Communicating your HoneyFund registry

thenewmrsthang, on May 27, 2015 at 1:08 PM Posted in Honeymoon 0 135

Hello. I have a question about spreading the word about HoneyFund. I have decided to go with HF for my wedding registry however, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about how they communicated HF to their guests? Did you include info on your HF registry in your wedding invitations (I heard this is tacky but, hey, if it works!) Did anyone use a wedding day display where people can drop in their cards of money/checks in? I have HF on my wedding website but I was just wondering if there was anything else I can do to get the word out, especially for guests who aren't as computer savvy. Thanks!

    I suggest not using a Honeyfund. They are rude. And they take a percentage of what your guests give you.

    Please do not use a Honey Fund. Asking for cash is rude. A Honeyfund is asking for cash with a cute name.

    Registry information does not belong the invite. It is more than tacky, it is presumptuous and most guests will find incredibly rude. Put your register information on the website, and otherwise just use word of mouth. Tell your VIPs (like your parents, your bridal party) where you are registered, and then when guests ask, they can tell them. Card boxes are acceptable at the wedding, but do not label it 'for cash' or anything like that. Just 'cards'. People who brought a card and/or check will know what's it's for.

    Oh lovey, this is not a good topic here. Just put a card box out at your wedding.

    There is no "but hey, if it works!", Don't put it on your invitation. Treat your guests like guests and not wallets. If you insist on doing a honeymoon registry, put the info on your website and spread the news by word of mouth. If you just want cash, don't do a honeyfund, they keep a portion of it.

    You could pass a basket around during dinner like they do at church (Insert sarcasm). I also suggest not doing this. Have a small registry.

    If you do want cash, the classiest way to get it is to not register anywhere else. Guests will get the hint and give you cash. Please do not set up a honey fund and please do not put it on your invitation!

    Put "we want you to pay for our luxury vacation because we are clearly not adults" at the bottom of your invites.

    I'm not a fan of the honeyfund. I suggest a smaller registry.

    Exactly what Beth and the other have said. If you really insist on doing this and losing a percentage to the honeyfund website, then go ahead and put a link on your wedding website and spread the word by mouth only. If someone put it on their invite, especially with a cutesy poem, mean bad people like me will go out of their way to buy you a large useless physical gift just to be annoying. I would ensure that "it doesn't work."

    It's rude to solicit for gifts in general -- even a traditional registry shouldn't be advertised on the wedding invite.

    Typically, most people give cash anyway without having to be asked or told.

    I suggest a small or no registry at all. Definitely do NOT put a HoneyFund on your invitation an honestly I wouldn't even do one at all. They are rude, tacky and as Athena said they will take a portion of what your guests give you. If you are deadest on cash gifts only do a card box at your wedding but do NOT outright ask your guests for money.
