This is a great resource for couples on a budget. Introduced by the travel industry to boost sales among newly married couples, honeymoon registries have become commonplace. Registries allow wedding guests to contribute financially toward the honeymoon in lieu of more traditional gifts. While some couples may have to cover any remaining balance, this is an excellent way to get the honeymoon of their dreams by the kindness of friends and family.

HONEYMOON CRUISES:

What a great and affordable way to sail off into the sunset! Many honeymoon cruises start at under $400.00 per person for a 3 night stay. Spectacular romantic amenities such as breakfast in bed and candlelight dinners are normally included within the price. The atmosphere and activities aboard and abroad are all centered on the unique desires of newlyweds. Offering several exotic ports of call, the honeymoon cruise has it all.

VRBO:

Vacation Rental By Owner offers a wide variety of beautiful homes and condominiums in local and exotic locales. Owners of these properties rent them to guests for a fee that is usually equal to or less than that of renting a cheesy hotel room. Properties listed all over the world include destinations such a Costa Rica, Hawaii, and Florida.

TIMESHARE SEMINARS:

This may sound sleazy, but it’s a great way to get the perfect getaway without the cost. In fact, you may even receive a free gift just for attending. Couples must endure a few hours of tours and sales pitches, but in the end, will get a free vacation at the property being pedaled.

STAYCATIONS:

The concept for staycations is simple; don’t stray too far from home. Oftentimes, couples can find romantic and exciting attractions right in their own back yard. Most states have a tourism site that can point newlyweds to places they’ve never gotten the chance to visit before. Tourism sites for the state in which they live also offer coupons and discounts for use at many of the most appealing places to eat, stay or visit.

SPA VACATIONS:

Slipping around the spa all day and eating fruit between treatments is one of the most romantic honeymoons a couple could ask for. Many high ranked hotels offer spa packages that include all day couples spa treatments combined with hotel accommodations for the night. There isn’t much need for travel, as larger cities have at least one spa and hotel location.

THEME PARKS:

Theme parks are a lot of fun and can have quite a bit of romance too. A two night stay at one of America’s greatest amusement parks will cost less than $400.00 for a couple. This price includes hotel accommodations and a 2 day park pass. Some extra cash will be necessary for travel, food, and souvenirs, but the whole honeymoon can be done for under $1000.00.

Admittedly, these honeymoon vacations aren’t a trip to Italy, but they are wonderful ways to experience an affordable and romantic getaway with the love of your life.
