Which online honeymoon fund?!

Any gesture that translates to "please give us cash, that's what we want" is already tacky.

I don't think it's tacky. People always prefer to give you something that you really want.

I am against cash/honeymoon registries mainly because of the fees that they charge. Honeyfund as the option to be free (if there are no online payments, but then if there is about 3% fee) and depositagift takes 7.5%.

If a guest wants to give you money, they can give you cash or a check. Both of which are free and you get 100% of the money. If you don't want physical gifts, then simply don't register or have a very small limited registry. People will get the hint. We did not register for our wedding. We already had everything we needed and our small condo was already overflowing with junk. We preferred money. We never directly said we did. We just didn't register. Every single guest except for 2 people gave us cash at our wedding. We didn't need a cash/honeymoon registry. We got thousands of dollars, and we got to keep 100% of that. If we would have gotten that money from a cash registry, we would have gotten a few hundred dollars less because of the site fees.

I went with honeyfund.

I agree with Amy because I would much rather give someone cash then a physical gift. It's less of a decision making hassle!

I personally like honeyfund and honeyfund actually has a premade "saving for a home" registry thing!

@Amy V. I agree.

But I went with Honeyfund. I like it. Super easy to set up and share with guests.

We are doing honey fund. I don't find it tacky at all. Everyone will ask what we want and this is what we want. we are also doing a small registry at bed bath and beyond for those people that want to do a physical gift. However I can't find anything I want to put on it except FH wants the rumba vacuum that vacuums all by itself. Lol and we are doing the free version. Our guests will enjoy knowing what we do with the cash they give us. We are also going to send a picture of us doing whatever activity a guests contributes to with their thank you card.

Eeps, I agree with MrsO because who wants to pay 7.5% to the company?? That's a LOT! Even 3% is too much, in my opinion. I think sending them a picture of you guys doing the activity sounds soooo sweet!

I think I'm going to go with Honeyfund as well. And it does allow for you to add a part for saving for a house. The way I look at it, people will give you cash regardless, but at least having the Honeyfund makes it creative and fun.

I agree with MrsO and this is also the route we are taking.

I Agree with MrsO. Just don't register! Who wants to pay for money you are getting as a gift??

Thanks ladies!!

And I agree with both Amy and MrsO. Now to the question is to do a registry or not. FH and I have been together for 10 1/2 years and have everything we need. If we registered it would be for small upgrade things. Hmmmmm.... Decisions, decisions.

Does anyone have a current honeyfund page I can look at as an example of how it's set up? My friends used TrevelersJoy.com. It was a GREAT site, but the charge is 7%. If Honeyfund is a better option, I'd love to check it out.

We used travelersjoy too I loved being able to set it up just how we wanted. yeah, the fee was crappy tho.

Do we pay the fee or guests? How does that work?

Agreed Amy V!!

I Have Had A Few Friends Who Didn't Register Anywhere. They Both Said It Was A Huge Disaster, They Both Had Established HomeS And Didn't Need Stuff For It. These Days People Expect Some Type Of Registry For Weddings. They Spent A Lot Of UnnecessaryTime Fielding Calls About Gifts. Even If It Is A honeymoon Registry and It Cost 3%, That's Only $3 for Each$100. They Will Spend That Much For A Card To Put The Check In. (Sorry AboutThe Caps, The Ww App Is Weird)

We did a normal registry for the traditionalist and Honeyfund for the honeymoon. We didn't think it was tacky if we're asking for stuff for our house or stuff for the honeymoon.

I've seen people ask for money towards their student loans, and I thought that was a little tacky. I understand it's for the financial wellness of the pair, but I just can't get passed it.

I have a honeyfund - here is the link

I agree with Amy V. - it's not tacky - we all need to get over the cash thing....

Thanks for sharing Melissa! Looks great. Love the picture.

Cheree thanks for the input and your experience.
