Destined to Honeymoon
Excerpt from Great Wedding Tips From
the Experts © Robbi Ernst III
Planning exotic
honeymoons is easier today with the use of the Internet and Email. But more than
ever, couples are also planning destination weddings, in which all their guests
meet them in another state or even a foreign country. The reasons are many and
varied, but the primary reality is that couples want a truly unique and extended
experience with their family and friends.
It is important to
realize that even though you are planning a wedding in a foreign country, you
will still have the usual concerns and worries with additional stress of
something going wrong in a different location. Aside from making travel
reservations and accommodations for the group, you need to consider local legal
issues. A marriage license, a decree of divorce (if applicable), a passport, or
a birth certificate may be required. Anyone planning to marry in a foreign
resort should given serious consideration to hiring a local Wedding Consultant
for direction and advice and an on-location Wedding Consultant at the
destination.
The on-location
Consultant will see that you have all the required documentation, that every
detail is planned long before your arrival and that you have competent wedding
vendors with proper contracts. She can even assist you if you choose to bring in
some of your own vendors (e.g. your own photographer, floral designer,
videographer, etc.). She will check that each person is properly picked up at
the airport and given the planned-for-accommodations, and that your guests are
well rested from travel before they begin the schedule of any local tours and
sightseeing that she has prepared with you for in advance. She can also suggest
local customs that will make your wedding truly unique, one that your friends
will talk about for a very long time.
The all-inclusive Resort Option
The
all-inclusive resort option is appealing to travelers for a number of reasons.
First of all, the all-inclusive option can save you money and time. It’s a
one-stop shopping for vacationers. It eliminates the hassle of having to make
day to day decisions for meals and drinks, and having to budget for food,
beverages, and activities while enjoying the vacation.
The hot
spots for all-inclusive resorts are Cayman Island, Mexico and the Caribbean, and
are most abundant in Jamaica and Cancun. These destinations allow customers to
select a resort perfectly suited to their preferences. These days, vacationers
can choose between different types of all-inclusive to better match their travel
style, budget and preferences.
At a Modest
All-Inclusive, taxes and gratuities are included, as well as limited meals and
beverages. Buffet-style dining is typical. The lines become a little blurry when
considering Standard and Full All-Inclusive options. Both of these categories
include taxes and gratuities, as well as unlimited meals, snacks and beverages.
Both options can also include a variety of activities, services and access to
facilities, like a spa, a children’s program, and non-motorized water sports.
All-inclusive resorts are a great option for families because adults can relax
and enjoy themselves while still giving kids some freedom, whether it’s through
a daily youth program, or simply not having to ask an adult for a dollar every
time they want a soda.
So, while
you are browsing the web for the perfect vacation package, be sure to do your
research. Find out if the resort is all-inclusive (AI) or European Plan (EP) and
decide which one of these options best suits your needs while on vacation.

board a cruise ship. Nowadays more honeymooners opt for a cruise then just a
regular trip to Hawaii. If you are planning to book or schedule a honeymoon

cruise you plan on taking. These reviews are either from honeymooners' like your
self or from travel agency who do in dept reviews on service and hospitality of
the cruise ship or cruises. By reading the review you gather information on the
customer service, food and accommodations of the cruise.
Cruise
Line Age Average
Since you want your honeymoon
to be a special event, I highly recommend you to check the age restriction of
the cruise line. You wouldn't want to end up on a cruise line that are geared
towards elderly gateways or spring break craze teens. If you are seeking a
honeymoon cruise, it's best to see the age range of certain type of cruises
being offered.
