It’s hard to imagine spending another dime after the nightmare of expenses involved in planning the wedding of your dreams, let alone forking over thousands for a luxury honeymoon vacation. But after months of tireless planning, you will need to get away and spend some alone-time with your new hubby. Honeymoons can be as costly as a month-long excursion across Europe or as cost-efficient as a weekend getaway at your local B&B. With these budget travel tips, you can escape without sacrificing your ultimate goal: relaxation and reconnection.
Think Outside the Season –
Off-season does not necessarily equate to bad weather. Many tropical locations have ideal weather year-round, but rates soar upwards when cold climate residents are looking to escape the winter blues. If you want to hop on a flight immediately following your wedding, consider booking your honeymoon travel arrangements at an off-season location; if you have your mind set on a particular destination, be flexible with your either your wedding date or your departure date to reap big savings.
Consult an Expert –
Look to a professional to help you book your vacation – and enjoy big savings. Travel agents provide all sorts of money-saving expertise and can often access on-going sales or last-minute deals on honeymoon travel. They’ll work with you to find the best vacation packages to suit your preferences and budget.
Ask for a Helping Hand –
If time away is more important to you than a waffle iron, consider setting up a honeymoon registry. Many travel agents offer services to collect, record, and apply contributions from your guests toward honeymoon resorts and expenditures. Some even allow guests to contribute to specific activities at your destination location, such as scuba diving lessons or boat rides.
Do Your Research –
Don’t let your honeymoon take a backseat to the wedding planning process. Start thinking about your vacation once you have established a wedding date, and keep your eyes peeled for deals posted online or in the paper. Give yourself plenty of time to comparison shop. This complete honeymoon travel guide will help you get started.
Earn Rewards –
If your credit allows, open a credit card with the best frequent-flier and other travel rewards. Start charging your wedding-day expenses, and cash in on the bonuses for airline tickets, hotel rooms, car rentals, and other upgrades. Be careful here though; you should be able to pay off all expenditures at the end of every month to avoid finance charges and racked up debt. Also be sure to check black-out dates before making your travel arrangements.
Consider the Alternatives –
You aren’t bound by the typical island retreat when it comes to honeymoon options, but be sure to weigh the pros and cons of all your choices before booking. While all-inclusive resorts once carried a negative connotation with “mandatory fun” activities, their inclusive honeymoon packages afford you the luxury of a flat-rate and a carefree experience. Bed and breakfasts, on the other hand, offer romantic retreats at typically affordable prices, but can lack exclusive privacy. The point here is that you should do your research, discuss the types of honeymoon vacations available with your fiance, and decide which priorities take precedence. Our guide to honeymoon accommodations can help you weight the options.

Honeymoon travel-looking for credit cards with Airmiles to earn?We're looking for the best card for earning airmiles. We noticed some don't have an annual fee but I guess this is what we are mainly looking for: a card that has travel for 2 included not just the card holder taking in the ticket for flights. ANY IDEAS on cards in appriciated!

Awesome thanks for the upload!!! ^_^
It's not as easy to redeem airline miles you earn from credit cards as the commercials make it sound. The most generous rewards programs tend to have the highest interest rates; unless you are going to pay your credit card balance in full every month, the finance charges are going to be more expensive than the tickets are worth, very quickly. Most have annual fees of $75-150 or more, too. Plus the airlines are not all that generous with the number of seats they will let be "paid for" with credit card miles.
I'd recommend forgetting the mile rewards approach and look into some of the packages offered by the airlines. For example, USAirways and Northwest both offer package deals to many destinations; book your airfare and your hotel through the airline site and you save a good deal of money. That gets you a better hotel and your airfare for a smaller budget.
Seems you want a Romantic Honeymoon…And your idea is excellent.
In case you want a honey moon that would surprise you for lifetime….you may think about go as far as possible and as different as possible…such as Asia.
If money is no object then i would say a round the world ticket! Stop over at Far east such as Thailand or Hong Kong OR maybe Dubai and then fly to Sydney Australia , Ayers Rock and then Cairns with a stop on Heron island and then maybe fly to Brisbane and Los Angeles to UK (assuming UK is your home)
OR Island hopping in Thailand
OR Caribbean Cruise?
First of all, congratulations for the married. So, I guess its a really special date and deserves a good travel.
Well, if can suggest a real unique experience i had on travel, was Rio de Janeiro in Brazil South America, wow that city is amazing, the beaches, the natural beauties, the nightlife its the most complete destination i had meet in my life, the people there is welcoming, the climate… they have one of the 7 wonders of world(Corcovado), wikipedia has a good article about that city: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rio_de_Janeiro
And the hotels has a special packages for marry with special amenities and stuff like that.
And its a cheap trip too, cause the local money is lower than half dollar (01 dollar = 2,1500 Real), and contact good agencies there you can have even better prices, when i travelled there I use this guys: http://www.riodejaneiro-hotels.travel/
They are a local office of a global portal called WHL.travel… so is reliable source and you can count with a local team to provide support when necessary and its guarantee the real good known of the place too.
I hope I have helped.

You won't save any money booking through Expedia or Priceline. Your honeymoon is very important. You don't want it spoiled by a bad flight. Choose the airline that has the less demanding flight (preferably nonstop) from your home airport. Book the flight online from that airline's website. It will be the same price as booking through a travel agency or a so called discount site. If you are not members of that airlines frequent flier club, join. You will earn bonus miles and flight miles on your trip. Book the best seats available and check your account daily to change your seats as better ones become available. Have a great time!
look online on the sandals website and when you click on the rooms it tells you about them. they are all nice it just depends on what you want. price it online. THEN go to your local travel agency and talk to them. see which gets you the better price. sometimes its the travel agency and they can also get you free upgrades etc. by knowing people. if you do book it yourself tell everyone (lady at the ticket desk, rental car people, flight attendant, EVERYONE YOU TALK TO) that it is your honeymoon and you may score upgrades on your own
such a hilarious song…i like it Mr. Installed
excellent dance steps by menon uncle…nice one
I love Liberty Travel, they have the best prices. Their tour operator is Go Go Tours. Register with Liberty Travel and have no fears. My nephew registered with them for their honeymoon and all went well. Great gift idea. In fact they are having sales right now for travel to Cancun. Check their website.

We went to Cancun last year and Go Go Tours was cheaper than applevacations.
Enjoy and relax, they are good company.)
