1. Prioritize:  Why Having a Honeymoon or Anniversary celebration is important!

With all of the details and planning logistics that it takes to plan your wedding or after all you’ve made it through together, it’s easy to put your honeymoon or anniversary planning on the back burner, but this is a Big Mistake many couples make.

2. Start Now to Take Advantage of Great Rates & Value

Timing is everything, and that applies to honeymoon and anniversary planning too! By starting to plan your honeymoon or anniversary early, you increase your chances of snagging the best deals on flights, accommodations, and activities. Many resorts and airlines offer early bird discounts, so why not take advantage and stretch your honeymoon or anniversary budget a little further?

3. Securing the Perfect Honeymoon Or Anniversary Location & Resort

Pre-pandemic, the old school of thought was to plan your honeymoon or anniversary six to nine months before your wedding, but that isn’t the best advice anymore! Post-pandemic, the best and most sought-after destinations & resorts, especially for honeymooners are booking up faster than ever. Starting your planning now ensures you’ll have plenty of choices when choosing your dream spot. Whether it’s the enchanting beaches of Cancun, the romantic allure of St. Lucia, or the vibrant culture of Jamaica, you can secure the perfect haven for your honeymoon or anniversary bliss.

4. Start Planning Your Honeymoon or Anniversary Early To Have It ALL! 

Every couple is unique, and so is their dream honeymoon and aniversary. Starting early allows you to tailor your experience to match your preferences. Starting to plan your honeymoon or anniversary early allows you to share what you BOTH hope to get out of your honeymoon or anniversary.  Do you dream of a secluded beachside villa, adventurous excursions, or a perfect mix of relaxation and exploration? Planning early ensures you can create an itinerary that will give you as close to EVERYTHING you desire in your honeymoon or anniversary!

5. Reducing Stress, Increasing Excitement

Wedding planning can be a whirlwind of details, as well as life getting in the way as the years roll on and having your honeymoon or anniversary plans settled early means one less thing on your plate as the big day approaches. You’ll also have more time to gather finances together, make payments, and have more of an opportunity to reduce your financial stress during a very expensive time in your life.   You’ll also reduce stress, and increase the excitement by knowing that your dream honeymoon or anniversary is all set, waiting to whisk you away to a world of romance, pampering, and relaxation.
