Honeymooning in Ireland
Elea & Mark (Madison, AL)

"I just wanted to say thanks for a wonderful experience. During times like these it is nice to know that there is at least one thing you don't have to worry about. After researching several honeymoon registries I knew I had found the right one when you were so quick to answer all my initial questions and flexible enough to easily handle our personal situation. Since we were marrying in Jamaica, honeymooning in Ireland several months later and having pre and post wedding celebrations it was important to us to leave our registry open as long as possible. The feedback that we received from our friends and family was great. Even those that are not computer savvy found the process fairly easy and had fun picking a honeymoon adventure to contribute to. I am looking forward to the trip and can't wait to use your service to share our honeymoon pictures with everyone who helped make it happen. Thanks again!"

Honeymooning in Ecuador
Jennifer & Thomas (Houston, Tx)

"Dear Giftpile Crew,
I came across your company by searching honeymoon registries online. At the same time I was exploring the Frommer’s website to find a cool place to honeymoon. Not only did you guys come up on my search, but you were backed by Frommers as well... you were exactly what I wanted – a flexible honeymoon registry that wouldn’t charge my guests for your services and that would cut me a check at the end of it all. I asked you all to help me brainstorm activities for Ecuador...and within an hour you sent me lots of information. I think what was the most pleasing experience with your firm was your continual follow through. You guys cared without even knowing me, but more importantly you cared even after I paid the bill to your firm. Thanks for your great work ethic and your commitment to making my husband to be and I happy customers! We are very happy!

I usually say "You guys rock!" but wanted to express my profound gratitude for your total customer service beyond my expectations... "

The Big Day: July 2006
Honeymooning in Russia and Norway
Randi & Jeff (Medford, MA)

"We had a great experience with Giftpile -- not only did lots of friends and family members use the gift registry, but those who were uncomfortable or who did not have online access still got the message that we didn't want/need "stuff" and instead contributed to our honeymoon via personal check at the wedding. So, both online and off, the honeymoon registry was a success. Thanks so much -- you guys have been phenomenal to work with. :-). Thank you, Giftpile!"

The Big Day: July 2006
Honeymooning in Negril, Jamaica
Jamie & Gene (Lubbock, TX)

"We loved the idea of a honeymoon registry because we were both established individually, and didn't need the usual necessities that a newly wed couple does. The registry was easy to set up, the staff was very helpful, the service was extremely prompt, and we had a blast in Jamaica!!! Thank you so much Giftpile!"

The Big Day: June 2006
Honeymooning in Koh Samui, Thailand
Cara & Kevin (Stuart, Florida)

"We had mentioned to Giftpile how nice it would be to have a way of indicating to our friends and family which activities on our honeymoon registry were 'Sold Out' so that items wouldn't be double or triple purchased, and so that guests could see what we still needed. Well, Giftpile listened. Giftpile made activities that received the max gifts gray text with the words 'sold out.' Thank you! It was so nice to know our feedback was heard. As for the honeymoon, it rained in Thailand but we weren't there for the sun anyway. Our WHOLE honeymoon was paid for - and then some - and so we were able to up the luxury factory on everything, including a Grand Villa at the resort in Koh Samui that was like our huge, private beach house. We had a blast, thanks to Giftpile! Feel free to go to www.familyclark.com to view our wedding and honeymoon photos"

The Big Day: April 2006
Honeymooning in Bora Bora, Tahiti, Moorea
Julie & Francis (San Francisco, CA)

"We had a honeymoon registry with Giftpile and it was a great idea, since we already had all the usual household items that people usually register for. Our guests were able to purchase gifts for our honeymoon (for example sunset dinners, bottle of champagne,etc.) online and we receive a check with the total amount donated... with an itemized list of all gifts - including the addresses of who bought your gifts. This makes writing Thank You cards so much easier! Also, you will receive special cards from Giftpile that you can insert into your invitations so that your guests know where you are registered.

Feedback from our guests was all positive! Even our extended family from overseas were able to access the site and purchase gifts! The Giftpile service is great and very professional. Maya and her staff have been very helpful and whenever we wanted to make a change to our registry she was very accommodating and had a very quick turnaround.

Furthermore, and most importantly, I would like to say that this is the best deal online. We made comparisons and the best part about Giftpile is that they do not charge a percentage of every gift donated like other similar companies. All you pay is the initial fee, and at the end you receive the total amount donated. I would highly recommend this site to anyone who is considering a honeymoon registry!"

Our guests also enjoyed the registry - many had been to Paris and were excited for us as they read through the list. In addition to the registry, many of them also bought us Paris travel and French language books. We researched all of the honeymoon registries available on the web, and yours was by far the best. Congratulations on such a successful business!"

Got to do more than we ever could have

"Having our family and friends contribute to our Hawaiian honeymoon was so much fun. Everyone got to give a gift that was personal to them: one uncle who loves fishing gave us a deep sea fishing trip, another uncle who is a big golfer gave us a day of golfing. Some of our crazy friends gave us mountain biking and kayaking trips, and our romantic moms gave us sunset dinners and honeymoon suites! We got to do more than we ever could have on our own budget, and loved Hawaii so much, we decided to move here! Without GiftPile, we never would have been able to get here."

