Honeymoon

Now is the best part - your honeymoon! It is the time to celebrate your new life together as a married couple, and it should be the vacation of your lifetime. At the same time, it should not necessarily be the time to break your bank.

The tradition goes that the groom would do the planning. However, things change and today both newlyweds often decide on where to go, how long to stay and how much money to spend.

Wedding Idea: Start planning the honeymoon before your wedding, because the places you want to go to (which is most likely are the most popular honeymoon destinations) book quickly. If you are interested in Caribbean and are looking for affordable deals, check CheapCaribbean.com.

Typical honeymoons include cruises (e.g. cruisedirect.com), all inclusive resorts, Walt Disney World, as well as trips to Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean (Jamaica, Bermuda, Saint Lucia, Aruba, US Virgin Islands), Tahiti, Italy and Las Vegas.

If your honeymoon destination is Hawaii, the most popular islands for newlyweds are typically Maui, Kauai, Oahu, Hawaii (Big Island). If you are looking for more seclusion and natural setting, Kauai is your choice. If you'd like to have both lavish nature and a night life, you would want to consider Maui. Oahu is more commercialized than other islands and is a great place for someone who is really looking for some night activity.
