The Honeymoon

   

 

Make sure you buy your tickets in your maiden name.  This will save future costs when you need to change the name on your ticket in order to travel (when checking in you need to show proof of ID, and your ID will still be in your maiden name).

Set up a “honeymoon registry” where your guests contribute to the cost of your honeymoon instead of giving you gifts.  Flight Centre run these registries and there are also some online companies who do the same.  This can be nicer than placing money in an envelope.

Go somewhere local to save on transportation costs.  The purpose of your honeymoon is to spend time with your new spouse, so does it really matter if it’s 100, 1000 or 10,000 kilometres away?

Weddings are so expensive already, so choosing to have a short break and then saving for a more extravagant holiday a year or so later will enable you to save more.

Go somewhere where there isn’t a lot to do.  You will be so tired after your wedding (and the build up to the wedding) that they last thing you will feel like doing is sight seeing.  Going somewhere where there are limited attractions that you have to pay entry fees for will also save you a dollar or two.

Whenever booking your accommodation manage to slip into the conversation that it’s your honeymoon.  You are guaranteed to get free chocolates, wine, or even dinner thrown in!

Actually, mention it all throughout your honeymoon as well.  When flying you will get free drinks from the air stewards, when dining you will get free champagne from the restaurant manager, when going on a tour you will get discounted rates or an upgrade … use it where ever you can!

International flights are normally discounted the most in January and February for travel until the 31 March.  If you are getting married in this timeframe, waiting until the new year to book your tickets might save you.
