Many young couples that are now tying the knot are seeking out experiential wedding gifts rather than physical goods for the home—as such, leading honeymoon registry Honeyfund and Target are teaming up.
As well as being able to gift a variety of essential home goods from Target, wedding guests will now be able to give couples the gift of honeymoon experiences, flights, dinners and more through Honeyfund—all from the same convenient Target Registry.
The all-new complete registry experience offers the best of both worlds for those who are looking to acquire both intangible experiences and physical products. The updated Target Registry app includes a variety of registry management tools, as well as checklists and in-store scanning capabilities.
