HONEYMOON By Jonathan Hermann H oneymoon registries have been around for over a decade now, yet some couples shy away, feeling that it’s a tacky way to ask for money. No matter how you slice it, a registry is a polite way of asking for gifts; a honeymoon registry simply asks for them in a form that leads to amazing memories. Below are some pros of having a honeymoon registry. FUND THEY’RE NOT JUST FOR HONEYMOONS The idea behind a honeymoon registry is paying for couples to enjoy unique experiences while traveling. So if you’re having a destination wedding, it’s totally acceptable for your honeymoon registry to also include pre- and post-wedding activities. THERE ARE OPTIONS FOR EVERYONE ASK THE EXPERTS FOR HELP AVAILABLE FOR GUESTS ANYWHERE Don’t worry—your aunt doesn’t have to fly to the Jamaican resort to buy you a spa certificate for hot rock massages. She can easily do it online through the honeymoon registry website, which eliminates the need for guests to find a specific store and helps them avoid shipping costs. As an added bonus, guests who couldn’t make the wedding can now feel like they’re part of the party by pitching in.
