Honeymoon - Gift List Websites

smevans

Hi all,

My partner and I are getting married in August and I would like to set up a website our guests have the option to contribute towards our honeymoon if they wish.

I have googled many of these gift list websites but would welcome opinion on others who used or know about these.

I dont want to pay too much as I could probably knock something up in Wordpress but would like not too as time is precious right now!

Just looking at https://www.honeyfund.co.uk - looks perfect!

That's what we are going to use. I have searche through the masses, n we thought they seemed the best as they don't handle your money. So no charges that way!

That looks great! I've been looking for a while and have only seen sites that charge you either a flat fee or a percentage of your cash. Thanks smevans!

Very welcome.

Just emailed the site about a query I had and they responded very quickly.

Am looking forward to using them :beer:

Do you think they are genuine? We were going to use Thomas Cook but as they have gone into administration, we are avoiding that now.

I'm tempted to just set up a wedding paypal that way I know the money is coming to us?

Definitely genuine.

Paypal = lots of charges.

Honeyfund don't actually touch or process the money. It's more like an online shopping list. Givers can pay via PayPal, but PayPal has fees so if you withdraw it you won't get the full amount. I think you can have it payed straight in to bank, but definitely by cheque or cash on the day.

Thomas Cook as a company have not gone into administration (yet). They are closing down some outlets/shops but at the moment they are still trading. They are (in my opinion) trying hard to keep afloat. I am cross that the media have whipped up this storm, causing people to lose faith. It is this that will kill Thomas Cook not their share price crashing (which led to the media field day in the first place).

My sister used blisslist to do hers. We just used a free site from gettingmarried.co.uk and put some ideas on a static page as to things we'd like contributions toward. It wasn't as "polished", but it meant that we got to keep every penny people gave us.
