What does the Sandals Golf Resorts wedding and gift registry provide?

The Sandals wedding and gift registry provides a service which allows you to register your entire honeymoon or destination wedding at Sandals Golf Resorts online.

You also receive a free wedding website, announcement cards, a guest message board, bridal shower games and gift announcement cards!

Through your Sandals wedding and gift registry, your guests can give you portions of your honeymoon vacation or destination wedding at Sandals as a wedding gift!

Instead of a “place setting for the table” you could receive a “private candlelight dinner” or help with an “upgrade to a suite” as a wedding gift.

There are no set up fees to use the Sandals honeymoon registry and these gifts are actually going to be there for you at Sandals!

Why should we use Sandals Golf Resorts wedding and gift registry?

Using the honeymoon gift registry allows you to pre-plan what you want to do on your Sandals Golf Resorts honeymoon or at your destination wedding. With the Sandals wedding and gift registry, your wedding guests are actually giving you an activity or portion of your honeymoon at Sandals! Using this 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 at your Sandals Golf Resort. Unlike getting envelopes with checks in them at the wedding and leaving the next day for your honeymoon trip, Sandals wedding and 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 even 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.

Is the honeymoon registry or wedding website hard to set up?

Your honeymoon gift registry is so easy to set up and only takes about 15 minutes! You can pick the items you want from any Sandals Resort in the world. Each registry list is completely personalized by you and shows everything you want to do on your honeymoon or destination wedding with stunning photos for each item.

How do I know the Sandals site is a secure honeymoon registry?

We are secured and the ONLY honeymoon registry to be PCI compliant to ensure you feel confident when using this site (see out Trust Guard Seal) We also have a Turbo SSL certificate that is tested daily by Go Daddy. We also have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on your purchase.

How will I know how much to ask for?

When you set up your honeymoon registry, we give you the price per person or couple for that gift. For some items like “trip contributions” 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 upgrade is going to cost you $800.00, you may ask for “8 gifts of $100.00″ or “16 gifts of $50.00,” etc.

Does the Sandals Golf Resorts wedding registry site help with the honeymoon travel or destination wedding arrangements?

We encourage you to work closely with our travel professionals who can help design the honeymoon trip that is uniquely yours. Many include special VIP amenities and benefits available only when you book with one of our travel professionals. These added touches can make all the difference in your honeymoon experience!

What if some of my wedding guests aren’t that computer friendly?

No problem! Our customer service representatives are always happy to help and will take orders for your wedding registry over the phone. It is part of the outstanding customer service that we offer and part of what makes us the premiere honeymoon registry. Our toll free phone number is found on every page of the honeymoon registry site for easy convenience to you and your friends and family members requesting help or inquiring about any questions they may have.

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

We never charge a set up fee to use the Sandals wedding and gift registry. If a credit card is used to make a purchase, then a standard 3% credit card fee will be charged. (This fee goes directly to Electronic Merchant Systems, not us, and is for secure credit card processing for your guests.) The service fee for the registry is 7% and that is added at the time of checking out to purchase the gift. The small service charge covers your account management, order processing to book your gifts or send the credits to the resort, your wedding web page, gift announcements, etc. This service eliminates other typical registry costs, such as shipping and gift-wrap charges. Announcement, shower games and gift cards are free and can be downloaded at any time. The Sandals wedding and gift registry saves your guests time and gas with the comfort and convenience of purchasing their gift from their home or office. (They don’t even have to buy another card!)

Also, there is no hassle or embarrassment of returning or exchanging unwanted gifts for you!

How will I know which items are directly shipped or sent to my Sandals Golf Resort?

All items that are shipped directly to you or to your Sandals Golf Resort have a full explanation listed under “Note to Couple”. As you are building your registry, please read the notes specific to that item as you create your list. For more details on the terms of the item, please see the terms and conditions section.

How do we notify our guests about our Sandals Golf Resorts honeymoon registry and wedding website?

We provide downloadable announcements for you, at no charge, to let your friends and family know about your honeymoon bridal registry and wedding website. You can find this under the link “Let Everyone Know”. Your bridal party and family are great ways to help your guests learn about your Sandals registry. We can send out an email announcing your registry to your selected email list. Your Matron of Honor can include an announcement in the Bridal Shower invitations.

Get everyone involved and remember that your guests really want to get you something you truly want and will remember forever.

The wedding website we give you is a great way for everyone to keep up to date on all the details about your wedding and makes them feel like they are a part of your special day.

What if I don’t want to use the whole wedding website but I want to put up my photo and a special message on the top of my Sandals Golf Resorts honeymoon registry?

To post a message and a photo on the top of your bridal registry, log in and click on “Create Wedding Webpage”. You don’t have to fill in the whole thing for the images to show. We suggest you can just upload your photos and use the “Special Message” section only.

How am I notified of a purchase from my Sandals Golf Resorts wedding and gift registry?
