“Should we put our honeymoon back or go straight ahead?” That’s one of the most frequently asked questions in the honeymoon planning world. If your honeymoon has been a dream come true, it can be a very emotional experience to say the least. The last thing you want to be feeling is stressed out about where the future of the honeymoon lies.
There are some things that are important when it comes to deciding to put off or cancel a honeymoon. If you and your soon to be spouse have decided that this is indeed the place for you to spend your romantic vacation, you need to be sure that it will indeed be remembered fondly by both of you. You may have to take into consideration that it may take some time for your honeymoon to truly be one of those special memories that you both can cherish. It is okay if the timing doesn’t work out, just as long as you remember the great experiences that you had on your honeymoon.
When thinking about a honeymoon, there are many factors at play including your future plans. Are you getting married in the near future? Is this the first anniversary? Do you already have a young child?
If you are getting married within the next few years, it is highly likely that you are not going to get a whole lot of time to spend on your honeymoon. As you get closer to your future nuptials, your honeymoon will become more the exception rather than the rule. On the flip side, if you have already married and are expecting a child within the next couple of years, it is highly likely that your honeymoon will be the main highlight of your wedding. Now is definitely the time to start thinking about where you will be spending your honeymoon. It will be a lot easier to pick out a location if you already have some idea of what your future destination will be like. You will have narrowed down your choices quite a bit.
Your honeymoon will have a great deal to do with when you plan it. Are you going to spend it right after the wedding? Or is it more of a surprise trip? Ideally, you want to surprise your soon-to-be husband or wife with a trip that they will look forward to ever again. If your wedding is only a few months away, that is not very long to plan.
Once you have picked out the location and dates, you can start thinking about how you will pay for it. Many couples choose to set up a trust fund or retirement account so that the honeymoon can be used for anything that you wish. You can then go on a honeymoon, even if you are not saving any money. It all depends on your future spouse.
What about the wedding band? It is customary to give the bride or groom’s future spouse a piece of their wedding jewelry, but many are unsure if this is proper etiquette. Should we put our honeymoon back into the wedding or give it to the groom? The best answer to this question really comes down to how and when you plan your wedding.
In the end, you have to take care of yourself and your future spouse. There is no reason to feel guilty if you want to go on a nice honeymoon, especially if your wedding isn’t far away. If you plan it out right, it can be done without breaking any family tradition. Just relax and enjoy your honeymoon.
