hat do you do for your wedding gift list if you don’t need a new set of spoons or bath towels? Perhaps you’d prefer to swap traditional household gifts for the honeymoon of your dreams!

With a honeymoon gift list, instead of bed sheets, you might have the first night of your hotel stay; instead of a toaster, you might have a romantic breakfast watching the sun rise over the ocean.

Here’s how Buy Our Honeymoon works. First, sign up for a free, no-obligation 7-day trial. Choose one of our beautiful, smartphone- and tablet-compatible design

themes, and personalise your pages with your own photos and a description of your honeymoon plans.

Then, start compiling your list of excursions, adventures, meals, accommodation and travel

expenses. You don’t need to have your honeymoon itinerary fully planned-out, or even know where you’re headed.

You can go into as much or as little detail as you want — we’ve got loads of sample gift lists to give you ideas, and we’re more than happy to help with any queries you might have. You can include absolutely anything you can think of, and even mix gifts for your honeymoon with gifts for your home.

The most popular gifts are probably contributions towards travel and accommodation — perhaps 100 miles of your

flight over the ocean, or the first night of your hotel stay. But many of our couples really get creative with their list — to tell the story of their honeymoon: where they’re headed, why it’s important to them, what they most hope to remember from the experience. There’s no limits to what you can include!

And we don’t take any commission out of the gifts you receive. The value of your gifts is always paid directly to you, in whatever way suits you best.

There are three main options. If you and the majority of your guests are based in the UK, the best way is to take advantage of our unique Direct Debit payments option. We’re the first wedding gift list service in the world to enable guests to pay for their gifts immediately online, with a one-off Direct Debit. It’s super-easy for you to set up, convenient for your guests to use, and totally secure for everyone.

You can also link your gift list to a PayPal account, so guests are able to simply pay online using a credit or debit card. Some couples choose instead to receive cash or cheques on the day of their wedding, and others leave details on making a balance transfer to their bank account.

Buy Our Honeymoon helps coordinate and manage your gift money, but we don’t collect your gifts on your behalf. This means your gifts are completely safe, and yours from the moment they’re given.

And if you get stuck, we’re here to help. We’ll provide you with 70 customised notification cards your guests can use to go straight to your list, which include a telephone number that guests can use to call us with any queries they might have. If you have guests who don’t have access to the Internet, we’ll be happy to send them a printed copy of the list and to place a reservation on their behalf.
