Katie - Sending any sort of wedding registry information, including honeymoon registry details, to guests is considered tacky, as if it was an admission fee for the wedding, even if you don't have it in the invitation. I'd suggest you set up a Wedding Website where you can have background information on you and your fiance, directions to the event, perhaps information on your bridal party so guests will know who they are, and so forth, and you can include the registry information there in a discreet way. Best wishes!

We are doing a honeymoon registry but are having trouble coming up with how to get the info out. Most of the people coming are from different social groups and/or do not know our families. we thought about doing a post card with a poem on it about how the best gift is having them with us to share our day, but if they are inclined to get a gift, then a honeymoon is what we wish, each postcard would have the registry website on it as well, is this acceptiable or tacky? please help! lol

Laurie - If they have already booked the honeymoon, ideally they should be able to pay for it. A honeymoon themed shower is a great idea, however, to get them small things they'll be able to enjoy on the cruise, but it's in poor taste to ask guests to donate money without a specialized registry for this type of event. Contact the travel agent they've used for information on whether one can be set up.

Hi, My sister already booked and paid for her honeymoon. Her & her husband will be going on a cruise. They already booked there airfare, cruise and an excursion that they didnt want to miss. We are planning a honeymoon themed bridal shower. They have been living in there home for a year & a half already - so there is no need for the normal shower gifts. What they really need is money to pay for the honeymoon ... lol. I am not sure what to do.

The registry company may provide small cards to enclose in shower invitations, or you can put the website information in the invitation (include an access code or registration number if guests will need one to see the registry). If they are simply registered for gifts to use on the honeymoon -- snorkels for a cruise, for example -- you can mention the registry like any other gift registry. Please Note: While it is okay to put registry information in a shower invitation, it is generally considered poor etiquette to include registry information in the wedding invitation or wedding announcements.

I'm making the bridal shower invitations for my sister, and was wondering how do you add the honeymoon registry to the invite? Thanks!
