A Guide to Your Perfect Honeymoon Holiday and How to Spend Your Honeymoon Money Wisely
After the stress of planning your dream wedding, the perfect reprieve is to enjoy some time together as a couple, but your honeymoon should not be considered just an ordinary holiday.
“Your honeymoon is something that you will never forget, so it’s important you take the time to consider your options,” said Andrew James, spokesperson for Bad Credit Loans 4 You, a UK finance specialist at sourcing money for honeymoon, engagement ring finance and wedding loans for people with bad credit.
“You want it to run as smoothly as possible, with few hiccups and certainly no honeymoon money headaches.”
We’ve listed a few ways to help ensure your honeymoon money is used effectively, whether you want to relax on a deserted island or walk the Great Wall of China.
It’s all in the timing
“As soon as you have set your wedding date, you should start thinking about your honeymoon destination,” said Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
“It’s especially important if you are getting married at a peak time such as July and August or Christmas and New Year.”
To avoid disappointment, you should look to book your holiday at least six months in advance, so sort any money for honeymoon out early.
When it rains…
Not all destinations are blessed with year-round good weather, so although it’s your honeymoon, it doesn’t mean you won’t get caught in a blizzard or tropical rain storm.
“If you have your heart set on a specific country to spend your honeymoon money, then you may want to reconsider the date you are to get married,” stated Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
Special honeymoon packages
Many tour operators offer special packages for people on honeymoon which can include upgrades or added gifts.
Sometimes they even offer huge discounts in the hope you will return to that special place on future anniversaries.
All budgets
“Just because it’s your honeymoon doesn’t mean that you have to spend huge amounts of honeymoon money to have an unforgettable time,” said Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
“Many couples now choose to combine a luxurious holiday experience with a few days involved in voluntary work amongst the local community, such as teaching English to school children or helping to rebuild a community hall.”
Your honeymoon should be about the two of you spending time together and enjoying yourself, not how much honeymoon money you pay out.
A week spent camping and walking the Welsh valleys could be just as much fun to one couple as doing nothing on a beach in the Bahamas is to another.
Speak to tour operators about the amount of honeymoon money you have to spend and what you want to do, they might have some alternative suggestions you haven’t thought of.
Alternatively a marriage loan or bad credit loan sourced by Bad Credit Loans 4 You can help start your life together in the perfect way.
Honeymoon gift vouchers
According to independent research carried out by Hitched W.I.F.E, only 50% of couples have a wedding gift list.
If you have already been living with your partner, then you’re unlikely to need a new toaster or set of cutlery, so why not ask for vouchers to put towards your honeymoon, or money for honeymoon?
You could use the extra honeymoon money to pay for a room or flight upgrade.
Name change
If you plan on changing your passport to your married name, then make sure all your documents, visa details and flight booking confirmation are the same to avoid being denied entry to the country.
You’ll need to allow plenty of time for your details to be sent off and returned before you depart.
If you are unsure on the best way forward, ask your tour operator for advice or visit the direct.gov.uk website for further help.
Departure dates
Some destinations are only flown to on certain days, so be aware that you may need to compromise if you want to travel on the day after your wedding.
“You can look for alternative destinations to fit in with your travel schedule,” said Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
Travel Insurance
Travel insurance is becoming even more essential, highlighted by the many holiday disruptions which people have encountered over the last two years.
“If you spend a lot of money for honeymoon luxuries and then can’t travel, you’ll be devastated,” said Mr James, of Bad Credit Loans 4 You.
“Travel insurance will enable you to recoup a good proportion of the honeymoon money you paid, but make sure it covers the cost of your wedding and engagement rings too.”
Independent analysts Defaqto, have rated each insurance policy depending on the extent of its cover.
On the Defaqto website you can find hundreds of policies rated from one star to five, giving you a better knowledge of what your premium covers.
Find the right honeymoon for you
It’s really important the destination you choose to spend your honeymoon suits you as a couple and what you both want to do together.
If you want to spend your honeymoon money on relaxing by the beach then an exotic destination will be perfect.
But many couples like to spend their time away doing more adventurous activities and this is the perfect time for you to do it.
And finally…
Enjoy it and relax, it will hopefully be the start of something great.
