Our team is here to answer calls toll free, process checks and credit card transactions of your guests.

You may choose to have the service & handling fee added or deducted from each gift amount.

What does the service & handling fee cover?

Service Fee BreakdownThe service charge covers your account management, unlimited fund transfers, coordination with Makena Beach & Golf Resort, your wedding web site, order processing, gift announcements, email wizard, merchant account fees (that we are charged) and toll free live customer service to assist your guests. We ensure that your guest's transactions are processed at the highest rate of secure SSL encryption, and protected by a $3,000,000.00 insurance policy against identity theft and fraud.

This is not simply a fee for processing monies; it's a fee so that we can continue to provide outstanding services for you. To run this registry company, we have a dedicated team, providing a high quality and professional service.

Store registries carry costs such as shipping, taxes and gift-wrap charges to cover the services. The service fee this registry charges is often less than these charges imposed on your guests.

And, there is no hassle or embarrassment of returning or exchanging unwanted gifts for you!

Do you book the activities on my Honeymoon Wishes registry for me?

You have the freedom to choose the supplier for any gift you receive, as we are NOT booking the item for you just because it is listed on your gift registry. If the supplier requires you to book in a certain manner, you will find those terms under 'Notes to Couple', in each item description and via an email notification, once the item is purchased.
Back to Top

How will I know how much to ask for?

When setting up your Honeymoon Wishes registry, we provide a suggested gift amount for each item, based on the suppliers in that area. However, you are free to ask for whatever you would like. We recommend using varied denominations to accommodate all guests and checking with your travel professional or supplier for exact pricing. All prices vary by location, availability, and are subject to change without notice. You can break down the amounts any way you choose.

For example, if an item is going to cost you $200.00, you may ask for '2 gifts of $100.00' or '4 gifts of $50.00'.
