Honeyfund Opinions

Sianna, on May 18, 2019 at 2:16 PM Posted in Registry 0 7
Hey everyone! I get married on August 24th. I’ve had a couple friends who really enjoyed Honeyfund but I would like to know more about it and what you thought. We have set up the Facebook event to get the addresses, and will be sending out invitations within the next month. My questions are:
Do you share it with everyone on Facebook or just who you invited?
When do you set it up and share it? Now that we are requesting addresses? Just once the invitations are out?
Is it very effective? Would you do it again?
Does it come straight to your bank account when the money is donated or once the “campaign” is over?

Thank you all!

    Hi Sianna! There are plenty of posts about Honeyfund on here. I would only share the information with people that are invited. You can have the information on your website if you are having one. I wouldn't advise putting the registry info on invitations.

    I'm not personally a fan of honeyfunds because I don't think it's polite to ask your friends and family for money, but if you're going to use one, basic etiquette still applies. You shouldn't post about it on your Facebook publicly or in a closed group. Social media isn't the place for your wedding communications. Gifts and registries also shouldn't be included anywhere in your invitation. You can provide the link on your wedding website and let your guests know via word of mouth if they ask where you're registered. I would set up whatever kind of registry you want to go with now since your wedding is only a few months away.

    Why did you post the same thing 3 times in a row...

    I’m sorry, I haven’t used this before. I’m trying to delete them.

    So I believe that you can go in to move the donations to your bank account on your own and not have to wait (honeyfund does take a percentage of your gifts, keeping mind). Honeyfund is pretty frowned upon here on wedding wire just to warn you. People seem to think it akin to just asking people for money and deem it rude.
    Personally we are doing the Disney version to help us with our Disney honeymoon. We've told people by word of mouth that this is the only registry we are having but not giving out the actual details until we send out our invites in June.

    I would not put it on Facebook or send it out. Wedding gifts should never be requested. If someone wants to throw you a shower or asks you for your registry information, you could share it with them then. Honeyfund does take a percentage if each gift.

    Do you have a wedding website? You can put your registry information on there or just wait for your guests to ask and tell them then. If you are only having a Honeyfund and not an actual registry, it's best to decline a shower since you won't actually be receiving physical gifts.

    There is a common misconception on here that Honeyfund always takes a percentage. That is not true. There are no fee options listed right on their website. They're not as convenient of course, but they could save you some money so they're definitely worth checking out.
