Some Lovely Honeymoon Tips and Tricks

There is no doubt wedding planning can be stressful. Between all of the decisions, budgets, and opinions of others it’s easy to get overwhelmed and sometimes the honeymoon can get put on the back burner. But, your honeymoon should be the icing on the cake to really spend quality time together as newlyweds! We want your honeymoon to be the trip of a lifetime, here’s a few tips to consider as you begin your planning:

Discuss your dream trip together
There will be so many people wanting to give their two cents, but at the end of the day it’s the two of you that will be taking the trip. So, sit down with your significant other and really talk about what kind of trip you had in mind and share the planning! This way the trip isn’t tailored toward one person, but both of you will end up with a vacation you’ll love.
 
Don’t Dawdle
In order to have the best options available to you, it’s best to book six to eight months or more in advance. Especially with resorts, the honeymoon customized rooms tend to book quick so the earlier the better! Plus you will have better luck with airline prices, seats and travel times.
 
Do Some Research
Yes, we live in the age of “just Google it.” Although with trip planning, internet research can be extremely time consuming and you won’t always find the hidden gems. The web can provide good ideas as you start your search, but nothing beats a professional agent with real experience and expertise answering all your questions and being there for you every step of the way!
 
Budgeting
Since weddings can get super expensive quick, it’s easy to want to move money away from the honeymoon budget. However, the honeymoon is the trip to start your life together and in many ways can be just as important as the ceremony itself. If you are not wanting a lot of house-warming wedding presents, consider a honeyfund and ask guests to contribute to your honeymoon trip instead. We did this and our guests loved gifting us $100 for a scenic tour vs. a set of china, they felt like they were a part of it!
