subject: Tips For A Perfect Honeymoon Within Budget [print this page] Going on a honeymoon is obviously a momentous occasion. It is something that you want to remember for the rest of you life - in a positive way! However, that doesn't mean you need to spend a small fortune on it, especially after the money you are shelling out for your wedding. Not that you should necessarily go very cheap on your honeymoon either, but there are ways to have a great time and save some money along the way.
Wherever your honeymoon destination may be, from the Caribbean to Europe, you should try to visit in the off-season. If you are heading down South, travel during less expensive times of year such as the green season. If you are headed to Europe, travel from January through March when you can get rates as much as 60% off peak prices.
Cut it Short - No one says that your honeymoon has to be a week or two long. You can find a variety of 4-day/3-night packages that are relatively inexpensive, but still offer all the fun and romance of a longer honeymoon.
Get some sleep - Your wedding and honeymoon trip will be very exciting but you will also need to get plenty of rest so that you can enjoy them. Pack some items that will help you sleep while you are on your trip like some herbal tea, relaxing massage oil, or a book that always relaxes you.
Reserve a hotel
A good tip for couple who usually go on their honeymoon is that when you arrive at the hotel, you could tell the front desk that you are on your honeymoon. You dont know something good might surprise you two just because you let the people know that you are on your honeymoon. Some hotels might prepare a bottle of wine in your room of maybe a bouquet of flowers. Just dont forget to mention that you are on your honeymoon.
The majority of honeymooners prefer to enjoy the paradise beaches and cities like Rio de Janeiro, Buzios, Angra, Porto de Galinhas, Pipa, Salvador, Recife and Florianpolis. There are so many cities that the best idea is to pick 2 or 3 and spend some time enjoying and avoid to lose much time on transportation. In Rio Ipanema is very charming and a pleasant place to stay.
If you can, do not leave the day after the wedding. If you think planning a wedding is stressful and tiring, wait until your wedding day. The day itself will be filled with excitement, stress, and a plethora of emotions all at the same time. Many couples stay up late celebrating, and plan on sleeping on the plane, which unless is an extremely long flight, usually is not very restful. You will feel more refreshed and ready to go if you have at least a day of after wedding recovery.
Now, when it comes to saving money, as a honeymooner it is fairly easy to do. Try to book a honeymoon package which gives you a lot of extras but for a reasonable cost. There are plenty of hotels that cater to honeymooners, and they usually have some of the best destinations and deals available. Don't be afraid to ask for extra perks when you arrive as well; the worst they can say is no.
