If you and your partner value experiences over things, a traditional wedding registry might not be for you. Instead, consider a honeymoon fund—a unique way for guests to contribute to your first big trip together as newlyweds. But like any wedding registry wording, you'll need the right honeymoon fund wording to inform your guests of your wishes.
Here, we've included lots of sample wording for a honeymoon fund—because we totally get that asking for money for a wedding gift can feel a little unnatural. Whether you'll be including a short mention on your wedding invitation or adding a blurb to your wedding website, we'll show you how to word a honeymoon fund.
And remember—a honeymoon fund can be used alongside a traditional registry (The Knot Registry Store is the place to get that done) or on its own—it's your choice! We recommend registering for your honeymoon at Traveler's Joy, one of the best honeymoon registries. Link it to The Knot Registry to make it easier for guests to find.
