Why should we use this Beaches Resorts wedding and gift registry?
Using the honeymoon gift registry allows you to pre-plan what you want to do on your Beaches honeymoon or at your destination wedding. With the wedding and gift registry, your wedding guests are actually giving you an activity or portion of your honeymoon! Using this registry is so much more personal than asking your guests outright for cash! Guests will choose something special that they would like to give you as a wedding gift. Unlike getting envelopes with checks in them at the wedding and leaving the next day for your honeymoon trip, the wedding and gift registry allows you to know ahead of time what you will have available for extras and upgrades on your honeymoon or destination wedding. You can even register to get the word out early, and have gift money to come in to help with the initial costs of the honeymoon trip, as many of our wedding couples do.Back to Top
