Why should we use the Grand Wailea honeymoon registry?

Using the honeymoon gift registry allows you to pre-plan what you want to do on your honeymoon or at your destination wedding. Using a honeymoon registry is so much more personal than asking your guests outright for cash! Guests will choose something special that they would like to give you as a wedding gift. Unlike getting envelopes with checks in them at the wedding and leaving the next day for your honeymoon trip, a honeymoon gift registry allows you to know ahead of time what you will have available for extras and upgrades on your honeymoon or destination wedding. You can register to get the word out early, and have gift money to come in to help with the initial costs of the honeymoon trip as many of our wedding couples do.

When will we receive gift funds from this honeymoon registry?

All gift monies for the "Trip Contribution" item will be transferred to you by check or ACH transfer according to your payment preference upon your request. Payment requests for the "Trip Contribution" item will be processed 24 hours after your request.

The gift monies for all other items on your honeymoon registry:
All gifts purchased for you up to 3 days prior to your honeymoon date will be transferred to you as a room credit and will be waiting for you upon your arrival. You may use this credit on anything that the resort allows you to charge to your room. Please note that we do not make the actual reservation for you. To book your gift items please follow the instructions listed under each item.

NOTE: All resort credits must be used on property during your stay , are non-refundable and non-transferable.

Any gift purchased within 3 days of your honeymoon date will be sent to you directly, not the resort. You will receive the cash value of the gifts purchased. The monies will be sent to you via your choice of either an ACH (secure bank to bank transfer) or by check.

How much does it cost to use the wedding registry and wedding website?

We charge a small service & handling fee to maintain a professional full service registry for you, your friends and family. This service & handling fee provides an ad free registry experience, wedding website and social networking tools, with the highest level of security, encryption and insurance. 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. Adding it to the transaction means that the purchaser will be charged a 9.65% service & handling fee at check-out. Deducting the service & handling fee will have the gift amount transfer at 7% less than the listed amount to you, with the gift purchaser paying a reduced service fee of 2.65%. If the fee is added to the gift, purchasers can receive a 2.65% discount if they choose to mail a check directly bringing the total service fee to 7%.

Guests from around the world can make a contribution towards your honeymoon with ease which means no shipping or carrying gifts with them to your wedding destination. Please feel free to call us with any questions.

What does the service & handling fee cover?

Service Fee BreakdownThe service charge covers your account management, unlimited fund transfers, coordination with partner resorts, cruise lines, and tour providers; 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. The honeymoon registry saves your guests time and gas with the comfort and convenience of purchasing their gift from their home or office. And, there is no hassle or embarrassment of returning or exchanging unwanted gifts for you!

Are the activities or travel that are purchased for us from our registry prebooked and prearranged?

The Grand Wailea honeymoon registry program does not book any registry items or activities, airfare or accommodations for you. You will need to book your travel and all activities yourself. We encourage you to work closely with your travel agent or with Grand Wailea directly to book your travel and if you would like to prearrange any activities.

If the activity supplier requires you to book in a certain manner, you will find these terms under "Notes to Couple" as you build your registry and in an email notification with booking instructions once the item is purchased.

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'. If you've chosen to have gifts go to your hotel, those prices will be listed in the exact amount for you.
