At the end of September, we launched a new feature to our wedding list service where you can provide your honeymoon registry in more than one language. This is great for couples with international families: not only can you list gifts in multiple currencies, you can also have your registry appear in English and up […]
Improving our homepage search
8 October 2010 – 12:44 pm
We love to be able to make improvements to our wedding list service in response to customer suggestions. We recently received an email from one of our customers in the US, who had an idea regarding the search facility on our homepage that lets your guests go directly to your registry by entering your surname […]
Display your honeymoon registry in more than one language
30 September 2010 – 10:10 am
Our honeymoon registry service is uniquely suited to helping couples with international families. Because your wedding list is available online, any of your guests with an internet connection can view, reserve and pay for items on your registry, wherever they live. You can include anything you can imagine on your wedding gift registry, and we […]
Alternatives to PayPal
22 July 2010 – 5:37 pm
With Buy Our Honeymoon, your guests pay the value of their gifts to you directly. We don’t collect payment from your guests, and we don’t charge a commission on the gifts you’re given. This means your wedding gifts are totally secure, and available to you the moment they’re given. Some of our customers choose to […]
Wedding gift spending
30 June 2010 – 5:36 pm
Earlier this week, our friends at men’s wedding magazine Staggered unearthed some research showing that wedding guests are, on average, spending less on wedding gifts now than they had in 2008. The research claimed that guests are spending £28.26 now, compared to £42.91 two years ago — a dramatic cut of 34%. This prompted us […]
Three minor updates
21 June 2010 – 11:50 am
In our efforts to be the UK’s best wedding list service, we’re always keeping an eye open for things we could do better, and making little improvements whenever we can. This past week, we made three. Our new system to automatically log PayPal gift payments is working brilliantly, and means that we can now be […]
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 […]
PayPal gift transactions
21 May 2010 – 5:27 pm
At Buy Our Honeymoon, we don’t ever touch a penny of the gifts made to you by your friends and family, but your guests can nonetheless use a credit or debit card to make a simple online payment directly into your PayPal account, without needing to set up an account of their own. This means […]
Wedding list, cash, or honeymoon vouchers?
6 May 2010 – 11:52 am
Earlier this week, Wedding Magazine published the results of its latest annual reader survey, revealing that nearly half of respondents would prefer cash wedding gifts. As the UK’s top honeymoon fund website, we’re not at all surprised by this! But of course, the details behind the headline get even more interesting: …forty-five per cent prefer […]
A quick note on the volcano
21 April 2010 – 10:10 am
Mercifully, it looks like flights are starting to resume in and out of Europe — but we know of many of our customers whose honeymoons are likely to have been seriously affected by the Eyjafjallajökull volcano. We sincerely hope that the travel situation will start to return to normal, but the ongoing chaos may well […]
