Honeymoon Registries
Many of our couples have asked us what to register for if they already have what they need. Some of them have already been out of college for a while, so they have the typical furnishings you include on a wedding registry. (Towels, dishes, etc) Especially when you are combing households, it can seem a little pointless to register at JC Penney or Target. While we still encourage everyone to register at some of the familiar places (surely there’s something at Target you want!), we LOVE Honeymoon Registries.
Honeymoon registries allow you to register for either items on your honeymoon or cash towards your honeymoon. For example, someone might want to get you some champagne and strawberries one night, or maybe a horseback ride on the beach one day. Or maybe they just want to make the trip a little easier and send some cash your way. Great, huh? Not only that, but you can dictate what goes on your registry, so if your allergic to horses (I am), maybe you don’t have that as an option.
Another sneaky bonus of honeymoon registries is that often, you just get the cash for these items! So while your guests think they are buying you a massage, you really are getting the cash to spend as you please. Who doesn’t mind cash?

Honeymoon Highlights Video
In scanning my favorite blogs, I found something pretty cool that one of my fave vendors offers and I’d never seen before. It’s called a Honeymoon Highlight video and I just can’t get over how great an idea this is. Soulbox Productions, one of the coolest companies around, provides the bride and groom a one-time use video camera from CVS to record their time away. Here’s a picture of the camera. (Can you believe they sell these things at CVS?)
The camera records 20 minutes of video, out of which you can delete the shots you don’t want so it’s the best 20 minutes you take. You also take pictures (with your own camera) and pick out 60 of your faves. Once you return and share all this with Soulbox, Soulbox turns around and creates a video to tell the story of your honeymoon through the video, photos and music you choose. So now you get to share your honeymoon deets with your friends and fam through this awesome Honeymoon Highlight video! Of course Soublox will also give you the raw dvd of your honeymoon footage from the CVS camera (since it is disposable).
Another advantage: Being able to relive your honeymoon on the same DVD as your wedding. How cool is that! The cost is $900 (plus tax). The majority of the cost is all the time it takes to edit it all together (approximately a full week of post production).

Enjoy!
