Mini moon or honeymoon?

We're spending 2 weeks in Bora Bora

Were doing japan for our honeymoon!

We thought about it but eventually decided that we would rather buy a house than take a ridiculously expensive honeymoon. So we are going to montreal for 8 days and just doing touristy stuff. Our honeymoon budget went from about $10000 to $3500.

My fiancé and I have casually discussed it, and I think we’re taking a mini moon a week after our wedding. So many guests are coming from out of town and we don’t get much of a chance to see them, so we want to spend some time with them before we jet off somewhere on our own for a few days. We’re on Vancouver Island and are thinking about an extended weekend in Tofino/Ucluelet.

We are planning to stay at a spa for 1 night after the wedding, and then we are making a trip next summer to celebrate our marriage. If I weren’t a teacher and getting married right before school starts we would go sooner.

That sounds great! Europe will be amazing, Enjoy!!

We are mini mooning with my son in the suite with us lol and then taking a honeymoon later

We're getting married in February (on a long weekend that falls in the middle of a course-based elective I'm taking), so we're taking a mini-moon the weekend after the wedding followed by a honeymoon trip late spring after I've graduated. It's all just timing for us!

We are most likely doing japan!!

We are going camping as a family right after. We have no plans for a more traditional honeymoon. It's just too difficult as we have 2 children, both with health challenges.

We got married 2 weeks ago - no trip for us until next year. We are saving money to go to Europe for a month might have a mini-moon camping weekend before the end of the summer

View quoted message Sounds great! Vegas is a great couples getaway

Going to have a mini moon. Just can't get the time away. It'll be great anyway. Since wedding is so far away we'll have to wait till closer. We were thinking Vegas. Good place to go when you only have a few days....and no kids 😄

All inclusive in that Maldives?! That's amazing !!

We are doing a 6-month conservation trip in Africa followed up with an all-inclusive 7-10 days somewhere that will be a surprise to me (and hopefully involves sand and sun).

We are also doing a wedding party trip before the wedding instead of bachelor and bachelorette parties.

If it's even remotely an excuse to travel we maximize on it.

Currently on our honeymoon!

Oh amazing! I can't wait to visit in the fall. FH and I have both been (separately) but it is FH favorite country and there is a section called "The Romantic Road" filled with castles and little villages and wineries that he wants to show me, so I am so excited. I will have to report back!

That’s great thanks for the help!

View quoted message Oooo sounds amazing! Let me know how Germany is! We are going in the fall after our wedding!

View quoted message Great idea! Nice to just enjoy being the two of you!

Going on our honeymoon two nights after the wedding! Three weeks in Europe. Road tripping through Germany & Switzerland, then visiting going on a Mediterranean Cruise departing from Venice. Sometimes I feel like we are planning the wedding for the sake of the honeymoon. LOL.

That cottage LOOKS AMAZING! I am such a sucker for adorable cozy cottages. I think a mini moon is so important after the wedding, in lieu of the big honeymoon. Glad you are taking the time to do that.

We will be taking 3 days off after the wedding and having a mini moon inside the city Go to a spa, the hotel we are staying at is like... EXPENSIVE... but still cheaper than a honeymoon and we will go somewhere in 2020

We are doing a mini-moon then a larger trip later.

Mostly because my FH and I wanted to do something very 'us' for the honeymoon and go to a bigger fan/nerdy convention. Unfortunately, a lot of big cons we are looking at run March-July, and we are getting married in August.

View quoted message That’s such a great alternative I love that you are still going with your family and not giving that up entirely either!

We go up north for thanksgiving every year with my family and planned our wedding around that.
So instead of waiting to go up with my family, we are going up 2 days earlier just us and then my family will join us.
Waiting until November to go on our 2 week honeymoon!

View quoted message Ya definitely! Weddings end up requiring a lot of time off... it’s probably easier to just take a few days after instead

View quoted message That sounds great! We would have done the same but May is such beautiful weather here we would rather enjoy what we have locally and then travel later

We were originally going to do a mini moon and then a bigger honeymoon later. Then we realized that since our wedding is in January it’s the perfect time to take a week to go to somewhere warm. So we’re going on a cruise of the Bahamas right after our wedding.
