28 Sep 09 Wedding Planning on a Budget

Planning a wedding for a down to earth couple can be a real joy. It may be their first trip to the altar or one (or both!) of them may have skipped down the aisle multiple times. In either case, they want a simple, meaningful ceremony and prefer to spend the bulk of their budget on the honeymoon rather than cake toppers and ice sculptures.

What suggestions can you make for people on a budget? A honeymoon is a special event and the happy couple deserves to relax and enjoy their trip and each other.

Encourage them to stay in the country or go no further than a neighboring country, especially if they are located close to the border. If they have their hearts set on an island honeymoon, suggest the Florida Keys or Catalina Island. Look into the Golden Isles off the Georgia and Alabama coastline for cozy bed and breakfast inns.

Have they considered registering for their honeymoon with a travel agency? They could request a donation to the honeymoon in lieu of wedding gifts. Neither the giver nor the couple ever has to worry about returning the gift for something they really wanted.

Another bonus is turning one of those honeymoon photographs into a special thank you card. Instead of “wish you were here”, they can send a heartfelt “thank you for sending us.”
