Nineteen
We started Buy Our Honeymoon 19 years ago, with a promise: to provide the best dedicated honeymoon gift list on the market. The world has changed a lot since then, but our promise is just the same.
Better than cash
We built Buy Our Honeymoon for ourselves, to fund our own honeymoon. We found our guests loved that their gifts to us could be our theme park tickets, or a jazz cruise, or upgrading our rental car to a convertable. They were brought along with us throughout our itinerary. It was, without exaggeration, the most memorable few weeks of our lives. We made sure to thank everyone for the gift they actually gave, not the money they spent on it.
Our service is here to bridge the gap between an old-school registry of products in giftwrapped boxes, and nakedly asking for cash. It adds personality and romance to one of the most practical aspects of your wedding – and one of the first experiences of your wedding your guests are likely to have.
A tech product with human service
We are, of course, a website. But couples using our service know that there are real humans on the other side of the email, and that if they call us, they’ll talk to the actual people running the business. In that sense, we’re much closer to the boutique florist, baker or photographer you might hire for your big day.
We always reply to enquiries with legendary speed – sometimes within minutes! And we’re always on hand to talk about any special requirements you may have to make sure that your honeymoon fund is uniquely tailored to your specific needs.
What we don’t do is as important as what we do
Over the past 19 years, we’ve facilitated hundreds of thousands of gifts, and helped tens of thousands of couples, all across the world. Our business is trusted, proven, and stable. We’re not here to provide shareholder value or a return on investment for some venture capital portfolio.
So you’ll never see us show ads on your gift list. We won’t harass you or your guests for reviews, or sign you up to a mailing list. We don’t pass on service fees to your guests, or upsell them for our own profit. Your guests don’t even need to see our trading name.
All of the service, a fraction of the cost
When we began, other honeymoon registries charged a 9% fee on any gifts received. We pioneered the model of having a simple, one-off fee to keep processing costs as low as they possibly could be.
Even after nineteen years, we’ve never put our price up. So our service is even better value now that it’s ever been, and we’re still always improving.
It’s all about your honeymoon, wherever you’re headed, whatever your plans. We’re here to help make that journey happen.
