Honeymoon Fund

Having a physical registry at more than one place doesn't come off greedy. Make sure you put items on there that are from a variety of price ranges.

Asking for money is rude. Adults know how to give money without being asked.

Keep the bar, trash the honeyfund. Search around here for previous answers because it comes up every four days.

Adults know how to give you money. Make a small registry; most people will give you cash.

I promise you people will bring cash/checks no matter what. You can use that to put towards the honeymoon if you want. Have a small registry for physical things for the guests who would like to buy a traditional gift. Towels, upgrade pots/pans, blankets, home decorations, cutting boards, things you want but prob wouldn't buy for yourself, etc. People will get the hint. We had a small-medium size registry and nearly all the items were bought and given at the shower and for the wedding we received mostly checks/cash/gift cards. Same result and you will offend a lot less people.

No honeyfund. Create a small gift registry and guests will get the hint and give cash. Use the cash to fund the honeymoon if that is what you choose to do.

Oh man people on here don't like honey moon funds. I say to each his own amd whatever works for you and FH. If a guest can't afford something on my registry then I don't want them to feel like they have to spend more then they can. I don't think it's rude at all.

It's not just here Lauren. It's universally tacky.

I've seen and heard of people doing honeyfunds. I don't think it's that rude if you have one honeyfund and then a separate registry, if a guest doesn't like the honeyfund then they can buy a gift instead. It's up to you and your guests, you know them best... certainly better than strangers on WW!

No to the honeymoon fund.

No honeyfunds. Gross.

Honeyfunds are an outright money grab and many are deceptive to the guests. So rude.

Wait wait @Spaghetti, a honeyfund and a registry??

Why do people think this is ok? Why don't you just take up a collection for them to pay for your wedding?! Sheesh

.

Beside the point because it's rude for other reasons but also remember these companies take a cut of the gifts - let adults take the hint and everyone ends up better off

@lauren I hated Honeyfunds before I was even engaged. Why should I pay a fee to give you money. Then to know that you didn't use that money for the honeymoon was extremely rude. (And the company takes a percentage of your money)

I will always buy form the registry or write a check from now on.

Definitely no honeyfund. It's like panhandling when you're throwing a big party. Just make a small registry and people will get the hint to give cash.

As an example, we needed to wait to go on our honeymoon because I'm in grad school and I can't miss that much class. It was also super stressful to me to plan a wedding and a honeymoon at the same time! So we didn't book anything for our honeymoon until after our wedding. We had a little money put aside, but most of our guests brought cash to the wedding. We were able to fund over half our 9-day trip to Greece from wedding checks - without a honeyfund.

Just ditch it and save yourself from the side eye.

I honestly never thought any less of the honey fund registry as I did a regular registry. I'm used to trading money with my friends through pay pal and square all the time so I guess the small fee never bothered me. But I did want to make sure I didn't look tacky or greedy doing both. I'm now on the fence about honeyfund after reading through here.

I should also say I loved being able to give my friends a gift online while my fiancé rushed us to the wedding site lol

Don't make a registry to ask people to pay for a vacation when you probably have guests that can't afford to go on one themselves.

Make a small registry and you'll probably get cash. Heck, even if you make a "regular" sized registry, you'll still probably get cash. Then you can take that cash and put it towards your honeymoon, and you'll have the added benefit of knowing you didn't blatantly ask people for money. Out of the 139 guests at my wedding, every single adult person/couple gave us money. We only got 1 boxed gift from my former students.

My husband and I didn't go on a honeymoon because we couldn't afford it. 4 years later, we still haven't. We're hoping to afford a 5 or 10 year anniversary trip. If I can't afford to go on a vacation, please don't expect me to take it well when you ask me to pay for yours.

You will not find any support on here for a honeyfund

Get rid of the honeyfund. Just don't register for much. Guests will get the hint and bring cash gifts. Asking for money is rude.
