Q. Why should people consider homosexual unions financially profitable?

A. Homosexual weddings may not be legal just yet, but commitment ceremonies occur regularly throughout the United States. According to statistics from Girlfriends magazine 31% of couples do intend to settle down into a committed relationship. Lesbians and homosexuals who choose to formalize their relationship spend an average of $15,000 on a wedding.

Q. What sorts of goods and services will homosexual couples purchase for their weddings?

A. Homosexual and lesbian partners who register with Rainbow Wedding Network, the first wedding gift registry specifically for the homosexual and lesbian community, purchase the same goods and services as heterosexual couples. Overall their commitment ceremonies very closely resemble heterosexual weddings and include, for example: invitations, jewellery (often custom), florists, wedding coordinators and planners, photographers, limousine services, reception halls, and wedding cakes. When it comes to entertainment, couples may opt for musicians, disc jockeys or something a little more unique; yet it is true that homosexual and lesbian couples want all of the same amenities and services. They spend a comparable amount of money to straight people and, like any proud couple, want their union to be a remembered 'event.'

Q. What attracts homosexual couples to a business when they look for goods and services for their weddings?

A. Most homosexual and lesbian couples want to work with businesses that will truly participate with them in the joy of the moment respectfully. This includes the process as well as the ceremony; for instance assisting with picking out just the right engagement ring with the professionalism and enthusiasm that such an occasion warrants. Homosexuals and lesbians often look for businesses advertised in homosexual publications or that openly support the homosexual community. If a business owner wishes to work in homosexual weddings, it is important to establish an advertising presence in local homosexual publications, to participate in homosexual-oriented events or to provide services at charities affiliated with the homosexual community. At the very least, displaying a rainbow flag on a website, marketing materials, or the actual place of business is an easy indication of a homosexual-friendly attitude and mentality.

Q. Are there other special needs or concerns for homosexuals and lesbians who are being married?

A. Homosexual couples look for a comfort zone when utilizing the services of a vendor. They also may want to employ some creativity in their approach. For example, a lesbian woman may want to purchase a wedding gown or she may prefer a tuxedo. At RainbowWeddingNetwork, advertisers are screened, and conversed with personally before signing on. Advertising contracts stipulate that discrimination based on sexual orientation will not be tolerated. If a representative of a company does discriminate against a homosexual couple, the Network immediately has the right to discontinue advertising.

Q. How lucrative is the homosexual honeymooning market?

A. Many people in the homosexual community like to pamper themselves, show off, and enjoy life. The spending trend which began with the ceremony continues with the honeymoon. Travel statistics show the American homosexual and lesbian community represents $47.3 million, or about 10% of the travel industry. Eighty-nine percent hold a valid passport, and 54% budget $3,000 + on a vacation. Not only does the community travel, it travels well and purchases a variety of services while vacationing, to broaden their holiday experience. Q. What considerations do homosexual honeymooners have when they select travel services and destinations?

A. Often homosexual and lesbian honeymooners will do business with a travel agent or travel services that work with openly homosexual couples, simply to insure that they can travel comfortably; not only enjoy themselves but moreover feel recognized as a couple having the full honeymoon experience.

Q. Is there other special advice to businesses that want to work with homosexual and lesbian couples?

A. It is most important to remember that homosexual weddings are not much different from heterosexual unions. These are two people in love who want to pay for respectful service. Treat homosexual unions as any other, and make certain there is good communication. Dialogue with your homosexual clients, as you would with any others.
