A journey in itself, wedding planning can be both exciting and exhausting. Luckily, it leads not only to an amazing celebration but also to an incredible vacation! Your honeymoon will be your biggest reward (next to your new husband or wife, of course) for all the hard work you’ve invested. A great way to slash the cost and involve family and friends in your trip-planning is to use a Honeymoon Registry. My husband and I used one of these amazing websites, and not only did they help us plan the trip of a lifetime by assisting with hotels, transfers, activities and more, it also helped us to afford an even more extravagant vacation than we had originally planned.
-The Big Day has a detailed honeymoon registry with the option to personalize each gift that you list with your own images and copy. Visit some of the sample registries available on their site to get a better idea of all that you can do.
-Honeymoon Wishes is a similar site with the same great options, including the ability to cash out on your gifts at any time and planning assistance.
-If you want to be your own travel agent and already have the destination, hotels and activities in mind, Honeyfund will be your perfect online destination. No setup fees, transaction fees or travel booking is required to take advantage of this detailed honeymoon registry.
-The Honeymoon offers a network of professional travel agents local to your zip code so that you can actually meet with someone in person to plan your trip instead of relying on phone and email.
-Say thank you for your honeymoon gifts with style. Check out Wedding Paper Divas for some chic thank you notes, like this Palm Leaf Thank You to reflect a tropical honeymoon. With your note, include a photo of you doing whatever activity was purchased for you through your honeymoon registry. Your guests will love that you were thoughtful enough to not only use their gift, but to think of them while you were doing it! Such a personal touch will truly show your appreciation.

Thank you for mentioning the benefits of a honeymoon registry and describing the attributes behind this increasingly mainstream registry option for engaged couples.
It is great to see how popular the honeymoon registry is becoming. When Traveler’s Joy first started accepting Members over four years ago, we realized there was a large number of engaged couples that were not satisfied with the diversity of the traditional wedding registry market. Since then, the honeymoon registry has become a mainstream option for brides and grooms and the industry has experienced significant growth.
We are proud to have helped thousands of couples travel to destinations they may never have considered - a great feeling for everyone at Traveler’s Joy.
I encourage you to contact us with any questions about our service. Most importantly, enjoy your honeymoon!
Best Regards,
