Planning your Dream Honeymoon on a Shoe String Budget
Planning a wedding can be very expensive and leave you with little money to spend on your honeymoon. You honeymoon should be one of the most memorable trips of your life and you don’t want to short change your experience because lack of fund. Read below on how to save money for your honeymoon so you can have the trip of your dreams.
1. Start with a Budget
The first step is to put together a budget of what you can realisitly spend on your honeymoon. Be specific with guesstimate costs for hotels, food, activities and anything else you plan on doing.
2. Sacrifice
It may not be fun now but sacrificing now will allow you to have fun later. This may mean watching a DVD at home instead of going to the movies. Cutting back on services or subscriptions (cell phone, cable, facials, manicures, etc). The little sacrifices add up quickly in your vacation fund.
3. Brown Bag it
Let’s face it, we all love to eat out. As good as it may be it does a job on our savings. The average couple spends $300 per month on eating out. That’s money that could easily be put into your vacation fund by eating out less or bringing a bag lunch to work. If you have a hard time giving up eating use coupons or check out local deals.(buy one get one free dinners).
4. eBay
A great way to start your new life together is out with the old and in with the new, why not make money cleaning out your stuff. eBay has become the ultimate site to sell your belongings and make money. If you don’t want to deal with the hassle of eBay there is always the old fashion way, a garage sale.
5. Reward Cards
Reward cards are a great way to let credit cards pay you back. In the months prior to your wedding, use a credit card that accumulates points (most popular are cash or travel rewards)for everything you can. It shouldn’t be difficult to quickly accumulate points with all your wedding expenses. Once the reward points have piled up you can cash them in for plane tickets, hotel rooms, gift certificates or cash.
