Wedding gifts

My sister did this, I don’t think it’s rude, however due to the balance for holidays usually due months in advance, most tried contributing too late, a lot chose to give gifts of foreign currency at the wedding.

I think I'd find it a bit rude to ask them to pay travel agent directly, it'd be a lot easier for guests to give cash in a card, then you put all cash together and pay travel agent yourself 😊

I went to a wedding where they asked for gift vouchers from a travel agent no one seemed to mind

No of course not. As usually people give money as a wedding gift for a house or honeymoon. I would have done the same if we chose to have a honeymoon straight after but 2 years on, still havent had a honeymoon but have saved our money wedding gifts until we do 😁

There are loads of cute poems on pinterest for nice ways to say 'please give us money instead'.

We did this, people paid directly, and we were told who had contributed but not how much, we had an amazing 2 weeks in Cancun all inclusive and cost us nothing. 😀

We had this wording on our wedding website:

Your presence at our wedding is present enough and we would rather you spend your hard-earned pennies on enjoying our special day with us. However, if you do wish to bestow us with a gift, we would greatly appreciate a little something towards our honeymoon using the link below.

We have arranged a gift list at the following :

Trailfinders, with ID XXXXX. Please visit our page at Trailfinders for more information.

We have asked for a donation towards our honeymoon xx

We found a poem about the guests presence being our present but if they did want to get us a present, to contribute towards a honeymoon.

We did it, but we weren’t going on our full honeymoon for six months after the wedding due to where in the world we were travelling too

I know of many that have done this but cash to themself not direct to travel agents theres many poems online etc to word it politely x

We did it (although it was money in a card) and then didn’t get an official honeymoon because of covid 🤦‍♀️ I’m actually grateful it was money and nothing else otherwise I could have had a fight on my hands with the travel agent! Just worth thinking about , but no I don’t think it’s rude xx

My cousin has a little box to post the money donations in for her honeymoon.. 🙂 xx

My husband and I paid for our honeymoon before our wedding and then used the money gifts to pay it back. We went on our honeymoon a day after our wedding in august 2019 x

I think it's a brilliant idea 💡 😀

Yes

Making Memories, Not Just Travel do a honeymoon gift fund when guests can give money towards the honeymoon 😊

There’s a website where people can pay for meals and trips for your honeymoon, my friends did it for theirs and added the link into their invites!!!

Personally I wouldn’t give money as a gift, but I don’t think it’s rude to ask either!

Direct to the Travel Agent l would say is a yes. IMO. Especially with everything that is going on with travel. Maybe instead ask for money towards the honey moon or Honeymoon extras eg travel money or towards a nice evening

We did it via virgin as a gift list. We wrote a little poem on a card asking for contributions. Most providers will allow the “gift list” to remain open until after the wedding and refund the balance to you
