The 6 secrets to crafting a super-successful honeymoon registry

An awesome honeymoon often stems from an awesome honeymoon registry. Read on as our sponsor Traveler's Joy reveals six ways to craft an original, effective, and super successful registry, that could pave the way for the honeymoon of your dreams.

Show off your personalities

First, look to personalize your registry just like you would for the wedding. Start by including some of your favorite photos and a wonderful welcome message on your registry page. Make sure your personality as a couple really comes through in your gifts as well. For instance, consider how are you described as a couple. Are you fun, sweet, intelligent, or adventurous? If you are adrenaline-seekers? Be sure to include opportunities for your friends and family to gift you thrilling activities like snorkeling, zip-lining, or skydiving. Guests will be much more excited to contribute toward a gift if they can really picture you enjoying it.

Let your guests experience your trip with you

Next, include your friends and family in your trip experience by making your gifts as descriptive as possible. Your friends want to see and hear about the beautiful waterfall you'll visit, or the incredible dinner on the beach you have planned. Providing photos, detailed descriptions, and even links to websites will really help your guests live vicariously through you and be excited about helping you make those memories.

List gifts for many different budgets

Perhaps the most important aspect of creating a successful registry is listing gifts of different prices so guests with a variety of budgets can find a gift to give. It could be anything from $15 towards shrimp tacos at a roadside food truck in Hawaii, to $250 for a romantic dinner at the finest restaurant in Paris. Get creative, have fun, and really mix up the amounts of those gift items!

We often find that guests forgo purchasing a gift on a registry if they do not find anything within their budget. The great thing about the honeymoon registries at Traveler's Joy is that they all offer a "Gift of Any Amount" that you can add to the end of your registry. Now friends and family can contribute any amount to your trip if they don't find items that fit within their price range.

Take advantage of our image library

Customizing your registry items will be super easy thanks to our gift image library, which features more than 100,000 photos. So whether you're looking for that perfect snorkeling photo or you're in need of a romantic sunset shot, we've got it all. Or if you'd prefer, you can mix and match by adding a few of your own images.

Get inspired by real honeymoon registries

Our editorial team has picked out dozens of fabulous registries from recent Traveler's Joy honeymooners. Locations range from Africa to Europe to the Caribbean - and everywhere in between. Look to model your own registry after these great examples.

Notify your guests

Finally, we know how hard it can be to make sure your friends and family know where you are registered. Remember, wedding gifts and registries should never be mentioned in your wedding invitations, but creating a wedding website can be a great way for guests to find information about your celebration, in addition to your honeymoon registry.

Now you know the secrets to a successful honeymoon registry, start yours today so you can have the adventure of your lives tomorrow!
