Whether you wait one day after or a year after your wedding to go on your honeymoon, don’t wait to book it!
Decide on where you want your honeymoon along with your other wedding decisions. Remember, rooms and flights fill up just as quickly as reception halls. The sooner you book, the cheaper the price – plus you’ll have more options.
I had a bride who wanted to wait at least 6 months after their wedding to go on their honeymoon so they could save up money for it. However, every day they waited the price on airfare went up, rooms filled, and the couple kept changing their minds on whether or not to even go.
So here’s an idea: Create a honeymoon registry! There are many different sites in which you could do this (honeyfund.com, honeymoonwishes.com, aftertheidos.com), just like you would a bridal registry. From personal experience -after visiting 17 different resorts- Sandals is the most amazing place to take a honeymoon! What can be better than climbing a waterfall, ziplining in a jungle, relaxing by crystal clear water, or being waited on hand and foot? Oh, that’s right, it’s all inclusive! They even have an awesome honeymoon registry.
So instead of your guests just giving you money or buying you items you’ll never use, they can put their money toward an experience you’ll remember for the rest of your life – and might not get to do again. And the best part is, you’re not paying for it! Then you can book it months in advance so you’re getting the best price, flight, and room. Plus, you’ll know its coming so you can’t back out – you’ll be committed to the trip and you’ll be so glad you went. Most couples who choose to wait to book, never actually go. Don’t skip out on your well-needed, always-dreamed-about honeymoon!
