As your love is turning into a lifelong journey, you realize there are a lot of decisions to make.  Whether you are planning your honeymoon or a destination wedding you should start talking to your Triad honeymoon specialist about different package options.  Since you probably haven’t planned such a trip, a Triad honeymoon or destination travel expert will have the knowledge to find you the best deals and take care of all the important details.
  1. Start planning in advance.  Begin planning your honeymoon six to eight months before your honeymoon. A destination wedding would need about a year prior to the wedding date.  When you plan early, you can guarantee your location of choice and often get a better airfare.  Another advantage is many High Point honeymoon destination wedding specialists offer payment plans.  You’ll have time to make a deposit and pay in full for your package, along with all your other wedding expenses.
     
  2. The most popular destinations are All Inclusive Resorts for Adults only, like Sandals.  They are great because airfare, transfers, meals, unlimited beverages, most water sports and tips are included in your package.  You can find accommodations in most budget ranges for the Caribbean, Mexico, Bora-Bora, Europe and Hawaii.  Disney even offers a Fairytale Honeymoon.  If you are going to stay in the United States, consider all the costs which may not be in a package, such as extra expenses at hotels, activities, meals, and beverages.  If you would like to travel to multiple destinations, a cruise might be the perfect honeymoon choice.  A cruise is usually not all-inclusive, so beverages, tips and off shore activities, at the various ports of call, are not included.
     
  3. A growing trend is the Honeymoon and Weddingmoon Registry.  This is a gift registry that you set up with your travel agency.  Your friends and family can make contributions to the registry which will help you with your trip expenses.  These gifts can help upgrade your accommodations and get you extras like spa treatments.
     
  4. With so much planning and money put into your honeymoon or destination wedding why risk your investment?  Ask your Triad honeymoon specialist about Travel Insurance that will protect you from mishaps while traveling to your destination.  Ask your travel expert in Greensboro or High Point what will be covered: airline delays, lost baggage, illness, medical emergencies, etc.
     
  5. You will need to gather your documentation to travel outside the U.S., like a U.S. passport or a visa (some destinations).  It can take 10-15 weeks to get these IDs, so make sure you have enough time before your departure date.  Bring along several copies of the marriage certificate, because some newlywed promotions require this proof to secure extra amenities you are entitled to.
As you are looking at all the options available, make sure both of you are involved in the process.  Your Triad honeymoon specialist is an expert at all these details, including currency exchange, so make sure to hire a professional.
