Benefits of a HONEYMOONFUNDTM cash gift registry:

Ensuring the user experience for both the couple and the guests are respectful and simple during the cash gifting process. We donate to charity whenever a couple receives a gift payment, we donate 50c (of our money) to ChildFund Australia. The more gifts that couples receive, the more we donate!. We give couples the option to donate from their fund if they wish. Traditional envelope giving. By having a cash gift registry on-line, does not have to eliminate the “envelope giving" gesture at the reception. If couples prefer to have a “bird cage”, “red box” or “wishing well”. We provide guests with a beautiful Voucher receipt which they can place into an envelope and take to the reception.We have the most features available for couples, to manage and track gift transactions, guest messages and charity contributions, both on PC and our up and coming iPhone application.We enable you to spend your money in your own time. Whilst traditional registries require you to choose hundreds of items before the wedding, HONEYMOONFUNDTM enables you to spend whenever you like (before or after the wedding) and at a less busy time so you have more time to choose "what you really want".No "virtual" items. Creating virtual items are time consuming and are usually just guesses. These types of lists make couples feel obligated and guilty if they don't end up following through with the activity. We believe that your friends and family need to know how they can contribute to your overall wishes. Offering your guests a general idea of your wishes and what you really want and why is much more meaningful than holding you to a list of "virtual" items.

assisting to raise money for ChildFund. We donate 50c (of our money) everytime
a couple receives a gift payment so the more gifts that our couple recieves, the more we donate. You can easily track the total charity amount raised once you login to your account. You can also "top up" donations by redeeming some of your fund for extra donations to ChildFund Australia.

Your registry can remain active for up to 24 months from the day of sign up but only remain open for a maximum of 60 days after your wedding day (this is for fraud prevention).
If there are any unredeemed funds left in your account after 60 days from your wedding day, we will transfer the balance to your account automatically and charge an admin fee. We encourage all funds to be redeemed prior to 60 days after the wedding day. You can contact us if you have any individual circumstances that requires special consideration.
14) Do I need to set up a list of "virtual" items or activities to show guests where the money will be spent?
NO, unlike other bridal registries and online wishing wells we don't require you to spend valuable time creating long lists of "virtual" items that you may not know the prices of or may not end up doing because circumstances change. Creating virtual items are time consuming and are only guesses. These types of lists make couples feel guilty if they don't end up following through with the activity. We do believe that your friends and family need to know how they can contribute to your overall wishes. Offering your guests a general idea of your wishes and what you really want and why is much more meaningful than
holding you to a list of "virtual" items.
We provide unlimited space on your registry page for you to describe your wishes and gratitude. Some examples of this are:
"We are going to Hawaii for 2 weeks to enjoy our first weeks as a married couple. Your gift money would help us to realise again just how beautiful our relationship has become"
"We are saving up to pay for our home extensions. Your generous gift will help us to make room for our new baby"
"We are planning to go to Canada to visit Amanda's parents as it's been over 5 years. They are old and cannot make it to the wedding, so we will be surprising them!"
NO we are not owned by a travel or finance company therefore your funds are not tied to any travel or finance arrangement. You are free to create your honeymoon registry or wedding fund and withdraw your money to use for what ever you like and where ever you like.
We are a bridal registry service only, we assist couples to communicate a "preference" for cash gifts and provide an online payment and management facility.
From time to time we may have associations, referral programs or member exclusive offers with third parties such as travel agents, finance companies, hotels and other wedding suppliers to provide our clients with optional benefits such as discounts, offers or specials with third party companies.
YES, many couples are setting up their account before the engagement party to start collecting gifts during the engagement. You can use the SAME account as your Engagement Registry and Bridal Registry. All gift funds will be collected for you up until your wedding day.
