Some tech-savvy wedding-goers are gifting the digital currency to new couples. Honeyfund, a honeymoon registry that allows guests to give cash rather than gifts, has seen more than a dozen customers donate in bitcoin, said chief executive officer and co-founder Sara Margulis. In recent years, more than a dozen customers have chosen to route donations to the site from bitcoin wallets. Zola, a wedding registry website, has had just two cash funds created for bitcoins since 2013, a spokeswoman said. "I would expect it to pop more as millennials come into the wedding age,” Honeyfund’s Margulis said. “It’s something you will do if your friends and family are already into bitcoin.

Bitcoin as an retirement plan, bitcoin to secure the future of your kids, and now bitcoin as a wedding gift. Whether or not bitcoin replaces cash in future, it looks like the trend of gifting bitcoin instead of cash at weddings is definitely going to catch up and more wedding registeries would be adding bitcoin as a gifting option.

Avoid using a wedding gift "as an opportunity to proselytize a technology you personally believe in, but the recipient could not care less about."

People who are not into bitcoin might not appreciate getting a volatile currency as a gift, and might never use it, thus adding it to the list of lost coins, but I think people who are already using bitcoin or would most probably use it in future then bitcoin instead of cash is the apt wedding gift for them.

Probably giving bitcoin as a term of gift implies to me that the person that was going to give that literally and absolutely have a plenty of bitcoin in his account. Although giving bitcoin as a term of gift for the newly weds will be beneficial, I cannot afford giving them as a term of gift because me myself cannot afford of having such a great count for my own. Possibly if I am that person having such a great count of bitcoin, why not give those newly weds a blessing to start up their future. So I guess I will give bitcoin as a gift for wedding. If and only if I do have plenty of bitcoin to give.

I would if I have plenty of bitcoin I would glady share it to some of my closets friends or a family that is newlywed as a gift. At least I will be helping them to start saving bitcoin this might give them motivation to start earning it too as well.

Yes! I did give Bitcoin as a wedding gift. That's with the knowing that the couple or one of them will know about it. Just ensuring it isn't going to be a waste and disregarded. It is really a big gift in disguise I would say. And this will also help put the couple in line of investment and another source of income for the newly started family.

I will choose different alternative than giving my very valuable investation asset (and we know it has tremendous potential) to others. Maybe I will give them an artwork as a gift for their wedding, in my opinion it’ll be more memorable than giving money.

Why not,  this is good idea , but not for now because bitcoin has not been widely known, maybe I will give wedding gift just around my community, who know bitcoin.
For me, i wont really give bitcoin. Why ? It is because of its unstable price and its popularity. Maybe if it will be more stable and known than it is now, well why not.

I don’t think so because Bitcoin is very valuable and its potential price growth, I would choose to give money than giving my investation assets.
But maybe if it’s for my son's wedding maybe I will give him for his use as an investation asset as well, not as money for his honeymoon.

Yes I will give bitcoin as a wedding gift as long as I have enough bitcoin in my wallet and if the couple are also bitcoin users. For me its convenient specially if you dont know what kind of gift you are going to give them. And bitcoin as a gift is a cool idea who knows by giving them bitcoin and by the time the price increases super high then you are able to help them financially.

I so wish someone will gift me some coins. It could lead to some lost coins, but if the one who gives it takes the time to educate the gifted about bitcoins, it could help with adoption. My feeling is assuming the price shoots up in a few years, assuming they forget all about the coins in the internet.
I also want to receive bitcoins as gift instead of giving it away but still if I have to give a gift to someone who is closer to me and is aware of bitcoins, I will show generosity and give him some amount of bitcoins. This way, they will have some financial support and the price will also increase with time.

For me its a yes for those who really knows bitcoins but if the newly wed did not know about it then I maybe the one to convert it into cash. I will not let them confused about bitcoins but if they are willing to listen and learn about it then I will teach them well.

this is an inspiring question, but in some places I have heard of a gift of bitcoin. But for the wedding category is still a little, but if we want the couple with the gift, that I think the option is good  Cheesy

This gives a good idea, by giving a gift of bitcoin is certainly very fun. Because, more and more the existence of advanced technology will surely be new in one's life and even can be used as their investment capital.

I will not give bitcoin for gift wedding, this is because bitcoin is anonymous so the recipient does not know who send bitcoin, better give me a real gift like honeymoon ticket.

Maybe I just give them some cash so they can buy whatever they want or they can use it to start a family.
In that way, I'm sure that they'll appreciate it than giving them a bitcoin.
And I don't want to give them hard time to think where they can spend it.

I will give it as a wedding gift if my wife in the future is a bitcoin user. Having 1 bitcoin is really awesome. Nowadays, it is really hard to own a bitcoin because it is now expensive.

It's also worth noting that brides and grooms are increasingly looking to make donations to charitable organizations in lieu of giving out wedding favors. I could totally see a charitable element being brought into this.

For example: for every wedding guest who gives bitcoin as a wedding present, the company gives 1% as a charitable donation to XYZ charity.
