Traveler’s Joy Honeymoon Registry is an on-line honeymoon registry that lets you create a fun and stylish website detailing your honeymoon plans. It allows wedding guests to pay for honeymoon itineraries and activities, such as romantic dinners, scuba diving, or contribute to airfare and lodging costs.

So you have decided on a honeymoon gift registry. How do you make sure your guests have as much fun selecting gifts for you as you will have on your trip?

Honeymoon Registry gifts are more likely to be purchased if you take some extra time on the wording. Guests want to feel that they have given you something you really want and they want to feel good doing it. The more information you give them, the better. When they are asked what they got you, they want to be able to say “an amazing guided hike in a rainforest where they will see the endangered ________” rather than “Oh, money for their room”.

So follow these five rules and make your honeymoon registry really shine:-

  • Be very descriptive about the activities – the why, where, when and how. Why do you want to go scuba diving? What will you see… under the sea. Detail your itinerary, break it down by day if you have to.
  • Be funny (see previous point). Write in an enthusiastic, down to earth way about your ideal honeymoon.
  • Get creative, ask for your first celebratory drink (or two), ask for a bikini, ask for new luggage. Guests want to give something fun and spirited.
  • Personalize it. The guests know you. Be honest. She needs breakfast in bed because she’s grumpy until her caffeine high sets in. He wants Travel Scrabble to be forever the reigning honeymoon champ.
  • Give a range from $30 to $300. Break down large items, for example, ask for 1 night upgrade to the honeymoon suite 8 times (like place settings).
  • We hope these tips help make your honeymoon registry great! For more ideas, visit Traveler’s Joy Honeymoon Registry and check out other couple’s honeymoon registry pages.

      Here are some additional thoughts as well. Two of the most important factors in your guests’ enjoyment and success of your honeymoon registry are the etiquette with which you spread the word and the level of personalization in the registry itself.

      When we started our registry service four years ago, we built the couples’ ability to personalize their registry into our easy registry creation tool. But we didn’t know then how important it would be to help educate our couples in the etiquette department. Since then, we’ve added articles and links, and pass along techniques to help spread the word when you register with us.

      We see a lot of honeymoon registry sites with a focus on neither of these crucial aspects of the registry, but instead spend their time trying to sell you travel or sell their service to the couple, not the guest. We started the service because we couldn’t stand all the fees too! We hope you’ll visit us at Smart Honeymoon!

      Best wishes and Happy Registering!!
