How do honeymoon funds work?


How do honeymoon funds work? A honeymoon fund works very similarly to a wedding registry, except instead of giving gifts, wedding guests gift cash. Honeymoon funds are so popular that sometimes couples will explicitly ask wedding guests for honeymoon cash in lieu of traditional wedding gifts.


Do honeymoon funds take a percentage?

Processing fees and transaction fees You may see these fees referred to as transaction fees or credit card fees, which can range from two to five percent. These fees can really start to eat into your honeymoon fund, so it's best to find a registry with a low percentage fee.
