Honeymoon Registry

[JennRN]

Has anyone ever seen this before?
My cousin is getting married next month and I just got an email from her maids of honor-not sure who all got the email, but anyway-it contained a link to their honeymoon registry, aka stuff we can buy them for their honeymoon-like, an upgrade to a suite, massages on the beach, etc. The email was encouraging us to do so.

I have never ever ever seen this done before. My gut reaction is that it's tacky as shit. The couple can afford their honeymoon (trust me, there is no $$$ issue)-so why the hell am I being asked to fund their honeymoon?? Is this a new trend that brides are doing?? Is it acceptable?
I mean-really, it probably shouldn't annoy me as much as it is, but I think it's the rudest thing. Buy me a shower gift, and wedding gift, and honeymoon gift?? NO. Fund your own shit.

Ok, vent over.(It's been a bad week). But I was just curious if this is a new thing??
