Sent straight to your US bank account with our free unlimited ACH bank to bank direct deposit. This is the most efficient and secure method. Funds will be available 1-2 business days after we process the payment.
OR
Have a check mailed to you via regular US postal service (We do not track check payments and can not be responsible for lost mail - a great reason to "Go Green" and use the bank to bank transfer service.)
Gifts may be collected at any time, as many times as you'd like. Gift funds, not requested, will automatically be sent 5 days before your honeymoon. Additional payments will be processed one business day after your honeymoon date.

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.
