Registrant's FAQ

What does this celebration gift registry provide?

With no cost to set up, you receive a personal website, announcement cards, a blog and more! You can even post unlimited photos on your photo album and your friends and family can print them out for free!

We are not an IOU or wish list and cater more to celebration registrants that feel service is important for them, their family and friends. If you feel your guests may want assistance or might want to use a credit card online, we will take care of your gifts and deliver them straight to your account. Through the celebration registry, your guests can give you portions of your trip or destination celebration as a gift!

Why should we use this celebration registry?

Using the celebration registry allows you to receive money as gifts from friends and family to apply directly to your trip or celebration. Using a registry is much more personal than asking your guests outright for cash! You can register, get the word out early and have gift money come in to help with the initial costs of the trip.

How will I know how much to ask for?

When you set up your celebration registry, we give you a suggested gift amount for each tour or activity per person in that area. However, you are free to ask for whatever you would like. We recommend using varied denominations to accommodate all guests and checking with your travel professional or supplier for exact pricing. 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.

How much does it cost to use the celebration registry and celebration personal website?

We charge a small service & handling fee to maintain a professional full service registry for you, your friends and family. This service & handling fee provides an ad free registry experience, wedding website and social networking tools 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.

You may choose whether you'd like the service & handling fee to be added or deducted from each gift amount. Adding it to the transaction means that the purchaser will be charged a 10% 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, with the gift purchaser paying a reduced service fee of 2.65%. If the fee is added to the gift, purchasers can receive a 2.65% discount if they choose to mail a check directly bringing the total service fee to 7%.

Guests from around the world can make a contribution towards your honeymoon with ease which means no shipping or carrying gifts with them to your wedding destination. Please feel free to call us with any questions.

When will I receive my gifts from my celebration registry?

Receiving all the wonderful gifts your friends and family purchase for you is simple. Your gift funds will be sent DIRECT TO YOU via bank to bank transfer or you may choose to receive a check in the mail. Choose to have gift funds:

• Sent straight to your US bank account with our free unlimited ACH bank to bank direct deposit. This is the most efficient and secure method.

OR

• Have a check mailed to you via regular US postal service ( We cannot responsible for lost mail - a great reason to \"Go Green\" and use the bank to bank transfer service.)

Gifts may be collected at any time, as many times as you'd like. Should you get busy and forget to request them, no worries, gift funds will automatically be sent the week before your honeymoon. Any gifts purchased while you are traveling or later, will be sent by your chosen method once you are back home. When you are logged in simply go to Manage My Money to make your selection.

Will you send the gift money from my celebration registry to my travel agent or a travel supplier?

Do you book the activities on my celebration registry for me?

You have the freedom to choose whatever supplier for any gift you receive as we are not booking the item for you just because it is listed on your gift registry. We always suggest asking your travel professional to help you with reservations for your trip or destination celebration. If your supplier requires you to book in a certain manner, you will find those terms under "Note to Registrant" or "Important Details on Your Registry Account" as you build your registry as well as receiving an email notification once the item is purchased for you with booking instructions.
