We highly encourage engaged couples to take serious thought into taking a honeymoon and too look at the big picture. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to cherish each other outside of your every day lives.
There are valid and compelling reasons to organize a honeymoon and schedule it as close to your wedding as possible. These are some of my favorite reasons to have a honeymoon:
To Relax: Even the simplest weddings are stressful and tiring. And if you're like most couples, you'll spend more time with your guests than your new spouse at your wedding. A honeymoon is your opportunity to relax alone together.
To Celebrate: You're married! Allow yourselves some time to kick back and celebrate your new status as an official couple.
To Offer Undivided Attention: You may not need to travel to a new location to do this, but on a honeymoon you can enjoy each others company for hours without anyone disturbing you. Doing so in a beautiful setting away from home fosters intimacy, a cornerstone of a strong marriage.
To Explore: A honeymoon sends a couple out into the world together, and it's one of life's joys to experience new places, foods and opportunities together.
To Plan for the Future: A honeymoon gives a couple quiet time to imagine a new future together. What type of family do you picture together? Where do you want to be in five years? How about in ten or twenty?
If you’re at all concerned about the price of a honeymoon, a great option we offer our honeymooners is a honeymoon registry. You can encourage your bridal shower and wedding guests to contribute to your honeymoon fund through your travel agent to reduce your out of pocket costs as a couple. Speaking of travel agent, even if you’re stressed with the planning of a wedding, your travel agent can take care of the research, details and planning for you. Finally, there’s nothing wrong with taking a break from your “real life” to enjoy the newlywed stage and de-stress. Don’t worry, you’ll have plenty of days ahead of you to tackle “real life.”
If you’re ready to start planning your honeymoon, I encourage you to visit our honeymoon travel web page. You can submit a request form for more information, or call one of our many honeymoon travel specialists at 888-369-8785.
One of the most popular options many honeymooners lean towards is an All-Inclusive with either Funjet Vacations or Apple Vacations.
