My Vacation Lady is a top rated honeymoon planner and we’ve been helping our clients plan their honeymoons for a very long time.  A couple of years ago, most were taking their honeymoons within days of their weddings.  In the last 18 months, more are planning to take a short mini-moon right after the wedding but wait a bit for the big one.

Plan a Mini-Moon is you fall into these categories:

  • Your dream honeymoon destination isn’t open to tourism yet.
  • You are unsure about the Covid travel restrictions in the coming months.
  • You work in a school and your wedding doesn’t match up with school vacations.
  • You’re paying for the wedding yourselves and need to save more in order to get the honeymoon of your dreams
  • You are getting married in the “wrong season” for your dream honeymoon destination.
  • You have  work obligations that don’t allow you to take off the time that you want for your dream honeymoon.

So let’s say that you are going to wait until your first anniversary to take the “big trip”, what can you do right after the wedding?

These might work for you—-

  • 3 or 4 nights in a resort destination that isn’t very far away (maybe Bermuda, Miami, Las Vegas, Savannah, Scottsdale or San Diego?)
  • A quiet B&B for a couple of nights
  • Go to a nearby city and have a few days in a wonderful city hotel.
  • Treat yourself to a couple of nights at a resort within driving distance that has a nice spa and treat yourselves to a couple of days of post-wedding pampering.

When should you start planning your big getaway?

Let the wedding celebrations end and settle into married life.  About 9 -10 months before you want to go away for your belated honeymoon, contact My Vacation Lady to schedule your honeymoon consultation.  Every honeymoon that My Vacation Lady plans is designed around your dreams and budget.  We can’t promise that we can get you to Bora Bora in an over water bungalow for a week with airfare from the NY area for $5,000 but we will do our best to help you find a honeymoon that you’ll love within a budget that you an live with.
