Receiving all the wonderful gifts friends and family purchase for you is simple. When you set up the registry, you may choose from one of the following methods: have everything sent direct to you OR sent direct to your hotel.How your gift monies are transferred is determined by your chosen payment method, your resort and the specific gifts purchased. Please see "Notes to Couple" on each item when building your registry. If you are logged in and have already selected gifts, view your Full Accounting.
You may choose to have your gifts sent either:
DIRECT TO YOU: If you choose to have funds sent directly to you, gifts may be collected at any time, as many times as you'd like. You may:
- Send funds directly to your US based bank account, with our free unlimited ACH bank to bank direct deposit. This is the most efficient and secure method.

How much does it cost to use the wedding registry and wedding website?
We charge a small service & handling fee to maintain a professional full service registry for you, your friends and family. This is the only fee charged. There are no hidden fees or "bait and switch" to you like other registry sites. For sites that charge a "one time fee" our fees will usually come in less than what you are paying for a "cheap" registry.We provide a spam free - ad free registry experience for your friends & family, a wedding website for you all with the highest level of security, encryption and insurance. Our team is here to answer calls toll free, process checks and credit card transactions of your guests that need help and are not as tech savvy. We never sell your friends & family's emails or information we choose to put our fees upfront so that we can provide the best service and protection available online.
You may choose to have the service & handling fee added or deducted from each gift amount. Adding it to the transaction means that the purchaser will be charged a 7% service & handling fee at check-out. Deducting the service & handling fee will have the gift amount transfer at 7% less than the listed amount to you. Unfortunately anyone using a credit card will be charged the 2.65% fee that the credit card processing charges to run their card securely - we make no profit from this fee and every commerce site has a credit card processing fee.

What does the service & handling fee cover?

This is not simply a fee for processing monies; it's a fee so that we can continue to provide outstanding services for you. To run this registry company, we have a dedicated team, providing a high quality and professional service.
Store registries carry costs such as shipping, taxes and gift-wrap charges to cover the services. The service fee this registry charges is often less than these charges imposed on your guests. The honeymoon registry saves your guests time and gas with the comfort and convenience of purchasing their gift from their home or office. And, there is no hassle or embarrassment of returning or exchanging unwanted gifts for you!

All prices vary by location, availability, and are subject to change without notice. You can break down the amounts any way you choose. For example, if an item is going to cost you $200.00, you may ask for "2 gifts of $100.00" or "4 gifts of $50.00," etc. If you've chosen to have gifts go to your hotel those prices will be listed in the exact amount for you.Back to Top
