Honeymoon Bridal Registries
 Honeymoon bridal registries are one of the greatest ideas to hit the bridal market ever!
With a growing trend of couples living away from home prior to marriage, the traditional wedding registry, complete with silverware, mixing cups, and china settings, has become practically obsolete.
Even if you do need these things, wouldn't you rather pick them up at a discount store, and receive a shower or wedding gift that will truly give you joy?
How Do Honeymoon Bridal Registries Work?Well, like so many other things in our lives, this type of wedding registry service is conveniently operated through the internet. Don't worry, if your Aunt Mildred doesn't have a computer, she can call and speak with a real person who will help her to purchase you a slice of honeymoon heaven, at the price she wants to pay!
 You'll be provided with a website that will enable you to register your entire honeymoon or destination wedding online. Just think, what would you love to do on your honeymoon…go horseback riding along the beach, revel in a spa treatment or massage for two, upgrade to a luxury suite?
In addition to the basics like airfare and hotel, your guests can pre-pay for any activity you list in your wedding registry.
You’ll be provided with a list of great ideas, along with photos that will appear in your registry. A convenient “create your own wizard” will assist you in adding anything to your request list that isn’t included in the options provided.
Easy, Free Setup Setup is about a 15 minute process, and is totally free. If you haven't chosen a honeymoon destination the website will offer suggestions and information to help you decide.
If you'd like to set up a registry but haven't selected a honeymoon spot, you can list your destination as undecided and still proceed in setting up your wedding registry.
Your website will become active as soon as you've completed the setup, and will remain active until 90 days after your wedding.
Guests Love Vacation Bridal Registries! Think about the last time you gave a shower or wedding gift, maybe you purchased the gravy boat to match your cousin's china, or chipped in for something really exciting like a vacuum cleaner. Wouldn't it have been alot more fun to have given the couple an hour of jet skiing or parasailing over the turquoise waters of the Caribbean?
 With honeymoon bridal registries, you determine the activities that you'd love to have pre-paid, and you set the requested gift amount.
If a romantic dinner cruise is going to cost you $200, you can break the total amount into different gift amounts that will accommodate the budgets of your guests. You might ask for 1 gift of $100, and 2 gifts of $50 each to cover the total cost. Not only will you enjoy an experience that you'll treasure forever, but your guests will know that they've given you a unique, spectacular piece of your honeymoon that you might have been unable to afford on your own. Now that's a win-win situation!
Additional Services Along with the gift service, most honeymoon bridal registries offer the bride and groom a free wedding website, announcement cards to include in shower invitations, an online message board, gift announcement cards, email notification of gifts received, and an ongoing accounting of gifts that have been purchased for them.
Before the honeymoon, you'll know exactly how much of your honeymoon has been pre-paid. You can draw funds from your wedding registry account at any time.
It's important to note that gifts that are purchased through these bridal registries are not booked through the registry service. Rather, the funds for your trip are collected from the bridal registry company and dispersed to you at any time you request. In this way, you’ll have full control over which restaurant you dine at, what masseuse you visit, etc.
Is There a Charge for This Service?Most companies charge a fee of around 10% (less if credit cards are not used for payment). If this sounds high to you, consider the costs associated with more traditional gifts, including the time spent shopping, taxes, gas money, wrapping costs, and shipping charges.
Also keep in mind the other elements that are provided with this type of service, including your wedding website, blog, announcements, etc.
Some services will allow the bride and groom to choose whether the fees are paid by them or paid through the gift amounts the guests have given. If honeymoon bridal registries make sense to you, shop for the best price and option for you.
