Couples Frequently Asked Questions
What does this anniversary registry provide?
The anniversary registry provides a service which allows you to register your
entire anniversary or vow renewal online. You also receive a free personal
website, announcement cards, a guest message board, and gift announcement
cards! Through the anniversary registry, your guests can give you portions
of your anniversary vacation or vow renewal as a gift! Instead of a
"place setting for the table", you could receive a "romantic anniversary dinner"
or help with an "upgrade to a anniversary suite" as a gift. There are no set up
fees to use this anniversary registry.
Why should we use this Anniversary registry?
Using the anniversary gift registry allows you to pre-plan what you want to do
on your anniversary or vow renewal. And, using an anniversary registry is so much
more personal than asking your guests outright for cash! Friends and family will
choose something special that they would like to give you as an anniversary gift.
Unlike getting envelopes with checks in them at the anniversary party or vow renewal
ceremony and then leaving the next day for your trip, an anniversary registry allows
you to know ahead of time what you will have available for extras and upgrades on
your anniversary trip. You can even register, get the word out early and have gift
money come in to help with the initial costs of the anniversary trip as many of our couples do.
Is the anniversary registry or celebration website hard to set up?
Your anniversary gift registry is so easy to set up and only takes about 15 minutes!
We give you a list of anniversary ideas you can choose from destinations all around
the world. You can pick the items you want or add anything we don't have to your
anniversary registry with our "create your own wizard". No cookie cutter registry
lists or cartoons here! Each one is completely personalized by you and shows everything
you want to do on your anniversary trip or vow renewal with stunning photos for each item.

![]() We pride ourselves on having beautiful pictures and detailed descriptions for every item on the anniversary registry. Your guests deserve to see what they are buying you and this makes the experience for them even more personal! You can view samples by clicking on the anniversary destinations under "sample registry". How will I know how much to ask for?
When you set up your anniversary registry, we give you a suggested gift amount for each tour
or activity per person 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 or $100.00” or “4 gifts of $50.00”, etc.
Does the registry site help with the anniversary travel or vow renewal arrangements?
We encourage you to work closely with our anniversary travel and vow renewal specialists who can
help design the anniversary trip that is uniquely yours. Many include special VIP amenities and
benefits available only when you book with one of our anniversary travel specialists. These added
touches can make all the difference in your experience!
What if some of my friends and family aren't that computer friendly?
No problem! Our customer service representatives are always happy to help and will take orders
for your anniversary registry over the phone, it is part of the outstanding customer service
that we offer and part of what makes us the premiere anniversary registry. Our phone number is
found on every page of the anniversary registry site. Your friends and family can also use our
"Let Us Call You" service and customer service representatives will be happy to contact them.
How much does it cost to use the anniversary registry and celebration website?
We never charge a set up fee, and during the sign up process we are the only anniversary registry
that allows you to choose whether you'd like the 7% service charge to be added or deducted from
each gift amount. 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 friends and family.) The service charge covers your account management,
your anniversary web page, order processing, gift announcements, etc. This service eliminates other
typical registry costs, such as shipping and gift-wrap charges. Announcement, and gift cards are free,
and can be downloaded at any time. The anniversary registry saves your friends and family 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!). Friends and family from a distance can also give you a contribution
towards your anniversary with ease using their credit card over the internet, no shipping or lugging
gifts with them to your anniversary destination. Also, there is no hassle or embarrassment of returning
or exchanging unwanted gifts for you!
How do we notify our guests about this anniversary registry and celebration website?
We provide downloadable announcements for you at no charge to let your friends and family know about
your anniversary registry and celebration website (find under the link "Let Everyone Know".) Your friends
and family are great ways to help your guests learn about your registry. We can send out an email announcing
your registry to your selected email list. Make sure your family knows how special this is to you, ask
them if they would suggest the anniversary registry when guests ask what to get you. Get everyone involved
and remember that your guests really want to get you something you truly want and will remember forever.
The celebration website we give you is a great way for everyone to keep up to date on all the details about your anniversary and lets them feel a part of your special day. You can see a sample by clicking on the examples on the left under, “Celebration Websites”.

message on the top of my anniversary registry?
To post a message and photo on the top of your bridal registry, log in and go to “celebration website”.
You don’t have to fill in the whole thing, just load your photos and use the “special message” section only.
How am I notified of a purchase from my anniversary gift registry?
You receive an email notice to view your “Gift Announcement” that is filled out by the gift giver. Your
guests can also choose to print out this customized gift announcement with a personal message and a photo
of what they selected on your anniversary registry to hand to you. You can log on to your account at anytime
and go to “view gifts” to view your gift details, givers and the gift announcements. Guest can also post

When will I receive my gifts from my anniversary registry?
You can collect your anniversary gifts anytime as many times as you’d like just by emailing us or going
to the "Request Payment" link under "Manage your Gift Money" when you log in.. You can collect your gifts by:
Will you send the gift money from my anniversary registry to my travel agent or a travel supplier?
All gift money will be sent direct to you at your contact address or electronically – not to your travel agent,
hotel, resort or cruise line. Remember, you can email us at anytime to collect funds or go to “request payment”
after you log in.
What if one of the items uses a gift certificate? How do I know the difference?
Gifts using gift certificates are marked with a gold gift certificate button. For gifts where a Gift Certificate
has been purchased, you will be emailed the Gift Certificate for you to print and bring with you on your trip.
The Gift Certificate will be emailed to you at the time the purchase transaction takes place. If the item that
you choose does not have a gold gift certificate next to it, it does not utilize a gift certificate. If you do
not want any gift certificates just don’t select any of the items with a gold picture of a gift certificate next
to the title – you can’t miss it, if there’s no gold certificate it doesn’t use one.
Do you book the activities on my anniversary registry for me?
You have the freedom to choose whatever supplier for any gift you receive as we are not booking the item for you
just because it is listed on your registry. We always suggest asking your travel professional to help you with
reservations for your anniversary vacation or vow renewal.
When will my anniversary registry be active? When will my anniversary registry close?
Guests can view and give you a gift starting the first day you set up your anniversary
registry. Your anniversary registry will remain active 90 days after your anniversary.
What if we don't know where we are going but want to use a anniversary registry to start receiving gift money for
the anniversary trip or vow renewal?
If you have not booked your anniversary trip yet and are not sure where you are going we suggest setting up
as 'Undecided' or "It’s a Surprise!" you can always change this to the specific location for your anniversary
or vow renewal later. You can still list your wishes in a general way while you are planning.

Yes absolutely! All amounts will remain listed in US$. We ask that you use a PayPal account so that we can send
you money in a timely manner. PayPal does have currency conversion please see www.PayPal.com for all details and
service fee rates.
