Thomas Cook have just joined forces with online gift list company, Wedding Gift World, so that couples can add honeymoon vouchers to their gift list.

Wedding Gift World b2b comments, 'I love the fact that I can put a mixture of gifts and vouchers onto my list, especially as I know Auntie Alice want to buy us something she'll see in our home while friends are happy to contribute towards our honeymoon'.

As well as some fabulously romantic destinations, vouchers are also redeemable against other travel-related items such as airport parking and insurance.

GOING THE EXTRA HONEYMILE
Most travel agents are willing to make a gift list arrangement where guests can contribute to your honeymoon. Or, contact a specialist...

Travel Counsellors' bridal registry service works in the same way as a store list with a deposit of £10 to open a honeymoon account. They supply personalised gift cards (and freepost envelopes for guests' donations) to send out with your wedding invitations.

Africa specialists, Rainbow Tours, have a honeymiles service with online access and provide a personalised web page. You can also opt to support a local charity. Aaron and Sophie were going to South Africa for their honeymoon and chose to donate to the Imbasa School in a township near Cape Town.

Travel experts Trailfinders has a dedicated Wedding & Gift List team. Once you have registered, you receive personalised gift cards to send to friends and family. Keeping track of your list is just a matter of going online and two weeks after the list closes, you are sent a full guest list with messages and pledges.

Do you have any honeymiles on your wish list? Post a comment and let us know.
