Honeymoon Tips

There's need to break your bank to plan your honeymoon! Having a wedding can be one of the most costly things that you ever have to do. At that point, paying for an expensive honeymoon is probably not the most exciting pro...spect. But traveling the world doesn’t have to be as pricey as you think. Check out these tips to help plan the getaway of a lifetime without digging yourself into debt doing it!

1) Groupon - Groupon is a quick and easy way to find deals on trips all over the world. You can frequently find up to 12-day tours and vacations (including airfare) cut down to half the price or more on the website. All you have to do is simply buy the coupon for the price asked.

2) High Season vs. Low Season - When you travel also greatly influences the cost of your honeymoon. Every destination has a high season and a low season when prices reflect demand. In the Caribbean, for example, high season runs from mid-December through mid-April, the coldest months in the Northeast, the Caribbean's biggest market. Low season coincides with hurricane season, from June through November. In Europe, high season falls during the summer months when both price and crowds are at a peak.

3) Consider A Honeymoon Registry - Here's how it works: Some travel agencies and tour operators offer a registry service by which they collect, track, and apply contributions from your wedding guests toward your honeymoon expenses. Some services, such as www.honeyluna.com, even allow guests to "sponsor" specific activities such as a sunset cruise, scuba trip, spa treatment, or meal at a romantic restaurant.

4) There Are Other Variables - Many variables can make a destination a dynamite deal, including a weak local currency (Mexico and Canada, for instance) or heavy tourist traffic (Jamaica and Puerto Rico). Other surprises such as weather disasters (tsunamis in the Pacific, hurricane damage in the Caribbean, earthquakes in Turkey) cannot be planned in advance but have the same cost-cutting effect.

5) Do Your Own Cooking - Book a condo or villa with cooking facilities, where you can whip up your own meals for two whenever you get the munchies. Be sure to pack candles and your favorite tunes for romantic ambience.
