How Do/Did You Mention A Honeymoon Fund?

Well, usually etiquette states to leave all mentions of money/registries off the invitations. I would put it up on your wedding website and put the URL on your invites. Also, word of mouth usually works out really well. And if you aren't setting up a honeymoon registry, but just asking for money, word of mouth is definitely better.

I put in a buisness card insert with the invitations that had our wedding website info which had a link to our honeymoon registry. My bridesmaids did the same with my bridal shower invites and then word of mouth i told EVERYONE lol and my mom tells everyone she talks to. Then when someone in our families ask someone closer to us what we want they say help with our honeymoon.

I agree with Bright Eyes. It is best to post the info on your wedding website and not mention it in the actual invitations

Thanks for the input. I think this will be a sticky topic for us....b/c out of our guests 1/3 is FH co-workers, 1/3 is my co-workers and the other 1/3 is friends/family. I put my website up last April when we got engaged and only about 6 folks told me they went to it...so putting it on the site might not be noticed. Actually, I really need to up date my site. And word of mouth is more like US telling our co-workers which might sound...i dunno...greedy to mention since alot of folks in this area attends weddings and don't really bring gifts. Which is FINE...a gift is someone presence not something in their hands....but I was *hoping* that some of the "bosses" or others whom are very well off *might* help us out with small honeymoon donations. Gosh I sound horrible....I hope that it doesn't come off that way...I was just hoping that a little honeymoon help could make the difference of going on the honeymoon in May Vs. August.

Don't worry! You don't sound horrible at all. Totally understandable. Just be prepared for some people to show up with gifts. I know that the older people in my family wouldn't dream of going to a wedding without a blender or a toaster haha.

Cnmnfe44 - thats so funny because I'm doing the same thing with business card inserts, and my MOH included them in my bridal shower invites and my mom also tells everyone!

Word of mouth works really well. My FH and I live a few states away from where our wedding will take place so we cant have any gifts brought to the wedding because we wont be able to take them on the plane. So our families and bridal party are politely reminding everyone of our distance troubles so that they understand why we are requesting any gifts be from our honeyfund.
