Raise money for weddings, showers and honeymoons with an online donation page from GoFundMe!

Congratulations! Finding a mate? Check! Setting the date? Check!  Spending hours deciding which toaster, sheets, and blender to register for? Daunting!

More and more couples have decided that traditional registries don’t fit their needs, and are opting for online wedding donations at sites like GoFundMe.  Instead of spatulas, online wedding donations can help with a honeymoon registry, a down payment on a house, or whatever the couple really wants.

Giving and asking for wedding gift money instead of gifts can be a tricky proposition.  However, etiquette has evolved to make the growing popularity of wedding gift money a respected practice.  How much to give? Depending on the relationship to the bride and groom, typical gifts range from $50 from a co-worker to about $150 from close friends and family.  Contributing to a honeymoon registry online via secure PayPal transactions eliminates the worrisome logistical problems and risks of gift money at the wedding itself.

Although etiquette has given the OK to request money for weddings in lieu of gifts, the rules still apply that neither a cash wedding gift site nor traditional registry should be printed on the invitation.  So how do guests find out where to give wedding gift money?  With the variety of sharing methods on GoFundMe, from Facebook to email to Twitter, word of mouth (and web!) travels fast from the bridal party and family out to guests.

Raising money for a wedding is just the beginning.  Planning bridal showers, bachelor parties, honeymoons and other pre-wedding festivities are made easy with quick and simple setup. Organizers can track contributions at a glance, and the Update and Comment features are fun ways to keep everyone informed and excited leading up to events.

So, how to get started?  In less than a minute, users can create a personal, customized page, complete with photos, comments, and fundraising goals.
