Are our gifts safe?
Completely. Buy Our Honeymoon acts purely as a wedding list creation and gift reservation service — we don’t collect or hold any money on your behalf, so your gifts are yours from the moment they’re given.
If you decide to set up online payments for your list, your guests will send the value of their gifts directly to you, facilitated by the site. We never hold your funds ourselves, although we’ll do everything we can to make the process as straightforward and seamless as possible for your guests.
Our unique Direct Debit payment system is operated by GoCardless. GoCardless is the UK’s biggest Direct Debit provider, processing more than £3bn worth of transactions per year.
Stripe process billions of payments every year. They’re largely targeted at online businesses rather than individuals, so they’re less well-known than PayPal — but they’re one of the most respected payments infrastructure providers for the internet, trusted by companies like Pinterest, Kickstarter, Twitter, The Guardian, TED, Salesforce and even Amazon for payments processing.
Although we can monitor the status of gift payments made to your account, we cannot access these funds or obtain the details of your bank account.
We’d like to personalise our pages — what options do you have?
Buy Our Honeymoon offers the most flexible and creative fund available. Select a gorgeous design theme for your gift list and customise it with your own photos, applying one of our professional filters if you wish. Upload pictures to gift items or choose from our library of more than 850,000 high quality images. Format text with bold and italics, include links, and add, remove and reorder categories for your gifts. You have plenty of room to describe your honeymoon plans and to leave a note thanking your guests for their gifts.
On the practical side, you can add a release date or a guest password to your fund, adjust your gift notification and privacy options, set up different gift payment options for guests in different countries, and apply multiple languages to your registry.
We’re always on hand to assist, and we’ll always do our best to accommodate any special requests.
When should we sign up?
Anytime!* It’s a great idea to sign up for a free, no-obligation 7-day trial to “test drive” the site and see if it’s right for you.
At any point, you can make a single, one-time payment and spend your time leisurely adding items as you think of them during the run up to your wedding. If you’d like to send your invitations before your fund is ready, we can add a release date for you. And if you’d like a helping hand putting your list together, that’s all part of the service.
