5 Ways To Enjoy That Perfect Honeymoon Within Your Budget

What do you want to do? How much are you prepared to spend? Do you want a relaxing vacation or an adventurous expedition?

Once you’ve decided, start planning your honeymoon budget. Online is a great place to begin your research, or you can also speak with a travel agent to find a package that suits your needs. Here are some pointers to consider when planning your honeymoon budget: 

• Get off the beaten path. Like choosing a lesser-known destination. You may get cheaper flights and options for accommodation. 
• Heading to honeymoon-friendly destinations such as Paris or Bali? To save money on your total cost, you should search for cheaper accommodation alternatives such as AirBnBs or bed and breakfasts. 

If you and your partner agreed to have a honeymoon at a wonderful and particular destination, you could cut off any unnecessary stuff or decorations in your wedding day to fit to your honeymoon budget. This won’t duplicate your expense.

The earlier you book your flight tickets, the better the fares. Planning your honeymoon during non-peak seasons or booking flights when seasonal discounts are offered can score you some cheap flights.

If your budget is limited, you won’t need to waste on unnecessary things, particularly the transportation. You could save more than double by using local public transportation, compared to private taxis or vans. At the meant time, you could enjoy the sightseeing and socialise with the local lifestyle.

If you’ve both been saving for this ultimate interlude, a little extra money always helps manage the honeymoon fund better.

If you haven’t or have only just started saving, explore opportunities to better grow your money. Short-term investments such as 3- to 6-month fixed deposits that reap attractive earnings rates are one way to go.

Once you’re financially sorted, you can finally say, “I do” to your romantic escapade.

Congratulations and bon voyage!
