Can You Have a Registry if You Have a Destination Wedding?

By Alice Nichols

Destination weddings are incredibly popular these days. Couples are choosing to exchange vows in exotic locations all over the world, from tropical beaches to snow-capped mountains.

But can you still have a registry if you’re having a destination wedding? The answer is yes!

Having a registry for a destination wedding may be a bit different than for a traditional wedding, but it can still be done. Instead of registering for items like china and flatware, couples should focus on experiences that the couple and their guests can enjoy during the wedding trip. Items like spa treatments, excursions and tickets to local attractions make ideal gifts that will be enjoyed by all.

Couples can also register for items that they will need while they are away. This could include luggage tags, travel-sized toiletries or even a “honeymoon fund” so that they have money to spend while they’re away.

Another popular option is registering at stores where guests can buy the couple gift cards so that they can purchase whatever they need when they get there. This could be anything from clothing to souvenirs or groceries for their stay.

If you don’t want to register at traditional stores, there are other ways you can ask for gifts from your guests. Many couples are now asking their guests to donate money towards their honeymoon or even towards their wedding expenses as well. This is becoming increasingly popular among couples who are having destination weddings because it takes away some of the stress associated with planning and paying for the wedding itself.

In conclusion, having a registry if you’re having a destination wedding is absolutely possible! Couples should focus on experiences that both them and their guests can enjoy during the trip, as well as items that will make the trip more enjoyable. They could also consider asking guests to donate money towards the honeymoon or other wedding expenses instead of registering at traditional stores.
