Nov. 3, 2008 - PRLog -- Great Hotels of the World (http://www.ghotw.com) and Special Hotels of the World (http://www.shotw.com) representing some of the finest and most luxurious independent hotels worldwide are now offering a free-to-use honeymoon registry on their recently launched new websites.

Families and friends can interactively contribute to a dream honeymoon with Great Hotels of the World and Special Hotels of the World. This service is perfect for discerning couples looking for a unique and exciting alternative to traditional wedding gifts.

It is simple to use and there are no set-up fees.  Honeymooners can create their own personalised webpage for friends and family to view by uploading photos and writing a personalised welcome message.  Once registered, the couple can pick their dream honeymoon destination from the Great Hotels of the World and Special Hotels of the World portfolio of luxury hotels, and add this to their account.  The couple can then invite their friends and family to contribute towards their chosen honeymoon with the easy to use “manage your invites” tool.  Contributors can leave their own message on the couple’s mini-site and they can watch their funds grow with the novel “rising heart” feature.

Great Hotels of the World and Special Hotels of the World now also feature a free specialist honeymoon planning service. Honeymooners can speak to a specialist on +44 (0) 20 7380 3658, use the online chat service or email honeymoon@ghorg.com if they require any help with their honeymoon registry or selecting the perfect honeymoon destination.
