Yup, you read that right. You can honeymoon for free! If you really want to get the honeymoon of your dreams without denting your bank account, let your well-wishers finance it care of a honeymoon travel registry.
Honeymoon Registries to the Rescue!
The idea of the honeymoon travel registry started in the 90s. Back then, this option was offered by travel agencies and travel agents. Thankfully, the computer powers-that-be created the internet, making a more accessible and user-friendly interface.There are different services offering honeymoon registry websites. Some will charge you a fee for their services. Others make their living off their travel agency partners instead of the soon-to-weds and thus make their website service totally free. Others even donate part of the honeymoon cost to charity.
Making Your Honeymoon Wish List
Your honeymoon travel registry is not limited to transportation and lodging. Wedding guests and well-wishers can also contribute to a twelve-course dinner degustation, an exotic camel ride across the desert, and/or a full body treatment at a luxury spa. Giving more than one option for honeymoon activities can also serve as a survey for what your guests want you to do on your honeymoon!
Tracking Gifts
Honeymoon registry websites make gift tracking easier. No more writing long lists and thank you note mix-ups! Know just who had gifted exactly how much for each honeymoon item. Make your thank you notes ever so personal by including a photograph of you and your spouse enjoying your loved ones’ gifts.
Payment Options
No need to fret if your wedding guests have not yet transitioned to the digital age. Most honeymoon travel registry services offer alternatives to the website interface. Usually the website service is backed up by phone. Even Granny can manage to pick up the phone and call them to place her wedding gift. Payments need not be sent online, either; most accept check or even cash payments.
