Paradise Cove offers a number of exceptional sites to hold your special ceremony in our luxurious outdoor wedding venues DFW. Our dedicated staff will assist you to assure the wedding of your dreams. After the wedding ceremony in our outdoor wedding venues DFW, every couple deserves a wonderful honeymoon. After all, the honeymoon can only occur once. In the following, we will discuss the Honeymoon Registry. The registry is a modern means for guests to offer something different from the standard china. While you may not remember who gave you a specific item, you will remember with distinction the person who paid for an exciting tour.

The honeymoon registry originated from couples who marry later in life. Living on their own for some years, the wedding registry presented the problem of these couples already having everything they needed. Couples who want a special honeymoon, but find the financing problematic, a honeymoon registry can assist them with the cost as well.

With a Honeymoon Registry, you build the gift list with the anticipated activities during the honeymoon. Guests contribute money towards the activities and experiences listed on your registry. For example, spa treatments for the two of you, tours, special meals, and scuba diving are some popular activities guests can fund.

However, not everyone is comfortable with gifting online. Some guests prefer to purchase from the traditional wedding registry in a walk-in shop. The answer is to provide both. If you are unable to provide a Wedding Registry, suggest guests donate to your favorite charity. Otherwise, try to list items you can use. For example, towels and linens can be stored until needed. Consider the future if you plan to have children, and request cookie cutters, cupcake totes, or baking sheets, you do not already have.

Like the Wedding Registry where asking for cash is unacceptable, the same rule applies for the Honeymoon Registry. Guests have the option of giving you cash, but you never request it. Instead, request experiences, and events for your honeymoon. Guests can choose whether to pay for it online or mail you a check for the requested gift. On some sites, guests also have the option of contributing toward the cost of an experience, without paying for the entire cost.

Selecting a Honeymoon Registry

There are literally thousands of choices for a honeymoon registry. To begin with, select one that is free to set up, and that will provide a free Wedding Website for your use. The wedding website is a good place to list your Wedding Registry, Honeymoon Registry, plans, photographs and directions to the outdoor wedding venues DFW. While the wedding invitation will also offer directions, you do not want to tell where to find your registries on the invitation, but you can list your Wedding Website “for more information.”

Honeymoon Wishes, allows your guests to give specific gifts, such as a tour, a massage or contribute funds towards your honeymoon. One reason Honeymoon Wishes is popular even though its fees are higher than other registry options, is due to its network of travel professionals, resorts, and cruise lines who participate with the site. Their participation allows guests to select a gift, which is paid for directly from your registry to the provider in your honeymoon destination.

Security

Select a secure site that is PCI compliant to assure the best possible security for your paying guests. Being PCI compliant means their security meets strict standards comparable to PayPal.

Selecting a Honeymoon Registry site will depend on what you want from it. Fees, International Options, Security, Style versatility, and public availability are factors to consider. In addition, do not wait until the last minute to post the registry. Ideally, you should post the Honeymoon Registry along with the Wedding Registry, a few months before, and no less than a month prior to the wedding in your chosen outdoor wedding venues DFW.

Paradise Cove is a private facility providing special events and outdoor weddings in Southlake, TX, located on the shores of Lake Grapevine. Its beautifully landscaped grounds with views of the sparkling lake offer a variety of ideal settings for your ceremony in our outdoor wedding venues in Dallas.

The wedding registry poses the problem of ensuring guests know where to find the registry list without being rude. One rule is steadfast, to never include it on your wedding invitation. To do so is a complete faux pas. However, what is acceptable is to list your wedding website on an insert providing other necessary information, and include it in the invitation.

The following are suggestions for ensuring guests know where to find your wedding registry.

1. Word of mouth is still the best way to inform guests of where to find your registry. Your best messengers are your parents, his parents, members of the wedding party, close friends, and family members.

2. An online registry offers the convenience of adding and deleting items at any time, and allows you to view the items guests have selected.

3. Some brides have personalized cards printed with the lucky couple’s name, driving directions to the ceremony, and the online wedding registry address, or a location such as a retail outlet. These can be given to invited guests in person if you will see them prior to the wedding. An alternative is to include an insert with the wedding invitation. Include driving directions, local hotel information for those arriving from out of town, weekend activities, and links to your wedding registry.

Tips for a Registry

1. Offer a wide range of gift types with varying price ranges, and include a larger number of lower and moderate cost items. Those who are on limited incomes will be able to buy what they can afford and you will receive items often overlooked that you can use.

2. Have the registry ready at least a month before your scheduled ceremony in our outdoor wedding venues in Dallas, the best advice is to have it complete when the invitations go out.

3. Do not list only high cost items, as not all guests can afford to be generous. Balance these with a greater number of moderately priced and low cost gift items. You can suggest that guests may go in together with high-cost items, or set up a fund for donations on an item, but it is not appropriate to request money. In addition, list items from walk in retail stores for those who prefer to shop in person, rather than online.

4. Requesting donations to your favorite charity are an acceptable alternative to listing gifts on a wedding registry, and is a charitable way to start a married life together.
