Just as everyone wants their wedding day to be exactly as they\u2019ve always imagined it being, so getting the honeymoon right is equally important. This is, after all, likely to be one of the most memorable holidays you\u2019ll ever take, your first as a married couple, and it will probably account for a significant part of your wedding budget too.<\/p>\n

So how do you plan the perfect honeymoon? Just follow this process\u2026<\/p>\n

Timing Is Everything<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before you do anything else, you need to know how much time you have, and what time of year you can go. Many newly married couples will postpone their honeymoon for a few months, and just take a short weekend getaway, a \u201cmini-moon\u201d if the timings aren\u2019t convenient. You may have a busy period at work coming up, or want to wait until flight and hotel prices are a little less expensive.<\/p>\n

There is also the fact that many destinations are best-visited at certain times of year. If you\u2019re getting married in August, for instance, and you\u2019re planning a honeymoon in the Bahamas, then you will be going right in the middle of hurricane season if you leave straightaway. Perhaps it would be better to leave the honeymoon until later in the year.<\/p>\n

Another important factor to consider here is the amount of travel time involved in your honeymoon. If you can only get away for a week, is it really worth going all the way to New Zealand, and spending two days of your precious time in transit?\"dominik-scythe-193114\"

Getting hitched can be a costly business. In the UK, the average cost of a wedding is around \u00a326,000<\/a>. If you have expensive tastes, or a lot of family and friends to entertain, you may not have a lot of money left over for your honeymoon.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why it\u2019s vital to ensure your honeymoon is included in your overall wedding budget, and to keep an eye on inflating costs. If you can make a saving here or there without impacting on the quality of your arrangements, then why not keep the money for your holiday.<\/p>\n

If you do find yourselves short on funds, there are options. Again, there is the possibility of a short break straight after the wedding, before you start saving for your real honeymoon. Or you can also ask guests to contribute a little cash towards the cost of your holiday in lieu of gifts. This is very common nowadays and there\u2019s no shame at all in suggesting it. In fact many people would be relieved at such an easy solution to finding a wedding gift<\/a>!\"dmitri-popov-203436\"

Deciding where to go on honeymoon is often the most difficult part of the process for many couples. You need to find somewhere that you both want to visit, which if you share different interests when on holiday, can be tricky.<\/p>\n

A good way to approach it can be to think about what kind of honeymoon experiences<\/a> you want to have while you\u2019re away. Perhaps if one of you loves beach holidays while the other likes cultural city breaks you could consider somewhere that offers both such as Barcelona or Miami. If you want a bit of luxury but also somewhere with an interesting foodie scene you might want to try somewhere like Thailand or India, both of which have many pampering spas ideal for honeymooning couples<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Another aspect to think about is where you want to stay. This obviously ties in with the budget, but you may also need to consider whether you\u2019re going to remain in one location throughout your honeymoon, or travel around a bit.<\/p>\n

Remember that you don\u2019t need to go down the traditional glamorous honeymoon route of beaches, palm trees and boutique hotels. It\u2019s your trip of a lifetime, and you should choose where to go and what to do based on your shared passions, not what you think others expect of you.\"rawpixel-com-191102\"

One final tip when ensuring your honeymoon runs smoothly – be sure to book your flights and hotels in the same name as your travel documents. It\u2019s not unknown for forgetful couples to book everything in their new married names and get caught out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
