Ok, so I have no idea how to go about this.
We have been together for over 4 years, will be 5 when our Big day rolls around. We are established in our house, and have evrything we need.
We have two boys, one his and one mine.
Instead of registering, we want to recieve money for our "Family Honey Moon".
We have decided since we are finally becoming a family, that we would like to take a trip together, the four of us, to Disney Land.
My question is....
How do you tell your guests you wish to recieve money for this as apposed to gifts. i think most would be fine if they knew it was a trip we are planning to do and celebrate with all four of us.
Im welcome to any ideas....

Hi,

I think a good solution would be to register only with a travel agent or some booking place for a Disney vacation. I know people that did this to pay for their honeymoon and the money gets placed into an account... hope this helps.

Yeah,
That is a good idea.. thanks.
The only problem I can see with that is we arent planning on taking the trip untill the following year to year and half later... so we can asure we have the funds..after a huge wedding we are paying for mostly ourselves.
Not sure if it would work then.
Thanks for the suggestion!!!!!
SOmething to definately look into.

I am going to send out information cards as well as set up a wedding website. On there, I am putting that since we have established our lives, together, we are requesting monetary donations to buy a house. Let the guest know that you want the money for a honeymoon, and I think they would be more than happy to pitch in.

I would.

We are opening a Honeymoon Registry at Brisatrips com
It works just like a Bridal Registry but instead of receiving gifts for your house, your family and friends help you pay for the Honeymoon, you can receive your gifts anytime.Your guests give you portions of your honeymoon. And also you can post photos on your online photo album. They can help you pay portions or total value of things like airfare,room stay, dinners, and all kinds of stuff.
We have a small bridal Registry because we really want to travel so we kind of push people more towards paying for the Honeymoon than anything else!
Make sure you click where it says ""Extras"" cause I got lost the first time I was told about the site.
Good luck

Us too....
No items please...only money.

While it's very understandable to want money in lieu of gifts, it's very tacky to outright ask for it. Having a Honeymoon registry is an excellent way to go about it or you can have close family and friends spread the word that you would prefer money (this way you don't have to mention it yourselves to more extended family or friends). I've found that anything I tell my MIL-to-be or grandparents is spread very quickly through the family.
