Wedding gift list (holiday vouchers)
Discussion
I am getting married in October and putting together ideas for a gift list. We do not need anything for the house so the ideal thing would be vouchers to book a great holiday next year. We normally use Expedia so we can put the trip together but cannot see anything on their website. Does anyone know of any travel company that offers a service whereby guests can pay into a holiday fund? Thanks
On a personal note I don't like lists for weddings. We got asked to a wedding recently and like you they had a house and everything they needed. Believe it or not they asked for money to put to their holiday.
If they has said, we don't want anything as we have everything, I think people would stick some cash in an envelope anyway and wouldn't have had everyone calling them chancings bastatrds.

Nice idea, however.....
Travel companies (online and bricks and mortar) are under a lot of pressure financially so I would be wary of holding a pile of vouchers purchased by various different people. Firstly credit card insurance only lasts so many days and it would be hassle going back to the purchasers for them to claim of their credit card companies

I've never been to a wedding that didn't have a list. You know people will buy a gift so you can at least make sure it's something you want. Good idea re Trailfinders, I remember another couple using them now.If they has said, we don't want anything as we have everything, I think people would stick some cash in an envelope anyway and wouldn't have had everyone calling them chancings bastatrds.
We went the holiday voucher route (despite personal misgivings), and it's far more hassle than it's worth. And as said - you're taking the risk that the company folds.
In hindsight, I reckon the best way is to direct people to the parents of the bride (if involved) who can collect donations.
Or: John Lewis vouchers.
