How do you present your honeymoon fund so it doesn’t look tacky? Just in the save the dates or just in the invite or both? Also do you share your knot wedding page with people not attending the wedding? I know this sounds silly I’m just trying to be appropriate.

We included the honeymoon fund on our wedding website (we used the Knot), and it was just there alongside other things we registered for. We did not share the website with people who weren't invited to the wedding though, that felt too weird. I think honeymoon funds are so popular now that nobody will bat an eye. But soliciting gifts from people who aren't invited might bother some people lol

I second all of this. We did the same thing. I had one person give money to my honeymoon fund who wasn’t invited to the wedding, but they got the info from a friend. I also had a few people from my church get us stuff off of the registry, which I assume they found by Googling.

Just include it as one of the items on your registry and list where you are registered on the invite. Nothing goes on the save the date besides a link to your website, which should have a tab to your registry. There are 3 primary sites everyone uses, so anyone not invited who wants to gift can easily find you. Rarely do you get gifts from people not invited. Every once in a while, I might send a check and a card to one of my daughter's close high school buddies where we didn't get an invite, but she did.

We did not submit our honeymoon fund and went really low budget. We got married at West Point, which is where my husband and I grew up in High School and then he later graduated from. In being low-budget and young, we went to NYC and stayed for a few days. My in laws donated to that fund but we did not broadcast in any registries. We shared our wedding page with people that were invited to the wedding and no one else. To be honest, if people are not invited to the wedding, no one else cares about the details and have no desire to send gifts and I get why. Typically guests give money to cover their plates during the dinner. Not a silly question... there is a lot that goes into wedding planning and it can seem like the biggest thing in the room.

We also included our honeymoon fund on our website and our save the dates but not the actual wedding invites. Its so common these days I don't really think anyone thought it was tacky. We shared the website with everyone that we invited even if they weren't able to make it.

GoFundMe then post on Facebook… Say, “Honeymoon please”, “Honeymoon b*tches!”, “Honeymoon Fun D Me”, “Honeymoon light”, “Light Honey, Moon Light”, or “Honeymoon Tight”

What’s the best way to make your email stand out to a recruiter?

I’m reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
