Honeymoon Shower!!

I have noticed a lot of honeyfund posts lately and so I thought I would share this. I work in a very upscale restaurant and we have private parties all the time. Well a few Sundays ago I worked a HONEYMOON SHOWER. That's right, not a bridal shower, but a honeymoon shower. Not only was the bride not registering for gifts for the actual wedding, but she was having a shower and asking for people to contribute to her honeymoon there too. I was absolutely floored. It just weirded me out because these people paid upwards of 5k for this shower but at the same time were asking for money for the their honeymoon. I am on the fence about how I personally feel about honeyfunds, I mostly think it might be a good option for some people, but I also understand how it is off-putting to others. But I found the idea of a honeymoon shower to be just a whole other dimension of wedding activites that I'm not sure I can get behind...

But just wait for the inevitable "you do you" responses.

I think a shower should be just for physical gifts, but I wouldn't be personally offended if I worked one. It's their choice and has nothing to do with me.

So they watched her open money? Or check the balance on her honeyfund? This is just bad.

I can get behind a honeymoon shower if the idea is to bring holiday themed gifts (new beach towels etc) but not for money. If you don't want physical gifts, then you don't have a shower (or if you want the experience still then you have a random theme, like a recipe shower). Ugh.

I could understand if it was buying the bride/couple luggage, travel pillows, beach towels, general travel accessories, etc, but if it's just to open money I don't see the point.

I didn't even think of it from that perspective. Good point. I would be extremely uncomfortable in that situation.
I wonder how this concept was conveyed on the invitations? No need for a gift, just bring money? Weird.

The point of the honeymoon shower is to celebrate and play games. The comments on here are so ridiculous. Obviously the couple isn't opening cards with money like you would if there were gifts. Some couples already have a house full of stuff and don't need gifts. This is just another way to have a shower. If someone is spending 5k on a shower that is another story and seems silly to spend that much, but most showers don't cost anywhere near that and you just enjoy playing games and celebrating.
