Traditionally,
the entire honeymoon is the groom's financial responsibility.
Once the initial decisions have been made by the two of you together,
he should accept the responsibility of making all the arrangements.
Many
times couples find it easier not to embark on their honeymoon
immediately after the reception, but to wait until the following
week, and spend the wedding night or weekend at a nearby hotel,
resort or bed and breakfast inn. This allows you to put off packing
and other last minute pressures until after the wedding. And allows
for flexibility in dealing with airline and other schedules.
Even
for a local over night, a professional travel agency is your best
ally. They should know all the rates and special packages available
and there is no charge to you for their service. You should begin
making your honeymoon plans as soon as you set your wedding date.
If you need passports or visas, check into that immediately.
If
you are considering a cruise or tour, ask lots of questions and
make sure you will be comfortable with the age group you will
be with. Even resorts are sometimes geared to different age groups.
Regardless
of your budget, with careful planning and good advice you can
have a luxurious honeymoon.
