Tips For a Winning Entry
1. Be Specific
Share the detail only you could tell—the unexpected moment, the inside joke, the thing you still talk about.
2. Let the Emotion Through
Don't just describe what you did, but share what it meant. How did the trip change you as a couple?
3. Share Clear Photos & Videos
This goes for your trip photos and videos and your audio/video question responses. Good light, steady shots, and moments that feel genuine go a long way!
4. Make it Cohesive
Your responses and visuals should feel like one story, not separate answers to separate questions.
Why We're Doing This on National Honeymoon Day
National Honeymoon Day celebrates a simple truth: couples who travel together, stay together. It's something we noticed during our 20 years of making dream honeymoons happen. So we made it our mission: Honeyfund makes honeymoons happen and helps couples continue to keep their love strong through ongoing travel.
The research backs it up. 84% of couples who rate their marital satisfaction as "Excellent" travel together regularly, and couples who honeymooned report higher satisfaction years into their marriage than those who didn't. Your honeymoon wasn't just a trip. It was the beginning of a life you're still building together.
That's why we're inviting every couple to share their story on the day that belongs to you. And if the travel bug never really left, it doesn't have to. Honeyfund's Anniversary Fund makes it easy for your friends and family to send you back.
Still planning your honeymoon? Start your Honeyfund registry so the people who love you can help make it happen.
Real Couples, Real Stories
A honeymoon is more than just a trip. It's your first adventure as a married couple and the beginning of a new chapter together. More than 1.6 million couples have used Honeyfund to make their dream honeymoon possible, with the support of the people who matter most. These are a few of their stories, and exemplify what we're hoping you'll share with us!
Amber & Tanner
"Our honeymoon definitely brought us closer together. I grew up a Disney fan—I've been 15 times. My husband had never been until he met me. We stayed at Animal Kingdom Lodge with a balcony room, and every single morning we got to sit out and spot animals. Sharing that with him for the first time was so special."
Julia & Justin
"This trip unlocked something in us and opened our eyes to the world that is out there. Going forward, we really want to prioritize travel and exploring new places together and kind of frame our lives around that. It opened up a whole new door to our relationship and our future together."
Stefanie & Anthony
"We adopted a dog for the day from one of the ASPCA shelters on Kauai. We took him to the beach, ran with him, drove around the coastline with this big happy dog in the backseat. It was a way for us to give back while also giving our time to a dog who was in need."
Raysean & Melissa
"Our honeymoon allowed us to have some uninterrupted time after all of the wedding chaos and life that was happening in between. Six days of just time together was amazing."
Sarah & Nate
"We absolutely loved our wedding, but our honeymoon was truly the cherry on top. The honeymoon is what really gave us time to soak in the fact that we are turning the page. I cannot imagine having started this next phase of our relationship without having gone on this honeymoon."
Honeyfund Made it Happen
After their wedding, Tanji and Markos set off on a journey that was years in the making, celebrating with family in Albania before honeymooning in Italy. With support from friends and family through Honeyfund, they were able to turn a meaningful trip into an unforgettable one.
