Honeymoon Registry: A Wedding Do or Don’t?
Microwaves, toaster ovens, bath towels, oh my! If you’re the type of couple that has just about everything you need, a honeymoon registry could be a great alternative to the traditional gifts given at a shower. The honeymoon registry allows you to have your guests donate to a fund that helps you pay for your honeymoon. Instead of a microwave, you get to go scuba diving, or replace the cotton linens with a romantic dinner; it’s really that simple.
How It Works
Step1: Sign up.
Step 2: Add “items” or activities you’d like to do on your honeymoon to your registry. These can be things like concerts, excursions, tours, etc.
Step 3: Send the word out in your invitations to your shower, e-mails to your wedding guests, or announcement cards.
Step 4: Watch and see what your guests send your way.
So, what do you think? Too tacky? Too brazen? The perfect wedding gift? Is the honeymoon registry a bridal do or a bridal don’t?

Dress It Up
Playing dress up is one of the best things about being a little girl. Let your child imagine their own wedding by using your old dress as a costume piece. Keep it as is, add silk flowers, jewels, or dye it to make it a gown fit for a princess. Your little girl can indulge her imagination in your cherished bridal gown.
Baptismal/Christening Gowns
Use the silk or satin fabric on your wedding gown to create beautiful baptismal and christening gowns for your children. Tie in the love that started it all on their special day.
Bridal Bedding
Your wedding dress holds a lot of post-day potential. Use the fabrics from your wedding gown to create stunning pillows, quilts, and duvet covers for your guest room or master bedroom. These pieces will not only be gorgeous, they’ll also remind you of the love that built your home.
Marriage Memories
Bind your wedding album in fabric from your wedding and bridesmaid’s dresses. This personalized touch to your photos captures the essence of your wedding day in a way that is truly one of a kind.
Thoughtful Touches
Create lavender or rose petal sachets for your drawers and closet out of the fabric from your wedding gown, or stitch and embroider pieces of your wedding dress to make heartfelt hankies, coin purses, doll clothing or small evening bags. Just use your imagination!
