What do you think of the idea of a honeymoon registry?

I think a honeymoon registry is alright if the guests are purchasing specific items for your honeymoon. My friend did this, and they had a website set up where they could purchase things like, scuba diving lessons, champagne and strawberries for two, etc. It was very cute the way it was set up. You didn't feel like it was just fishing for money the way some honeymoon registries are set up, so be careful which one you choose. Don't pick one where the guest just enters a dollar amount, and thats all. Make them feel like they are really purchasing something special for you. Always write a thank you note, and when you do, mention what was purchased on the honeymoon registry. Say, "we had such a great time learning to scuba dive. Thanks so much, Uncle John." You get the idea. Also, I would suggest a "regular" registry as well. You may not need many items, but I would still suggest putting a few household items on a traditional registry. That way, older guests can still feel included. Some don't get the concept of a honeymoon registry, or they may just want to buy you something more traditional. So at least leave the option open for guests who do want to do that. Overall, its a very modern idea thats becoming more common. And, yes, it is rude to ask for money from guests. You should never expect it. But registries are not rude, because guests chose to buy or not to buy and what to buy or not buy. It just gives them an idea of what you want or need. There is a huge difference between a honeymoon registry asking for $50 or $100 from guests, and a honeymoon registry which allows guests to give specific things for you two. Also, make sure that the items are varying in price, same as with a regular registry. Good luck!
