Honeymoon Funds

For those planning a wedding, the question of a gift registry often looms large. With more and more couples living together before marriage, the practical purpose of a registry — to help the young newlyweds set up their first house — has gone by the wayside. If like many other couples you and your soon-to-be spouse would rather opt for something a little more adventurous as a registry, consider setting up a Honeyfund.

Honeyfund is a sweet website that lets couples build a registry based around a honeymoon. Rather than buying things, guests are encouraged to “buy” experiences for the newlyweds. The couple sets up a list of things they would like to do — fancy dinners, fun excursions, hotel rooms — and guests are able to contribute to a fund for the trip. The contributions are secure and the website is free, making it a safe option for all parties involved.

A Honeyfund registry is easy to customize, perfect for couples who want to have a few small listings or those who want to go big. It’s a great option for those who are paying for their own wedding and might have a hard time making the most of their limited honeymoon budget, or for those who don’t normally treat themselves to luxury on trips. It can also make a nice complement to a traditional registry, offering a little flexibility for the couple and gifters alike.

If traveling is important to you, a Honeyfund can help get your loved ones involved in planning your trip (while choosing from an approved list of options, of course!). It can also help save you from drowning in boxes as the wedding day gets closer, a big plus for anyone living in cramped quarters. For more information, visit the Honeyfund website.
