A Honeymoon
Registry is the Vehicle for Your Dream-Come-True Wedding Gift
by Darlene
Berkel
The wedding
registry is an excellent way to have the guests chip in together towards a more
meaningful set of gifts. Here the couple would have to register with the wedding
registry or have the guests informed about it. Make sure you are conveying as
clearly as possible what you would want your guests to give you, so they can
make the choice that would benefit you the most.

The Advantages
and Disadvantages of the Honeymoon Registry
First of all,
let us clear up the concept of the honeymoon registry, which is similar to the
wedding registry. However, while the latter would inspire wedding gifts, the
former would request the guests to contribute towards the budget of the
honeymoon hence, the name of honeymoon registry. While the idea is excellent and
often is extremely successful, there are a few major drawbacks with this system
|
|
It will require
an early notice to all the guests, i.e. some three months in advance. This means
that the guests would have to be invited about three months in advance, which
will in turn mean that all the arrangements (at least the majority of them) be
finalized and printed in a card some three months in advance as well.
In spite of the
long advance notice, sometimes even several weeks after the wedding not all the
guests will have joined the honeymoon registry. In that case it would be
difficult for you (unless you can complement the rest of the finances) to really
take up the honeymoon plan, which could be extremely frustrating.

The honeymoon
registry will take a lot of effort, coordination and planning. If and when it
does not turn out as successful as you would like it to be, it is kind of heart
breaking, and not a great way to start your married life.
However, before
we write it off as a bad tradition, let us cast a glance on the advantages it
offers. When the guests are really tuned in to the idea, you will find an
excellent way to pay for a wonderful honeymoon without stretching your financial
sources any further. |

Instead of
getting five toasters, three juicers, and unending sets of china tea sets, you
will be able to make your wishes clear about what you need from your guests. The
guests could decide whether they want to join the honeymoon registry or not,
based upon their financial capacity and commitments.

Even in the
worst of worst conditions, you are still getting a good source of cash through
this. In this case, you can always think about the honeymoon registry as a
subsidy to your honeymoon expenses, even if you do not get buyers for the things
listed in the registry.
Lastly, you can
use the money deposited in your honeymoon registry any way you want. It does not
matter where you go and where you stay for your honeymoon, or if you do not go
at all. They money is yours to use as you would like best.
