Why should we use the My Wedding honeymoon registry?

Using the My Wedding honeymoon gift registry allows you to pre-plan what you want to do on your honeymoon or at your destination wedding. Using the My Wedding honeymoon registry is so much more personal than asking your guests outright for cash! Guests will choose something special that they would like to give you as a wedding gift. Unlike getting envelopes with checks in them at the wedding and leaving the next day for your honeymoon trip, a honeymoon gift registry allows you to know ahead of time what you will have available for extras and upgrades on your honeymoon or destination wedding. You can register to get the word out early, and have gift money to help with the initial costs of the honeymoon trip as many of our wedding couples do.

When will we receive gift funds from this honeymoon registry?

Receiving all the wonderful gift funds your friends and family purchase for you is simple. Your gift funds will be sent DIRECT TO YOU via bank to bank transfer or you may choose to receive a check in the mail. Choose to have gift funds:

Sent straight to your US bank account with our free unlimited ACH bank to bank direct deposit. This is the most efficient and secure method. Funds will be available 1-2 business days after we process the payment.

OR

Have a check mailed to you via regular US postal service (We do not track check payments and can not be responsible for lost mail - a great reason to "Go Green" and use the bank to bank transfer service.)

Gifts may be collected at any time, as many times as you'd like. Gift funds, not requested, will automatically be sent 5 days before your honeymoon. Additional payments will be processed one business day after your honeymoon date. If you are an international couple your gift funds will be sent to you via a US dollar check or Paypal if you have a Paypal account.

How much does it cost to use the wedding registry and wedding website?

We charge a small service & handling fee to maintain a professional full service registry for you, your friends and family. This service & handling fee provides an ad free registry experience, wedding website and social networking tools, with the highest level of security, encryption and insurance. Our team is here to answer calls toll free, process checks and credit card transactions of your guests.

You may choose to have the service & handling fee added or deducted from each gift amount. Adding it to the transaction means that the purchaser will be charged a 9.65% service & handling fee at check-out. Deducting the service & handling fee will have the gift amount transfer at 7% less than the listed amount to you, with the gift purchaser paying a reduced service fee of 2.65%. If the fee is added to the gift, purchasers can receive a 2.65% discount if they choose to mail a check directly bringing the total service fee to 7%.

Guests from around the world can make a contribution towards your honeymoon with ease which means no shipping or carrying gifts with them to your wedding destination. Please feel free to call us with any questions.

What does the service & handling fee cover?

Service Fee BreakdownThe service charge covers your account management, unlimited fund transfers, coordination with partner resorts, cruise lines, and tour providers; your wedding web site, order processing, gift announcements, email wizard, merchant account fees (that we are charged) and toll free live customer service to assist your guests. We ensure that your guest's transactions are processed at the highest rate of secure SSL encryption, and protected by a $3,000,000.00 insurance policy against identity theft and fraud.

This is not simply a fee for processing monies; it's a fee so that we can continue to provide outstanding services for you. To run this registry company, we have a dedicated team, providing a high quality and professional service.

Store registries carry costs such as shipping, taxes and gift-wrap charges to cover the services. The service fee this registry charges is often less than these charges imposed on your guests. The honeymoon registry saves your guests time and gas with the comfort and convenience of purchasing their gift from their home or office. And, there is no hassle or embarrassment of returning or exchanging unwanted gifts for you!

Do you book the activities on My Wedding honeymoon registry for me?

You have the freedom to choose whatever supplier for any gift you receive as we are not booking the item for you just because it is listed on your gift registry. We always suggest asking your travel professional to help you with reservations for your honeymoon vacation or destination wedding. If your supplier requires you to book in a certain manner, you will find those terms under "Note to Couple" as you build your registry as well as receiving an email notification once the item is purchased for you with booking instructions.

How will I know how much to ask for?

When you set up your My Wedding honeymoon registry, we give you a suggested gift amount for each tour or activity per person in that area. However, you are free to ask for whatever you would like. We recommend using varied denominations to accommodate all guests and checking with your travel professional or supplier for exact pricing. All prices vary by location, availability, and are subject to change without notice. You can break down the amounts any way you choose. For example, if an item is going to cost you $200.00, you may ask for "2 gifts of $100.00" or "4 gifts of $50.00," etc.

For Registries with items that are being booked for you or sent directly to you or your hotel, you will find the amount will be preset for you in differing increments.
