Depending on the time you and your groom may have to spend together
and the amount of your budget, you may be able to take an official honeymoon. If this is not possible,
you should at least try to spend a few days after the ceremony
to relax with each other and unwind.
You’ve probably
had little time to spend
together during
all of the planning, working
and tension you’ve endured to ensure
your wedding was a perfect
occasion.
Traditional wedding
etiquette states
that the groom is the one to handle the honeymoon details but these days most couples
plan their honeymoon together.
For best rates, you should
book your honeymoon at least 6 to 8 months in advance.
If you will be traveling during the holiday
seasons or peak periods
such as spring or winter
break, it’s a good ideal to make your reservations as soon as you have set the wedding date. During off seasons, sites will be less crowded and quieter. Also,
you could save up to 50%!
The average
honeymoon will cost between
$3,000 and $5,000. You will want to create
a budget to determine how much you can afford to spend and to determine
where you both will want to go.
Planning your honeymoon:
Keeping in mind the amount of time you can take from work or school
along with your budget,
in deciding
where you both want to go. Look through
travel magazines, the newspaper (larger
cities have travel sections), and the travel sections of the library or bookstore
or surf the Internet to get some ideas on where you both would like to go.
Once you have narrowed down your choices,
enlist the help of a good travel agent.
A good agent will take the time to meet with you and explore all of your options. He or she can help you make the final decision on where you want to go. He or she can recommend
the best and cheapest airfares, the best places to stay as well as give you tips on the things
to do and what to take with you. Be sure to ask about any honeymoon
packages or all-inclusive packages.
They may seem expensive up front but they may save you on the cost of meals and activities. Use the form “The Honeymoon Itinerary” at the end of this section to plan and record
your activities.
Wherever you decide
to go, you’ll have a great time simply because
you’re together.
Your first night together:
Many couples decide
to spend their
first night together in a honeymoon suite
near the reception location especially if they had an evening wedding.
If this is something that you are planning
to to do, reserve
something special. You may want to let the manager
or reservation desk know its your wedding night
and you may find a bottle
of champagne or something else special waiting for you.
Helpful Hints:
·
Carry the names, addresses, and phone numbers of both of your families in case of an emergency.
·
Leave a copy of your itinerary with both families
in case they would need to reach you.
·
Take your driver’s
license, marriage certificate, and passport/visa, if needed.
·
Carry very little cash and put most of your money in traveler
checks for security
reasons.
·
Carry national credit cards for things
such as car rentals.
·
Label your luggage inside and out with your names, address, and phone number.
·
Make a list of your luggage contents,
as it will be useful
for claiming any losses,
if necessary.
·
Make sure you have homeowner’s or renter’s
insurance that covers your belongings.
·
Don’t forget
to bring your camera
to ensure you will capture
all of the wonderful
moments of your special time together.
