We’re really thrilled to be exhibiting again at this year’s National Wedding Show at Earls Court! It’s been a couple of years since the last time we had a stand at the show — and ever since then, we’ve been looking forward to coming back! The London show’s on this coming weekend — Friday 30 […]
Our new design is live!
13 September 2011 – 5:28 pm
We’re hugely excited to finally unveil our new design for buy-our-honeymoon.com! We’ve been working on this for quite a while, and we’re really pleased with how it’s turned out. Take a look here! It’s been more than 4 years since we first launched our honeymoon registry service — an eternity in internet time! Since then, […]
Making the site faster
13 July 2011 – 5:10 pm
If there’s one thing we don’t like to do here at Buy Our Honeymoon, it’s sit still. We’re always making small changes and improvements to the site, even if it’s just to the systems we use internally to help us with customer or guest enquiries. Sometimes, we add a larger feature you can use when […]
Unusual and wonderful registry gifts
22 June 2011 – 1:08 pm
Earlier this month, a CNN article on honeymoon registries recommended that couples using a service such as ours should “avoid extensive itemization” — wow did that get us thinking, because we couldn’t disagree more! We think it’s important to break your gifts down into “guest-sized chunks”. We find that guests engage with detailed, varied registries […]
Improvements to bank transfer registries
17 May 2011 – 8:10 pm
With Buy Our Honeymoon, you can link your honeymoon registry to your PayPal account, so that your guests can make immediate payment for their gifts using their credit or debit card. And although the majority of our customers do precisely this, some couples choose instead to receive cash or cheques on the day of their […]
Happy Birthday to buy‑our‑honeymoon.com!
5 April 2011 – 1:14 pm
Back at the beginning of April 2007, we flipped the switch and made buy-our-honeymoon.com live to the world. We couldn’t be more happy to be celebrating our fourth birthday. Cake and goody bags for all! This last year has seen a massive 20% increase on the number of couples signing up to use our service […]
Use Swedish on your multilingual wedding gift list
10 March 2011 – 12:10 pm
Towards the end of last year, we launched a new feature where you can display your honeymoon gift list in more than one language. This is brilliant for couples with international family and friends: your wedding guests can view, reserve and pay for items on your registry wherever they live, and our service supports multiple […]

17 January 2011 – 4:06 pm
We’re completely thrilled to announce that Buy Our Honeymoon was one of only five nominees for Best Wedding Gift List in the Wedding Ideas Awards 2011! This is the second year running that we’ve been shortlisted, and we’re enormously grateful to all our customers from 2010 who were kind enough to support us with their […]
4 recent small improvements
9 December 2010 – 12:13 pm
Here at Buy Our Honeymoon, we’re constantly making small adjustments and improvements to our service, to try to provide the best wedding list service we possibly can. Some of these — such as our recent multilingual registry feature — deserve a full blog post all of their own. Others are smaller, incremental improvements and changes, […]
Hiding your registry from Google
26 November 2010 – 12:24 pm
As part of our honeymoon wedding list service, we try to make sure that the introductory page of your registry can be found in Google, Yahoo and Bing. This is because many wedding guests expect to be able to get to a couple’s wedding list by entering its web address into their favourite search engine. […]
