The HoneyLuna Honeymoon Registry Story
HoneyLuna's Unique Online Honeymoon Bridal Registry Provides the Perfect Wedding Gift
When Alexa and Don Mercer got married, they didn't bother registering with the traditional registries.
"We'd lived together for two years and had already bought the housekeeping stuff we needed," explains Alexa.
Instead, the Mercers registered with HoneyLuna, the Honeymoon Registry Service, and became part of a growing trend of couples seeking non-traditional wedding gifts. Nearly 80 percent of the guests at the Mercers' wedding gave gifts from the couple's honeymoon itinerary by selecting gifts from the couple's HoneyLuna honeymoon registry.
"Parts of our honeymoon included staying at a fifteenth century farmhouse outside Avignon, France, and having a biking picnic through the French countryside with castles tours along the way," says Alexa.
Every year, HoneyLuna enjoys a marked increase in clients as more couples are discovering HoneyLuna and learning about the option of honeymoon registry. Today, honeymoon registries are an acceptable bridal registry according to the Emily Post Institute of Etiquette.
Couples working with HoneyLuna create a honeymoon "wish list" of the items and activities they would like to experience for on their honeymoon. Their list may include a romantic sunset dinner cruise, a helicopter tour, a private dinner on the beach, zip line tours and more!
Guests contact HoneyLuna -via the Internet or a toll-free number - to purchase items from the registry. Gift acknowledgements inform couples of the gift purchases.
Since inception, HoneyLuna has created honeymoon registries for couples desiring traditional as well as exotic itineraries. In addition to the popular destinations of Europe, Hawaii, the Caribbean and Tahiti, HoneyLuna has seen honeymoon registries for safaris in Africa, trekking in Thailand, and even a honeymoon registry for a 10-month, around-the-world honeymoon. Couples typically find that 50 to 70 percent of their honeymoon is paid for if they register exclusively with HoneyLuna.
