Honeymoon Fund

Most (if not all) honeymoon funds take a percentage of the money that your guests contribute. I would just skip a registry/honeymoon fund and your guests will take the hint to just gift cash/checks

I purchased a honeymoon fund box from hobby lobby and that will be in place of the gifts sign at the wedding.🤷🏾‍♀️

There are a LOT of mixed feelings/reactions to this. Honestly? In most cases if you don't have a registry, guests generally bring a card with cash or a check in it to the wedding as a gift. As a pp mentioned, most commercial "honeyfunds" are just middlemen who charge a fee to collect money from your guests and then give it to you after the wedding. For the life of me, I've never been able to figure out why someone would choose to do that. Some honeyfunds let the B&G select "experiences" guests can "buy," but they don't actually BUY anything. The couple just gets the cash equivalent (less fees) to spend on whatever they want; some guests who don't realize how this works find it really deceitful that their selection of massages or a fancy dinner didn't actually mean anything. There are other "old fashioned" guests who find any request/suggestion for cash gifts, in any form (e.g., honeyfund, a "cute" poem, a $$$ dance, or other collection), a major etiquette violation. At daughter's wedding, those exact guests were the ones who gave incredibly generous cash gifts (mostly $200-1000) without being told or asked for anything. There are a lot of options out there, but the old fashioned, "just don't say anything" often works quite well -- without any fees or risk of offending anyone. Good luck!

Check out Zola or Honeyfund. It’s pretty easy to figure out or you can probably call customer support.


I have no issue with funds. Once a guest asks, “Where are you registered?” I don’t see the difference whether they buy you a pan or give you money for a pan (or whatever you want to use the money for). Yes, the services charge a TINY fee. But easy for guests, and no worries about cash being stolen at your wedding.

We skipped the honeymoon fund due to the fee it incurs and older guests might not be comfortable trying to figure it out. We did a cute saying with our invitations mentioning we would rather have cash or check. Everyone said it was adorable and they have no problem with it.

We are using the knot's fund. It allowed us to pick things like hotel, flights, romantic dinner, and couples massage. This way our guests feel like they are purchasing something and not just giving money. The Knot also lets you set a limit for each item and guests can contribute however much they want towards that overall price. We did connect an amazon registry to The Knot. This way those who are not comfortable with the honeyfund can purchase items.
