#1. Travel for two
Instead of asking your guests to contribute money, why not set up a honeymoon registry and crowdsource your dream holiday? Sites like Honeyfund are great, but essentially just ask your guests to make a bank transfer. However, the new generation of honeymoon registries, like My Wedding Registry, Our Honeymoon Registry, Hitchd, and Travel Registry, are all about experiential gifts – so your guests can contribute toward specific, itemised experiences, such as zip-lining in Costa Rica or private skiing lessons in Val-d’Isère.
