Traditionally, the entire
honeymoon is the groom’s financial responsibility. Once the initial decisions have been made by the two of you together, he should accept the responsibility of making all the arrangements.
Many times couples find it easier not to embark on their honeymoon immediately after the reception but to wait until the following week. You can spend the wedding night or weekend at a nearby hotel, resort or bed and
breakfast inn. This allows you to put off packing and other last-minute
pressures until after the wedding and also allows for flexibility in dealing with airlines and other schedules.
Even for a local overnight stay a
professional travel agency is your best ally. They should know all the rates and special packages available and there is no charge to you for their
service. You should begin making
your honeymoon plans as soon as you set your wedding date. If you need
passports or visas, check into that immediately.
If you are considering a cruise or tour, ask lots of questions and make sure you will be comfortable with
the age group you will be with.
Even resorts are sometimes geared to
different age groups.
Regardless of your budget, with careful planning and good advice you can have a wonderful honeymoon.
