Why Travel Should Be Your Wedding Registry Star
Traditional wedding registries often revolve around toasters and blenders – lovely gifts, but perhaps not the most exciting way to kick off married life. Also, not also the most practical of gifts for couples that have been together for a significant period of time and already have a stack of appliances that they never seem to use and just gather dust. A much more practical Wedding registry type in this “Day & Age” is a travel registry. One that will allow the happy couple the opportunity to have a dream honeymoon, or plan that “Once in a Life time Adventure” that they have been dreaming of together.
Why Choose Travel?
• Experiences over Things: Travel creates lasting memories. Instead of accumulating more "stuff," you and your partner can invest in unforgettable experiences like a romantic getaway to Paris, a thrilling safari in Africa, or a relaxing beach vacation in the Caribbean.
• Shared Adventures: Travel fosters connection. It allows you to explore new cultures, discover hidden gems, and create lifelong memories together, strengthening your bond as a newlywed couple.
• Flexibility and Customization: Travel registries offer incredible flexibility. Guests can contribute any amount, allowing you to save towards that once-in-a-lifetime adventure. You can even set up different "funds" for various travel goals, giving guests a variety of options.
• Unique and Memorable Gifts: A contribution towards your dream honeymoon is a truly unique and thoughtful gift. It shows your guests that you value experiences and are excited to embark on this new chapter of your lives together.
How to Set Up a Travel Registry:

Tips for Success:
• Set Realistic Goals: Hopefully you know your guests well enough to make it possible to set a realistic goal. Remember, with a registry, people that can not attend the wedding might be able to contribute too.
• Keep Your Guests Updated: If you are going to use it towards your honeymoon, sharing this information helps encourage people to participate. If not, let them know a bit about how you want to use it at a later date – and be sure to keep them in the loop when you do.
• Express Your Gratitude: As I am able to provide you a report on what has been contributed, remember to Send personalized thank-you notes to each guest who contributes to your travel registry.
By choosing travel as your wedding registry focus, you're inviting your loved ones to share in the adventure of your new life together. It's a truly unique and rewarding way to begin your married journey, filled with excitement, anticipation, and the promise of incredible memories to come.
