Planning a perfect honeymoon filled with relaxation and exhilarating activities can be challenging; however with Celebration.com, it’s now easier than ever. For nearly 20 years we have been helping couples all around the world! Read on for a step by step guide on how to create your registry today!
What is a Honeymoon Registry?
A honeymoon registry is a platform where couples can ask for gift money that can go towards their honeymoon travels rather than creating a traditional registry where guests purchase physical gifts.
Before getting started, it’s also helpful to understand honeymoon registry etiquette so you can share your registry thoughtfully.
Honeymoon registries have become increasingly popular because they give couples the freedom to ask for what they actually want: experiences and memories rather than household items they may not need. Whether you're honeymooning in Bali, Hawaii, Italy, or the Caribbean, a honeymoon registry lets you itemize your trip so guests feel like they're gifting something real and meaningful, not just sending a check.

Here are the best ways to get your registry in front of guests:
- Add it to your wedding website. Your Celebration.com registry links directly from your free wedding website, so guests always know where to find it.
- Include it in your save-the-dates or invitations. A short note like "In lieu of gifts, we've created a honeymoon registry at Celebration.com" is all you need.
- Share on social media. Post your registry link on Instagram or Facebook and let friends and family know how they can contribute.
- Send a direct email or text. Reach out personally to close family members, especially those who may not be as active online.
- Timing tip: share your registry at least 3 to 4 months before the wedding so guests have plenty of time to contribute.
What to Include in Your Honeymoon Registry
Not sure what to add? The beauty of a honeymoon registry is that you can include virtually any travel experience. Some categories couples add include:
- Flights and airport transfers: cover the cost of getting there in style
- Hotels and accommodations: from a beachfront bungalow to a luxury resort suite
- Excursions and activities: snorkeling, surfing lessons, guided tours, helicopter rides
- Dining experiences: romantic dinners, cooking classes, wine tastings
- Spa and wellness: couples massages, beach yoga sessions, or a full spa day
- Transportation: car rentals, train passes, or private boat charters
You can select from pre-built gift items on Celebration.com or create your own fully custom experiences with a name, description, and price of your choosing.
Pro tip: Include the specific destination in your item names, such as "Sunset Cruise in Santorini" or "Beachfront Dinner in Tulum," so guests feel genuinely connected to the moment they're helping create.
How to Set Gift Amounts: A Pricing Guide for Every Budget
One of the most common questions couples have is how to price their registry items. The key is to offer a range so every guest feels comfortable contributing, no matter their budget:
- Small gifts ($25 to $75): Cocktails at sunset, a local market tour, or a special breakfast in bed
- Mid-range gifts ($75 to $200): A snorkeling excursion, a spa treatment, or a romantic dinner for two
- Larger gifts ($200 and up): A night's accommodation, a private boat charter, or a flight upgrade
Aim for at least 8 to 12 items across all price points so guests have plenty of meaningful options to choose from.
You can also add a General Honeymoon Fund item at the end of your registry. This gives guests the option to contribute any amount they're comfortable with if they don't find a specific item that fits their budget. It's a simple addition that ensures no guest feels left out.
