What is the Half Moon honeymoon gift registry?
This honeymoon gift registry is similar to a store gift registries, whereby you register for items you wish to receive as wedding gifts. This registry allows you to register components of your honeymoon or destination wedding online. Your wedding guests will then give you portions of your vacation as a wedding gift! Instead of asking for a crock pot, you could receive an upgrade on your honeymoon suite, a couple's massage or a romantic dinner as wedding gifts.Back to Top

Do you book the activities on my registry for me?
You have the freedom to choose the supplier for any gift you receive, as we are NOT booking the item for you just because it is listed on your gift registry. If the supplier requires you to book in a certain manner, you will find those terms under 'Notes to Couple', in each item description and via an email notification, once the item is purchased.Back to Top
How will I know how much to ask for?
When setting up your Honeymoon Wishes registry, we provide a suggested gift amount for each item, based on the suppliers 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'. If you've chosen to have gifts go to your hotel, those prices will be listed in the exact amount for you.
