I was considering at one point to do a whole Roger & Heather website (which now seems like an insane idea), and was trying to figure out how to do that as well as give our guests a way to 'register' for parts of our honeymoon.
Now, thanks to Deposit-A-Gift, there's a super easy way to do it online. When it's completely set up, the site will be here.
Advantages:
We can share with you all the plans we've made about our exciting honeymoon! It also gives you a choice in what you're giving money towards - whether it be sushi in Vancouver, or a night at a B&B in Montreal.
It's also awesome because of convenience - everything can be 'bought' online with a credit card. It's that simple.
Drawbacks:
The website is American. This means that all totals shown are in US Dollars. However, with things being pretty near par, we're hoping this doesn't mess anyone up with conversion rates and fees.
There's also an admin fee of 7.5% on top of every registered item. Granted, in the long scheme of things, PST costs more (!), but it's a pain. (Of course, if you are interested in giving us money and don't want to do it online, we're all for that! We'll have a box at the wedding for you to drop cards and certificates in.)
Other Things To Keep In Mind:
As I mentioned above, there is nothing stopping you from simply giving a gift directly to us! Just so you know, 700 Air Miles will buy a $100 gift certificate to VIA Rail, and 125 Miles will buy a $25 one. Very handy for us!
Ultimately, we're just happy people are coming to the wedding. Whether they give us a gift or not is not important - their presence means more than anything else.

I know you've written this on here, but how will the rest of the guests know about it?
ReplyDeleteI'll be reorganizing this site so that it functions more like a website than a blog.
