We went the traditional way with the whole bridal shower and all!

Our guests knew we were focused on our honeymoon so most guests contributed and basically paid for our WHOLE honeymoon (10 days in Maui). I highly recommend focusing your registry on the most important area for you, even if your honeymoon is belated, you can still have it completely paid for! <br /><br />We had many guests (about 90%) look at the registry, then give us cash/check at our wedding and said in their card what they were gifting it for.<br /><br />I think the "Deposit a Gift" site is really great, the only thing I would say is to try and break things down into smaller gifts like how the honeymoon one you have - where guests can purchase a night for you both in a B&B. The more activities that are broken out, the better, because guests feel like they purchased something for you (like honeymoon art, a romantic dinner, bike ride, rental car, day trip to "---" etc). When we came back from our honeymoon, we sent pictures to our guests of us doing the activities they purchased for us. It really made it come full circle for them.<br /><br />Our unusual registry item? A bike ride down a volcano in Maui! Gifted to us by one of our guests!Mrs Gatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00100068708981875884noreply@blogger.com
