You may want to talk to your travel agent and do a Honeymoon Registry. This allows you to take that trip of your dreams and affords an opportunity for your friends and relatives to contribute to your dream vacation through Honeymoon Gift Certificates. Just as a Bridal Registry, proper etiquette dictates that your bridesmaids, mothers and relatives spread the word about your wishes.
Your travel agency would help you develop your travel package to match your budget and will handle the coordination of travel gifts. The gift amount may be paid directly to the agency and credited to your honeymoon account, or a gift certificate may be purchased and presented directly to the bridal couple.
If you would like more information about a Honeymoon Registry, consult with a travel agency today. Dreaming is fun, but last minute decisions may cause disappointment. Careful planning, as early as possible will assure your reservation in the right place at the right price and time.
