Include Travel in Your Wedding Registry

A zipline excursion in Costa Rica, snorkeling trip in Maui, romantic dinner on the beach in St. Lucia--you registered for what? While at one time, registering for such items wasn’t even an option, the recent rise of honeymoon registries has made it possible for your guests to expand beyond the traditional wedding gifts of housewares.

New wedding registry options like Traveler’s Joy, a popular online registry service, are a great way for couples to expand beyond the traditional gravy boat and toasters given to most wedding couples. The Internet is providing exciting new options for wedding gift registries, an industry that hadn’t changed much in the decades prior to the boom of e-commerce. The Internet has not only fueled growth in traditional registry options like housewares, but has created a new market of registries including those for honeymoons.

Benefits to registering for your honeymoon:

While items wear out, your memories of a dream honeymoon never will
