Honeymoon Hunting

 

Where to start

Budget, budget, or and, budget

Be specific about what type of honeymoon you both want. (white sandy beach, backpacking through the mountains, egyption pyramids, etc.)

 

When 

According to Wedding Paper Divas 40% of couples wait 13 to 18 months between “Yes!” and “I do” giving them ample time to plan the optimal honeymoon.

 

6-8 months prior, especially if you're planning to go to a specialized resort, as premium rooms book up early.  I would recommend earlier, as would a travel agent.

 

Airline reservations generally open 330 days in advance and the lowest prices almost always sell out first. This is particularly important for travel during holidays and peak seasonal periods.

 

Cruise lines open reservations more than a year in advance. Book early for the best cabin selection. The same goes for resorts.
