Plan A 5-Star Honeymoon For Free

Think Crowd-Funding, But For Your Honeymoon. Because Who Needs A Waffle Maker Anyway?

Lounge in cushy robes. Eat the breakfast spread that’s hand delivered to you in bed. Be waited on hand and foot at luxurious boutique hotels. Order anything and everything from the fancy restaurants that you usually have to wait to go to for when your parents are in town visiting. Sip on unlimited Aperol Spritzs on your inflatable flamingo in the private infinity pool. Enjoy a couples massage on the beach. Sail around on a private catamaran with unlimited booze….ALL. FOR. FREE.

How? It’s called a honeyfund and it’s life-changing.

Want a sterling set of forks? Cool, you do you. But for everyone else who has dreat of their honeymoon since the age of 10 and it didn’t consist of going bankrupt, consider Blueprint Registry. Guests contribute to your airfare, excursions, meals, you name it. Categorize any item, choose its photo and cost, and then collect the cash. That way, your guests feel good about buying you a specific memory (breakfast in bed, picnic on the beach, etc), but you’re able to use that money towards any part of the honeymoon.

We had our entire 12 day trip completely paid for. You’ll still get guests (usually the more traditional family members) who want to write you a check or give you that set of fancy Japanese knives, but having the majority of gifts be experience-related is about as good as it gets for us millennials.

Tip: When creating your honeyfund, go through your itinerary and figure out how much each excursion, flight, hotel, etc will cost (estimate meals too). This will help you ensure that your entire trip is fully paid for.

You can use group gifting options, which lets multiple guests contribute to a certain item (ex: expensive flights). You can also hide the price from guests on any/all items, because nobody needs that kind of judgement in their lives.

We realized pretty quickly that nobody wants to be the first to buy a gift, so we marked a few of them as “bought” (shh!). This made our guests think that others had already jumped onboard, and lit a fire under their butts to contribute as well. Little did they know that we were the ones who “bought” those first few gifts! Then, once more people were contributing, we went in and “unbought” those original pieces!
