| It is a good idea in theory, but I pormise you the company that handles this is a total rip off, they take a cut of everything that gets purchased. I got the "Scuba Lessons" for my cousin for her wedding, then when you check out they ask if you want to pay the additional charge so the bride and groom dont have to. Of course I did, but what a scam. Also my cousin told me you are not actually buying what you thnk you are, they just take the value of everything purchased and give you a gift card for the full amount to do what you want with. So even though I bought her 6 scuba lessons for $50 each (plus the additional $30 for their charge) she doesnt really go scuba diving, just gets the $150. If I knew that I would have rather just given her a gift card for $180 instead of paying their ridiculous fees. |

| I don't like it and I would never have one. I also haven't heard anything good about it from a guest's standpoint. They have to pay extra on top of anything they donate. If you can't afford your honeymoon, either scale back to something you can afford or else save up for that trip for your first anniversary when you do have the money. |

| I am on the fence about it. I know a couple of people that have done it...I don't necessarily think of them as greedy people. Let's face it, after planning a wedding, there is very little left over for a honeymoon. |

| I wouldn't do it for myself, and I wouldn't give money to friends who did that either.Personally, I think that if you can't afford it, you just don't do it. |

| I agree with Nova on this one. We wouldn't have done it as a couple, and we surely wouldn't use it as guests.The couple should be looking after the costs of the wedding and honeymoon, not asking their guests to do so for them. |

| I think it is unnecessary. If I want to give you cash, I will write you a check.When you do that, it looks like you can't afford to go on a honeymoon (even if you can) and that you are waiting for people to pick up the tab. That's why many people are against them. They want their money to be used in a good way...not towards something that isn't even necessary to get married or set up house.What's next? Registering for the cost of the wedding? |

| Not a good idea at all. Who came up with this idea? Obviously the travel and bridal industry. Read "snarfs" comments. She is one who actually used a honeymoon registry for a gift and you can see how it all turned out. The couple should pay for their own honeymoon. If they cannot afford one, then don't take one. |
