HoneyFund vs. Wanderable – for our Honeymoon registry

Be forewarned: these sites do not go over well on these forums.

We used honeymoonpixie.com

As a guest, I'd be pissed knowing that either A) Not all of my money is going to the bride and groom because you'll have to pay a fee or B) They're making me pay an additional fee. No. Don't make your guests pay a damn fee to give you money.

.

BTW.... FBIL used Wanderable. By the time the wedding came around, 1 person bought them strawberries for the hotel. We bought them a blender. We would have given them a check if it wasn't for them using a honeyfund. ETA spelling

Put together a tiny registry, your guests will give you cash, use that for your honeymoon. Those sites take a fee and give you a lump sum at the end anyway.

Why why why must these posts always pop uo

Adults know how to give you money, and they can do it without a fee attached.

Make a small registry and spread the word via word of mouth.

Just don't make a registry. Adults know how to adult.

I agree with Celia...tell people on facebook (you can make a group just for the people you are inviting) or your wedding page... honestly people...

Beka....tell people what? You can't tell people to give you money. You never assume that your guests will give you gifts.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Didn't know there were so many feelings about this! What we've decided to do is: have a few things on Wanderable that don't have a fee and that are actually awesome excursions we'll do. We'll also have a "regular" registry at a store, and additionally kindly hint to ppl that we're just trying to finance our honeymoon. They can choose whichever route they want to go. SORRY I'M NEW TO THIS FORUM STUFF DON'T JUDGE ME!

Tami no worries. There are a lot of very strong opinions on here. Just do your wedding the way you and your FH want. The opinions here are strong, but that doesn't mean that you have to agree with them. I'm on the outside of a lot of the strong opinions.

^ Thanks for the kind words, Shannon. And well wishes on your upcoming big day!!

Yep, just do whatever you want.

If you are a member at triple a- their registry is free!! For you and guests!

Tami - in all seriousness, people will understand to gift cash in lieu of gifts if there is a very small registry created. Thanks for being patient with me, sometimes the memes create more amusement for me than anyone else.

I feel what you did is okay. People mostly oppose the fees. Just make the registries small and people will understand.
