Honeymoon Registry??

Honeymoon/cash funds tend to be perceived as poor etiquette (I know my dad about had a stroke when I mentioned that we had considered doing one), so I just wouldn't register at all. The small registry you have would be good for a bridal shower if someone hosts one for you, but other than that people will take the hint to gift you with cash/checks

If you want to do a cash registry, I wouldn't work it anyway. Just put it on your wedding website & people will donate if they want to!

We did a honeymoon registry but we registered for specific items/activities on our honeymoon (ie swimming with dolphins, poolside cabana rental, romantic dinner out, etc) rather than just having a generic “fund.”


Many people told us they preferred buying us an “experience” rather than a kitchen appliance hahaha. We also sent people photos of ourselves doing the activity that they paid for, so they would know we actually did it and enjoyed it.

Honestly, unless all your guests are your same-aged friends, there is the potential for some on your guest list to find any request/suggestion of cash gifts as in very poor taste. Odds are, if you don't have a registry or just a small registry (there are often some guests who are going to insist on buying a gift regardless of what the couple says so you may as well try to give them some direction), most wedding guests will gift cash. Daughter and SIL had a registry that was mostly purchased for her shower and said nothing about wedding gifts or a preference anywhere. From extended family and all friends over 30, they received, often extremely generous, cash gifts (like in the range of $200 per couple, with some as high as 500-1000). Knowing our family, those same people would have found any request for cash extremely tacky/rude, but left on their own they gave very generously. From their 20-something friends, then tended to receive much more modest physical gifts (so daughter was glad she had several lower priced items on her registry), or in some cases no gifts at all. They were happy and thankful with every response.

We decided to do a honeymoon fund since we’ve already been living together for 5 years (no I do NOT need another hand towel, grandma 🙄)
What we decided to do was set up the registry through Wanderable and have specific things that people can “fund”. We had options for various dinners at places, different experiences for us to do and what not.
Someone on here also said they phrased is saying “presents not required, your presence is enough but if you wish to gift to the couple, here are some experiences you can help with”Congrats and good luck!

I did a honeymoon registry and people seemed more inclined to just give me cash straight up. My registry was also itemized by activity too and they were more inclined to buy those than just give to the general cash fund
