mini-moon ideas

ok ladies, FH and I WEREN'T all that worried about our honeymoon.. at least to me its not a necessity. but his family keeps bringing it up and we've reviewed our finances and can COMFORTABLY afford about a $3,000 mini-moon... that has to include EVERYTHING.

so any suggestions??

no cruises please.

mexico -- it's super cheap and you can get an all inclusive! i'll research for you right now...

---

ITA - that is what we are doing

Mexico or DR all inclusives

check out El Dorado resorts (karisma hotels)
karisma

Dreams Resorts
dreams has a sale going on but i'm not sure if it applies to ur month

dreams

Excellence resorts

excellence

or even a cruise!

u have lots of options!

key west
vegas
mexico
st maarten (they fly direct out of islip)
you can totally do a cruise for that about - is this a definite no?
miami
hilton head island, NC
bahamas

3,000 will take you many places! just plan smart!!

ETA: I didnt read the no cruise part sorry


A cruise for sure! That can def be under 3,000. You can catch a ship leaving out of NYC (no airfare). Carnival is a lil cheaper than the other lines. I personal Roayal Carib! Make sure to get a balcony room

HTH...GL

try the paradisus resorts or the Sol Melia resorts--- they have locations in mexico, DR,, Costa Rica

very affordable...very romantic and very pretty!


if u truly want a mini moon and not a full HM

try Montauk

or Newport Rhode Island- tons of cute B&Bs very romanticallll! FH & I went there on our 5 year anniversary

3,000 is more than we spend when we go on vacation and we go for 10+ days at a time!!

What about a Sandals resort? They're all inclusive and not that expensive. And really nice!

we did.. and we both fell in love with one of the resorts/suites.. I THOUGHT it was $3200... yea no, I'm an idiot and didn't put the correct suite.. the one we want is over $10,000.
we do want a private pool or at least hot tub or something. that's what I need for HIM so he agrees to go somewhere warm. he wants to HM in ALASKA or GREENLAND... he HATES the heat, so in order for him to go somewhere warm we have to have a pool.. thats not a community pool.
I should have mentioned that... and that is where we're having a hard time finding something in our price range.


thanks ladies, I'll check them all out.

Bermuda! That's where I got engageed. You can fly jetblue there and back for $89. We stayed in a 4 start resort for only a couple hundred a night. The only way you blow your money in Bermuda is on food - dining out is expensive. There's not a ton to do there but hey - if you're just looking to relax and not spend a lot it's good.

BUT check the weather! Since your wedding is in Oct it's possible the weather might be really cool there seeing as how it's not that far south.

no cruise.

i want to do the alaskan cruise EVENTUALLY.. but I do not want a cruise for our HM.
unless its the disney cruise, cause I want to go to the island they own.. BUT I do not want to deal with children or other ppl while on my HM.

Why would you think of going on a Disney cruise for your HM if you don't want to deal with children?

Aruba- all inclusive.

Check out cheapcaribbean.com

All inclusive and amazing deals! I highly recommend it. A lot of the places are really good


Cruises are affordable.

We don't want to spend more than 2 (3K at the most!).