Some of our family members were so excited about the destination of our honeymoon that they gave generously to one particular item. We also received many compliments from our gift givers who personally talked to Maya on the phone. She was a pleasure to work with and always got things done in a efficient manner. Don't miss out on the best gift you will receive on your wedding day!"

Honeymooning in Italy
Anya & Jeffrey (San Diego, CA)

"I did some shopping around for a registry website and even considered hosting my own registry website for our wedding. I decided on Giftpile due to their flexibility in payment options and because I believe it will be the most cost-effective option in the end. Furthermore, you can call up and talk to Maya to ask her questions; not all 
services are as available. For some of the people in our family, the ability to call up and make the transactions over the phone instead of only online is a big plus. So far we have been very satisfied and Maya has been very responsive to our requests. I sent her a list of additional items to add to our registry and she added them in a very short period of time."

"Your service has been fantastic. The site looks so good and we are getting a lot of positive feedback. I think we will be bringing you a ton of business in the future b/c none of my friends are married and they ALL said they would register for a honeymoon before traditional registry."

Put our friends and family at ease

"Giftpile has wonderful customer service. They were fast, efficient and always friendly. Our honeymoon registry site looked so good and we got a lot of positive feedback from our friends and family. They put our "not so technically" inclined friends and family members at ease so that they would feel safe giving gifts online. Traveling means a lot to my husband and I and we really appreciated Giftpile.com offering the service to collect and organize the gifts and create thank you lists for us. I will always be a loyal customer and plan on bringing them a ton of business in the future b/c none of my friends are married and they ALL said they would register for a honeymoon before a traditional registry."

Honeymooning in The Big Island, Hawaii
Dawn & Dean (Alexandria, VA)

"We researched several honeymoon registry sites and chose Giftpile, for
its personal touch. Since we are both in our thirties, we already have
two of every household item you could possibly need...we thought the
idea of a honeymoon gift was more practical. We could not be more
pleased with our Giftpile experience - - Maya's customer service ethic
and responsiveness to our needs, went above and beyond. Thanks! We will
definitely recommend you to other couples looking for an alternative
registry."

The Big Day: August 2003
Honeymooning in Cuba
Amina & Trita (Washington, DC)

"I think that you certainly have an advantage compared to other similar companies that I have looked at since your prices are more humane! Your website is very sophisticated! I think your site looks great and I look forward to some nice honeymoon gifts...Both Trita and myself were just saying how happy we are with your work!"

"We have a honeymoon registry with Giftpile and it was a great idea, since we did not want a lot of gifts that we have no use for, especially since our wedding took place overseas. People purchased gifts to our honeymoon (for example sunset dinners, scuba dives etc.) online and then we got a check sent to us on the total amount donated...You will receive special cards by Maya that you can send to your guests and then they can visit the Giftpile site themselves. Our guests thought this was a great and unique idea, instead of buying cutlery and china. The Giftpile service is great and very professional. Maya has been very helpful and whenever we wanted to make a change to our registry she was very accommodating. Furthermore, and most importantly I would like to say that this is the best deal online, I have made comparisons and the great thing with Giftpile is that they do not charge a percentage of every gift donated like other similar companies. All you pay is the initial fee, and at the end you receive the total amount donated."

They only charge a minimal flat fee which you can't find anywhere else. Our guests found it so easy to do the gift purchase - from the comforts of home or by calling. The check was delivered on time. We do highly recommend Giftpile. Maya is such a reliable and easy person to work with."

Honeymooning in the Caribbean island of St Maarten
Tayra & Roberto (Burke, VA)

"...enjoyed using your service, Giftpile.com. I did a lot of research before selecting, and your service is by far the best!!! You have been very professional throughout. You answered all my concerns immediately. The service doesn't charge a fee to the donators for making donations which most other registries do. We received a check of the donations immediately after our honeymoon. We used the registry announcements inserted them into a note sent by my matron of honor. The service sent out emails to my friends and family also. Our honeymoon was wonderful. Our friends and family contributed to our honeymoon to make it an unforgettable and blissful time in the Caribbean and your site made it happen. (The older folks just gave us money or checks). Thanks to Maya (Giftpile.com) and my matron of honor for making our wishes known to our family and friends. Thanks, Tayra P.S. you even made my hubby a believer in the HONEYMOON REGISTRY."

Honeymooning in Portugal
Shalane & Christopher (Irving, TX)

"The registry looks great! We had our honeymoon shower on Friday and have another shower this Saturday. The concept was very well received and people really enjoyed checking out our tour! ... I'm looking forward to seeing the action this week! Checking the website has become a daily addiction!! ...You may mention to future registrants that the best way to get a lot of donations is to MARKET IT!!! We have told everyone about the idea and how much we really wanted donations towards it. Everyone has really enjoyed the concept. We are 28 & 32 and have all the household goods we need and our friends and family really related to that. Also, having a HONEYMOON SHOWER really helped. The hostess did not promote the idea on the invitations as I would have, but they gave us an awesome basket filled with books, playing cards, champagne, travel candles, golf balls, etc."
