Honeymoon,as wedding present, vouchers????)
We are getting married next July, we dont really need a kettle, dinner set, microwave, teapot etc so were thinking of asking people to contribute
towards a honeymoon, ive heard that some of the travel agents do some sort of voucher scheme but have no idea how this works ?
Has anyone on here any experience of this sort of thing ? If its a goer, we will just put on the invites that we are not expecting wedding presents
(basically we prefer peoples company for the day) but if people feel the need to - then something towards the honeymoon would be nice.
Is this cheeky ?? does it have to be done a few months pre-wedding ? It is going to be quite a locost wedding  seems silly to spend thousands on one
day when we are perfectly happy with each other and what we have together.
Any thoughts guys & girls ?
Regards Andy

Me and my wife did this for for our wedding, as did my sister last year.
we are in exactly the same boat - we have everything we want / need in our house. we'd rather someone give us a £5er donation to the holiday
than some £30 gift we are never going to need / use
have a look on here:

we added one of these ryhmes in our wedding invites.

Mate of mine did this.
Had a load of "things" you could buy them while they were there.
Hire car, dinner for 2, cocktails on the beach etc etc.
I think it might have been this site http://www.buy-our-honeymoon.com/ but there are loads of similar sites, a quick google for Honeymoon Gift List or
similar should sort you out.
Best of luck!

(P.S. I got a steering wheel, seatbelts, a petrol tank and some seats on my wedding list. The lads much prefered buying "boys stuff" than
towels and mugs!)

Our niece had a sort of gift voucher scheme at a local travel agent where you just went in and told them whose holiday it was toward and they took a
donation from you. They went to the Seychelles in the end with what they got.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

We just asked people for money. As we already had everything we needed.
Everyone was happy with that. Money in a card is the easiest present to give and best to receive !
