Honeyfund

View quoted message Exactly! It helps guests know what they’re contributing to and they tend to respond better to it knowing where that money is going. It’s fun for them to pay towards certain things and knowing that they made that happen for you. I love it!

View quoted message Exactly! We are using Honeyfund but we are also letting our guests know that if they do not wish to do it online, they are welcome to give us cash, but the Honeyfund is there to let them know exactly what our honeymoon will entail - For us, we’re going to Disney World so we’ve included what the price for accommodations will look like, our flights, park tickets, photo pass, etc.

There is no fee for guests but there is a 2.8% processing fee. They only offer the cash option for Canadian users through WePay or PayPal. They do not have the gift card option for Canadian users.

Love that idea. I've never heard of this.

View quoted message So it sounds like I had better stick with the usual method. 😊

It is legit, but like all of the honeymoon or cash registries, they do charge a fee. So either the fee will be charged to your guests (so like a credit card transaction fee kind of thing) so it will be onto of what the guests want to give you. The ones I've researched so far, seem to be around 7%-10%. Which seems just like a lot of money to take for no reason. Don't get me wrong though, I love the concept of this and think its such a nice way to present your honeymoon to your guests!

Also just a note, I only did light research on these registries so maybe I missed a point with the fees but it seemed pretty transparent that they do require money for what they do!

View quoted message No not really. I was really just trying to think of a polite way to ask for money as opposed to gifts and it popped up.

I’ve heard they charge your guests to give to money, seems like an unneeded thing to use. If you don’t put registry information on your invite people will usually gift cash. It is just a way for a middle man to make money off your wedding in a way. Is there a reason you want to use it over cash gifts?

View quoted message Oh that's good to know. Thanks

Haven’t used it but I know it was on shark tank and one of the sharks put money into it so I feel like it’s legit.

I haven't heard of it, but it looks credible. It's been around for a while too.
