to believe you bought .

I feel weird going to a wedding without a card, so we always bring one even if we have gifted something in advance. We read all our cards after our wedding, and whole punched them then kept them in a tote with all our wedding stuff we planned on keeping.
