Registry 101 - Creating a Successful Honeymoon Registry
Gift Registries are very popular, especially for weddings. Traditionally couples
have registered for household items such as toasters and blenders. Now we have
approached a new era in which most are pre-established prior to marriage or just
getting married later in life. Couples need to spend quality time together, get
to know each other, and lay the foundation for their life together. They need a
vacation, but not just any vacation, a once in a lifetime vacation; a honeymoon.
So, why not register for it? Never thought you could trek through Africa, relax
your feet in the sands of the Caribbean, or bungee jump off the Sydney Bridge in
Australia …Now you can! Honeymoon registries allow your family and friends to
send you and your partner into the sunset for your unforgettable vacation. They
purchase components of your honeymoon for you. Below are just a few examples.
Over the water bungalow in Tahiti
Couples massage on the beach in beautiful Los Cabos
Romantic trip up the Eiffel Tower in Paris
Secluded picnic lunch on the beach in the Bahamas
And much more!
Interested in a honeymoon registry and want to know how to make it work for
you? Below are a few tips to create a successful honeymoon registry.
Be Creative - Have fun with your registry and design it to
express your personalities. Make your components come alive by
using descriptive words to allow your guests to feel as if they
are a part of your honeymoon adventure.
Upload a Photo - When guests access your registry and they
see your photo together as a couple it personalizes it for them.
The registry becomes your own unique experience instead of an
ordinary department store registry.
Know your Guests - You and your partner know your guests
and understand their budgets vary. When creating your registry
keep in mind the various purchase prices. You don't want to
leave anyone out, nor make anyone feel uncomfortable. Encourage
participation from all your guests by giving them the option of
contributing anywhere from $15 to $100 towards your honeymoon.
Get the Word Out - Promote! Promote! Promote! For a successful
registry you let everyone know where you are registered. Include
registry announcement cards in your engagement letters, shower, and
wedding invitations. Advise your immediate family members and
bridal party of your gift wishes, so that they may be actively
involved in communicating directly to your guests.
You've booked your vacation, created your honeymoon registry and notified
your guests. What's next? Sit back, relax and dream, we do everything for
you. All you have to do is start packing your bags and get ready for your
dream honeymoon!
