Honeymoon Savings Tips

Let's face it -- honeymoons are expensive. There are, however, tips and tricks you can use to shave some dollars and cents off your honeymoon costs. Saving on a honeymoon is as easy as shopping carefully for the best deals and considering alternative options that aren't the usual Hawaiian getaway.

Here are some money saving honeymoon ideas to get you started:

• Pack whatever you can! Sure it's easier to buy things like sunscreen and lip balm at your destination, but prices for necessities in tourist locales can cost double what they cost in your local drug store.

• If you can round up at least two other sets of newlyweds, you can rent a luxury villa in the tropics or a beautiful house in the mountains for what you'd pay for a hotel room.

• Alternately, look into house swapping.

• Prices for car rentals and hotels can fluctuate, so always always always look for a better deal. Ask for discounts whenever you can!

• Local specialty foods make great souvenirs and gifts for family, and grocery stores are the best and least expensive place to find them.

• Ask your wedding vendors -- like your wedding DJ -- if they know of any good deals. As wedding professionals, they often have contacts at hotels.
  

Remember that there's nothing wrong with asking for a deal. Tell everyone you interact with that you are on your honeymoon because resort managers, tour guides, drivers, and other service professionals may offer you a special discount or package deal. Good luck!
