Stunning honeymoon destinations do not have to cost an arm and a leg, and as a matter of fact, if you are able to wisely budget and plan ahead, you may be able to still pay the gradually increased costs related to a memorable wedding and afford a wonderful honeymoon! The current trend is a sad one: many a couple must choose between having a fun filled receptions with all of their friends and family present, or instead skimp on the reception and perhaps not invite as many people, but therefore be able to afford at least a weekend getaway for their first few days as a married couple.

Even as stunning weddings are an important aspect of a couple’s new life together, it is the importance of honeymoon destinations as memory builders which cannot be stressed sufficiently! While a nice party with all the trappings is fun and would be nice to have, the fact that the memories you make together during the honeymoon will help to bond you together is of vital importance cannot be denied. Once life returns to being business as usual, you will need these joint memories to help you make it through the rough spots.

Any honeymoon trip begins with a budget. It is advisable to set your budget for the wedding, reception and honeymoon, and not pilfer any of them in favor of the other two. Some couples promise themselves to take a honeymoon later, when there is enough money. Remember that later never comes, since it gets swallowed up by the need to buy a car, replace a television set, or simply buy the little odds and ends that make life so much more comfortable. Do not allow your quest for the perfect wedding dress or cake to drain your honeymoon budget!

If you are working with tight budget, you will most likely want to consider staying local and not have your honeymoon budget drained by just the airfare. Investigate the cost of car rentals or train rides to get to your destination. Make the way to the location part of the experience by plotting the itinerary to allow for plenty of little side trips to other locales for sightseeing, eating at a highly recommended restaurant, or simply visiting a local point of interest. This will give you more money with which to buy those special wedding rings.

If you have friends who own vacation homes or time shares, this might be a great way to spend money on the accommodations as well – assuming they are willing to lend you the keys! If you must pay for your hotel room, remember that five stars might shine bright in the night, but a lovely bed and breakfast without them will do just as nicely! Many times the service at the latter is much better than at a big hotel anyways!
