REGISTRY HONEYMOON ETIQUETTE
Do you think Honeymoon Registries are proper?
What makes them different from other registries?
I am asking because I just purchased the new “Emily Posts Wedding Etiquette” book and it lists Honeymoon Registry as a registry option.
I would like to know how the general (Yahoo Answers) public feel about a Honeymoon Registry. If a couple offered this as one of their registries, would you be inclined to purchase something off of it, or would you find it offensive?
Thanks!
I’m not really familiar with how Honeymoon Registry’s work but I don’t see why that would be considered wrong – the guests choose what they get you no matter what registry they use. It’s not like they’re required to get you a separate gift from the Wedding registry AND the Honeymoon Registry, right? For instance they can choose between a gift from Bed Bath and Beyond OR from a certain travel site/agency. Am I correct about how this works?
Either way, I’ve always considered cash the very best gift for newlyweds. I know it can be considered rude when the couple asks for it, but in my experience, couples seem to be most grateful when a guest simply leaves a card with cash or a check inside. In many cultures cash/check is the most appropriate gift for a couple.
