beach_wedding.jpgWe all dream about that perfect honeymoon vacation to Hawaii or Europe (or wherever), but with that perfect vacation comes a not-so-perfect price tag. Traveling is expensive - and that’s an understatement. However, travel websites everywhere are recognizing the needs of the modern couple. Many brides and grooms live together long before they officially tie the knot, and couples today are much older than couples were ten or twenty years ago. So, many times the bride and groom don’t need pots and pans from their guests - they need cash to pay for that romantic post-wedding getaway!

That’s where honeymoon registries come into play. Like a traditional bridal registry, guests can log on and contribute to buying the couples gifts. However, instead of household items, guests will instead be buying things like breakfast in bed or scuba diving lessons!

At sites like The Big Day, you and your husband-to-be can choose from one of many basic honeymoon packages. Then, create “gifts” that your guests can purchase. They might want to contribute $50 toward your flight, for example, or $100 toward your hotel room.

The Big Day is a great honeymoon registry site to use because there are no service charges if you book your $2,000+ honeymoon with them. However, if you later decide that you’d rather book somewhere else, you can also get the money sent to you. Be aware, that the company has fees associated with this option. At other Websites, you may have a little more freedom with booking elsewhere, but you may also experience high set-up fees to start your account in the first place.

A honeymoon registry is a great gift option for couples who don’t need another toaster or more bedding supplies. It gives you and your sweetheart the chance to go on a great honeymoon guilt-free and without tons of credit card bills when you get home. Check out this option today for your wedding!
