Towards the end of last year, we had an excellent question sent to us on Twitter from a bride who was very interested in setting up a honeymoon gift list with us, but who wanted to know how guests felt about the idea. We set up Buy Our Honeymoon for our own wedding because we’d [...]
Etiquette and happy gifts
10 October 2011 – 5:25 pm
Last week, we came across a story on the Etiquette Hell blog, of traditional wedding presents, passive-aggressive giving, and bad manners on Facebook. The story, and the comments that follow it, reminded us of some of the reasons we created Buy Our Honeymoon, and the differences between services like ours, traditional gift registries, and simple [...]
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.

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.

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.

8 October 2010 – 12:44 pm
We love to be able to make improvements to our wedding list service in response to customer suggestions.

Perfect Wedding Hot Topic
11 August 2010 – 10:06 am
The September 2010 issue of Perfect Wedding magazine has just hit the shelves, featuring Shelley’s expert opinion on the hot topic of whether it’s OK to ask your guests for money instead of a gift. We were really honoured to be asked to contribute — and it was great to see that our debate opponent [...]
Faster notifications
28 May 2010 – 9:42 pm
We’ve made a small change to the way we send out notification emails for gifts reserved on your honeymoon registry. Since last September, we’ve delayed sending these emails for an hour, so that guests have an opportunity to cancel any gifts that had been reserved by mistake. This has proved to be a very useful [...]
