Ok so my fiance and I have spent a lot of time trying to decide what to do about a gift list - we already live together and have everything we need for our home, and neither of us felt comfortable asking for money (just personal choice - we both have a lot of older relatives who have quite traditional views on these things!)
We eventually found a site called Honeyfund where you can basically put anything at all that you want on a list. As we are going on a month long honeymoon (road trip in America) we decided to base our gift list on this. So rather than just asking for a cash contribution for our honeymoon, people can choose from a list of things we want to do on our trip and book something for us (attraction tickets, meals out, hotel upgrades etc etc)
It seemed like a really good compromise for us and we are happy with it - the only thing I'm not sure of is how to present this to our guests? I've read that you shouldn't put the gift list in your wedding invitation, so where do we put it? We weren't planning on having a wedding website
And if we were to put it in the invite, where do we add it in? Because it's not a traditional gift lift from John Lewis or somewhere, I'm thinking if people see the link they will be thinking "what the hell is this"?!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
