Most couples want the honeymoon as a wedding gift.
Honeymoon vouchers are one way to let the wedding guests finance the couple's dream holiday. But in the internet age travel vouchers are no longer the first choice.
Honeymoon vouchers are counted towards the total price of a booked honeymoon. So they cover airfare and hotel, but not the pocket expenses at the resort.
In addition, a honeymoon voucher is usually an unspecific amount of money. For family and friends there is no way to pick out individual gifts, which they want to give the wedding couple.
More personal than honeymoon vouchers is the bridal registry. Instead of wishing vouchers for the honeymoon, wedding couples create a list with individual desires for their honeymoon. In addition to the flight and hotel the wish list on the Internet includes for example a romantic sailing trip or a great meal with sea view. Unlike honeymoon vouchers the bridal registry offers wedding guests the opportunity to select a very specific desire of the couple's and to give it to the wedding, instead of just buying honeymoon vouchers.
Unlike the honeymoon vouchers the bridal registry is not bound by pre-bookable services. In this way the wedding couples can decide spontaneously how to design their honeymoon in detail. When a scuba diving course was planned, but the bride prefers to go snorkeling, honeywish offers a high degree of local flexibility in comparison to honeymoon vouchers.
