What is a South African Airways Vacations honeymoon gift registry?

Instead of receiving a crock pot or a towel set, you could receive an upgrade on your honeymoon suite, a romantic dinner, or a contribution towards a safari as wedding gifts! Please note the registry is for couples based in the U.S., Canada or Mexico only.

Why should we use the South African Airways Vacations Honeymoon Registry?

Using the South African Airways Vacations Honeymoon Registry allows you to pre-plan what you want to do on your honeymoon or at your destination wedding. Using a honeymoon 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. Unlike getting envelopes with checks in them at the wedding and leaving the next day for your honeymoon trip, a honeymoon gift registry allows the gifts that you receive to be applied towards your honeymoon package or safari with SAA Vacations. You can register to get the word out early.

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

We charge a small service & handling fee to maintain a professional full service registry for you, your friends and family. This service & handling fee provides an ad free registry experience, wedding website and social networking tools, with the highest level of security, encryption and insurance. Our team is here to answer calls toll free, process checks and credit card transactions of your guests.

You may choose to have the service & handling fee added or deducted from each gift amount. Adding it to the transaction means that the purchaser will be charged a 9.65% service & handling fee at check-out. Deducting the service & handling fee will have the gift amount transfer at 7% less than the listed amount to you, with the gift purchaser paying a reduced service fee of 2.65%. If the fee is added to the gift, purchasers can receive a 2.65% discount if they choose to mail a check directly bringing the total service fee to 7%.

Guests from around the world can make a contribution towards your honeymoon with ease which means no shipping or carrying gifts with them to your wedding destination. Please feel free to call us with any questions.

What does the service & handling fee cover?

Service Fee BreakdownThe service charge covers your account management, unlimited fund transfers, coordination with partner resorts, cruise lines, and tour providers; your wedding web site, order processing, gift announcements, email wizard, merchant account fees (that we are charged) and toll free live customer service to assist your guests. We ensure that your guest's transactions are processed at the highest rate of secure SSL encryption, and protected by a $3,000,000.00 insurance policy against identity theft and fraud.

This is not simply a fee for processing monies; it's a fee so that we can continue to provide outstanding services for you. To run this registry company, we have a dedicated team, providing a high quality and professional service.

Store registries carry costs such as shipping, taxes and gift-wrap charges to cover the services. The service fee this registry charges is often less than these charges imposed on your guests. The honeymoon registry saves your guests time and gas with the comfort and convenience of purchasing their gift from their home or office. And, there is no hassle or embarrassment of returning or exchanging unwanted gifts for you!

How will I know how much to ask for?

When you set up your honeymoon registry, we provide a suggested gift amount for the vacation package or safari itinerary item per person based on double occupancy. However, you are free to change the price to accommodate guests who will be purchasing part of your vacation package or safari with South African Airways Vacations. We recommend using varied denominations and to check 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, the price is set at $1000 so you may ask for "80 gifts of $100.00" or "160 gifts of $50.00," etc.

For registries with items that are being booked for you or sent directly to you or your hotel, you will find the amount will be preset for you in differing increments.
