Happy Tuesday everyone. We hope you all enjoyed the beautiful heatwave New Jersey had this weekend! The weather inspired today's blog.
Going on a honeymoon is the icing on a cake to a beautiful wedding (and a big reward for all that stressful planning!). Here are some tips from us to consider:
1) Keep in mind the times of "peak season". You will be paying more to go to a tropical island in January than you would in May.
2) Hurricane Season!! Ok, so this is really an extension from point 1. New Jersey knows all too well this year about Hurricane Irene and the complications and delays that can affect your wedding. Booking a honeymoon during this time period can be scary but not impossible. Going to a beautiful island is not out of the question. Just know where the hurricane borders are and the places that rarely get hit by them, like Aruba for example.
3) Think of your heritage. Are you from a big Italian family? Or maybe you have a European background. Visiting these countries for your honeymoon is a great way to learn more about your heritage and a beautiful backdrop for pictures!
4) Think All Inclusive. I know this may sound like a no brainer, but places like Hawaii, although extremely beautiful, rarely have all inclusive packages. Choosing a destination that has everything included allows you to sit back and really relax on your honeymoon instead of worrying about the money factor right after your wedding. And less face it, you already spent a lot for the wedding of your dreams. The honeymoon should be the "de-stresser" from all that planning!
5) Plan to leave mid week. There are so many travelers over the weekend. If you leave during the week, you can avoid all that craziness at the airport, adjust a little bit to married life and get a great deal too!
6) Think in the States. Maybe you can't afford to go to a tropical island at the moment. There are many gorgeous places right here in the states that you can go to and have just as amazing of a time. What about a spa resort in Arizona? Or even visit the beaches of Virginia Beach and San Diego.
Wherever and whenever you decide to go, we know you will have an amazing time. And we can't wait to see the pictures!
XOXO,
Aelicia & Rachael
