This service does exactly what it says - it allows people to give you gifts through it in the form of a monetary contribution to your honeymoon. At the end, we received a cheque for the amount gifted to us and went on our way. Zero hassle.
This website was great and very easy to use. The only downside is the service fee, some of my guests were questioning why they would contribute to the site rather than just writing me a check when you can save that fee.
My husband and I used Traveler's Joy to register for our honeymoon. It was a great way to receive monetary gifts without actually asking for money. We received a lot of gifts and great feedback about the website. I would definitely recommend using this site if you're looking for a honeymoon registry!
This site is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone.
Many guests picked this popular option. We paid about half of what our honeymoon cost thanks to their lovely gifts.
We really enjoyed having an alternative to traditional gifts!
This is a great idea for this day and age. We were looks for currency gifts instead of house hold items we didn't need and this provided us with a great alternative.
Used Traveler's Joy for our honeymoon registry and it was super easy!
It was easy to cash out the gifts we received. When I set up the Traveler'a Joy account, I didn't realize that there was a fee.
Many of our guests complimented out wedding registry. It was easy to setup, easy for guests to give, and easy to claim the money.
Great service
My husband and I used Travelers Joy because we have a lot of what we already need, and we're moving across the state so we didn't want to add to our hauling load. Traveler's Joy helped with the registry, gave us some other couple's registries that we could use for examples and inspiration (which was very helpful) and had an easy process for depositing our gifts after the wedding. The only complaint I have is that it was pretty expensive. You can choose to have them collect the processing fees from guests, (I hope no one would ever do that!) guests and the overall gift or just from your overall gift. The amount ended up being about 5%. We opted to have them collect from our gift, so we thought that our guests wouldn't see any fees. But it turns out our guests still had to pay a .99 per transaction fee and an additional $5.90 per card if they wanted to have one mailed to us saying what honeymoon gift they had purchased. Many of our guests opted not to send the card and so we were just notified of their gifts via the automated email. Overall, I would probably compare pricing between this and some of the other honeymoon funding sites, but the end experience with Traveler's Joy wasn't bad at all!
Our family and friends really appreciated having this option. It was so easy to set up. Having so many options--templates or customized--made it quick. It was the easiest part of our planning!
I spent time checking out and comparing various honeymoon fund websites and I chose Traveler's Joy because of their rave reviews, their honesty about fees, and the user interface for my wedding guests. I received a ton of compliments from guests about the honeymoon fund, and even convinced a friend to use the same platform for her upcoming nuptials.
May not be a popular option if you have a lot of older or traditional-minded guests, but the ease of use for us (as the couple) was top-notch. Loved the location-based templates and gift suggestions, and the resulting page was very appealing. Customer service was everything we needed it to be, and the process of transferring our gift balance was simple and easy.
its great for honeymoon registries but 5% commission is way too high.
It was a great experience, very easy to use, no hidden things, we were able to easily deposit the money into our account. Great tool!
They take out a hefty portion for their fees.
It was unclear from the outset and throughout that those whom were gifted would be charged. It wasn't clear and would have preferred that those who chose to use the service be charged not taking away from the gift amount
