We’re sometimes asked whether it’s possible to use our honeymoon gift list service if you haven’t worked out a detailed honeymoon itinerary — or even if you’re not yet sure of where you’d like to go.

We’ve recently implemented a handful of improvements and upgrades to our honeymoon gift list service that we’d like to tell you about. Firstly, we’ve overhauled our password security. Your account passwords are now stored using a very strong cryptographic technique called bcrypt. The advantage of this is that even if someone were to gain unauthorised […]

5 July 2012 – 4:42 pm
The ever-fabulous Love My Dress blog posted an excellent discussion piece earlier this week, asking whether it’s acceptable to ask for money as a wedding gift.
