Getting married is a once-in-a-lifetime event. This means that your honeymoon is as well. With so many destinations around the world to choose from, how do you decide where to go? Once you have finalized the wedding plans, think about these factors when choosing your honeymoon destination.
How to Choose Your Honeymoon Destination
Your Budget
One of the biggest deciding factors for couples planning their honeymoon is their budget. No matter where you want to go, if you don’t have the funds to pay for it, you’re probably going to have to pick another destination. However, if you have your heart set on a destination, don’t let the amount of money stop you. Consider going for less time in order to save money or working some extra shifts for overtime at your job. If there’s someplace that you have always dreamed of going, but may not have the funds to do so, consider finding a way to save money, but still make it to your destination. For example, if you’ve always dreamed of honeymooning in Belize, instead of flying to the country and getting a hotel, go on a cruise where Belize will be one of the destinations.
The Time Of Year
It’s important to consider what time of year you will be going on your honeymoon. You don’t want to pick a destination that will be too rainy or too hot. It’s also important to consider the crowds as you may have difficulty finding accommodations if you plan on going at the height of tourist season.
Your Vacation Time
Even though you are getting married, you might not be able to take that much time off of work. Take this into consideration when trying to choose a destination for your honeymoon. If you have only a little bit of time, it might be a good idea to consider a domestic destination as you won’t have to deal with a long flight to get there. If you can take off a week or two, it may be a great time to take an overseas trip that you’ve always dreamed of.
Common Interests
Before choosing a honeymoon destination, think about the common interests that both you and your significant other share. Are you into rock climbing, skiing, spending time outdoors, visiting art galleries etc.? It’s a good idea to make a list of both common interests and things that both of you enjoy. Then, you can have a starting point when it comes to choosing your destination and what excursions you can possibly take part in while you are there.
