Opinions are split. Some respondents were concerned about the processing fee, with one woman saying that couples "should just ask for cash" directly from guests if that is what they want. Another woman supports the service, saying that there are ways around the fee "if you read the fine print."
There also seems to be a generational divide surrounding the approach, which I experienced firsthand while planning my own wedding. While my 30-year-old former boss said that I should definitely register with Honeyfund, my 61-year-old mother questioned the concept. "Do people really do that?" she asked, and insisted that I register with Macy's in order to appease any guests who might find Honeyfund confusing.
In an effort to please all parties, my fiancé and I registered with Honeyfund, Macy's and Zola, even though we live in a studio apartment with little space for any more physical items. I don't feel Honeyfund sends the old-school negative message that a couple is asking their guests to pay for an 'over-the-top honeymoon' like the solicitation of cash in the past.However, top wedding professionals say it's perfectly acceptable to ask your friends and family to fund your honeymoon.
The number of couples signing up for cash registries has risen 50% since 2016, and charity wedding registries more than tripled in popularity between 2016 and 2017, according to
