SendUsPacking helps couples on a budget honeymoon in style

SendUsPacking.com is a service that helps honeymooners pay for their trip by asking friends and family to contribute towards the cost, which is a perfect solution for the credit crunch.

With more couples getting married later in life there is a less pressing need to organise traditional wedding gift lists. Most couples already have all the household items that they need so, as an alternative to toasters and extra sheets many are taking the opportunity to ask wedding guests to contribute towards the cost of the honeymoon. SendUsPacking offers an online service to help manage this process by allowing couples to organise their itinerary and then take online payments towards the total honeymoon bill.

Couldn't have done it without SendUsPacking:”The whole concept is brilliant. We had a wonderful honeymoon and would never have been able to afford it without SendUsPacking. People loved the fact that they were able to buy particular components of our holiday which gave it a much more personal feel. “
Nick - August 2008

Nichola Ealson, Managing Director of SendUsPacking.com says: "My husband and I came up with the idea when we were scouring the internet looking for someone to help us organise our honeymoon. Nobody was able to assist us, so we developed the site believing that there was a gap in the travel market for this product …we also made it user friendly because we knew it would be people like our parents who would be using it!"

SendUsPacking.com is the simple to use, highly secure online honeymoon gift list service. For customers, it takes the embarrassment out of asking for money instead of presents and is perfect for all budgets, from honeymooning in the British Isles, to a fortnight in Bora Bora.
