Save A Bundle On A Cheap Honeymoon

Plan ahead, even before your wedding. Discuss what the two of you would enjoy doing.

Do you want to lounge on a tropical beach or go skiing?

Do you want to go on a cruise or get married in the same place you vacation?

Get clear about you ideas. This is a trip of a lifetime.

Traveling for a wedding? Make sure you get flight insurance to protect any flight issues and wedding gifts you may be bringing.

So how do you have a trip of a lifetime without spending your life savings?

Some of the most popular destinations are a good deal:

• Cruises

• All-inclusive resorts

• The Poconos

• Disney World

• California Wine Country

• Skiing in Vermont or Colorado

• Niagara Falls

• Las Vegas

Here are some other wonderful ideas:

• White water rafting

• An outdoor trip to a national park

• Cozy, romantic Bed & Breakfasts

Excellent money saving ideas:

• Pick a destination close to home and go by car. Go for a weekend and save even more.

Locations like:

• Disney World (That’s what we did. It was amazing-and I’ve been there 100 times before. Plus I got a Florida residence deal too.)

• New Orleans

• Smoky Mountains, etc.

More money saving tips for a fabulous cheap honeymoon:

• Go off season-in June

• Look in Sunday’s paper for honeymoon value packages

This is my favorite:

• Register with an airline for plane tickets as part of your wedding gift registry(who needs china!)

• Check online resources. Sometimes you can find great rates, sales and “last” minute deals (not for the faint hearted).

For a really cheap wedding/honeymoon...you could elope.

• Choose a destination wedding. They can be a real bargain. For example, Jamaica Super Clubs includes your wedding ceremony, flowers, music, paperwork, a short reception, champagne, cake and the honeymoon all for one price. It saves money and headaches.
