What is a honeymoon registry?

A honeymoon registry is a service provided for couples who are planning their honeymoons. The service is usually done over the internet if not via telephone. The main idea is to present your dream honeymoon through an account which will be seen by all family, friends and guests.

Included in the account are the information on the couple, their planned trip as well as all expected expenses. The visiting users can then donate sums of money online to help the couple have the time of their lives.

Personal information on the couple as well as credit card information of contributors will be kept secure by the service provider. The account will last as preferred by the couples and contributions will continue to be accepted until the deadline. Afterwards, the total sums will be written in a check and sent by the company via priority mail or direct bank account transfer to the couples. The company benefits by deducting anywhere from 5% to 10% of the total sum as service charge.

The Process in Detail

Exactly how does the honeymoon registry work?  To begin, couples should create an account which includes all information about themselves, their background and where they are planning to hold their honeymoon. The account will be presented in a customizable page to make it appealing to visiting users. A honeymoon registry allows couples to actually book at any destination they please. The website may include a search engine that presents several places with their corresponding activities and prices. Couples can make reservations in many places at one time if they are planning to take a long tour.

Once the account is finished, there are ways how the couple can get their message across and alert family and friends that they are looking for willing contributors to help them have the honeymoon of their dreams. E-mails, postcards and letters are just some of the services included to advertise the couples’ page. Loved ones will then get to view the page upon clicking a link or following an invitation.

Contributions for the couples can be made via credit card or other online payment modes supported by the honeymoon registry. The couples will be notified if they received any gift and the total will also be presented on their page. They can immediately thank guests by sending e-cards or personally thanking them since a list of all contributors can also be readily printed. Redemption of all contributions can only be done by the couple who created the account.
