Why a Honeymoon Gift Registry is a great idea...

Back in the day, when I was 16, I worked for Royal Doulton in Debenhams. Now I know what you are thinking: what would a 16‑year‑old know about Crown Derby and fine China? The answer: not a lot! But I learned, and I loved my years working there throughout college life.

Quite often we would have customers come in clutching a wedding list for friends or family who were getting married. They had created a wish list of things they wanted people to buy for them: cutlery sets, bedding, dinner services, glassware… all the bits to set them up for life as Mr & Mrs.

Times have changed. For many couples, all of that is no longer as important, and, if we are honest, it is not exactly exciting unwrapping your third set of plates.

So what has 16‑year‑old me in Debenhams got to do with travel today?

Fast forward 30 years and I now plan honeymoons. (I am younger than 46, promise!) One of the brilliant things I can offer is a Honeymoon Gift Registry.

Just like the old wedding list, your friends and family can still contribute to your new life together, but now it is towards something much more exciting: your honeymoon.

No more stressing about what to buy you, whether vouchers or cash feel too impersonal or if anyone really wants another dinner set. Instead, they can help pay for memories:

An upgrade to a premium cabin on your flights

A room with a private pool or incredible views

A once‑in‑a‑lifetime destination you have always dreamed of

Special touches like romantic dinners, spa treatments or excursions

I create your perfect honeymoon, then I set up a personalised link that you can share with your guests so they can see the amazing trip you are taking together and choose what they would like to contribute.

Starting married life can be expensive and costs soon add up. The last thing you want to do is compromise on what should be the most memorable holiday you will ever go on. I always tell my honeymooners: choose something you would never normally do or repeat. This is a one‑off, a unique trip you will talk about for years.

If you are getting married in the next few years and like the sound of a Honeymoon Gift Registry, drop me a message or give me a call and I will talk you through how it works.
