Go to an all-inclusive resort where you pay one flat fee up front, so there will be not surprises or shocks at the checkout counter. Most all-inclusives offer accommodations, meals, activities, drinks and even honeymoon goodies for one fixed price.

Check into the major discount travel Internet sites for great air and hotel package deals.

If your wedding date permits or if you choose to postpone your honeymoon until a few months after the wedding, plan to travel during your destination’s “off season” or “low season” for cheaper rates. Seasonal discounts are not offered everywhere and will differ by destination, so consult your hotel and plan your honeymoon travel accordingly.

If you are traveling by air, fly on off-peak days of the week. Sunday through Wednesday are the cheapest days to fly between cities for both departure and arrival.

Use frequent-flyer miles for your honeymoon. They are free and offer great flexibility (except for high season blackout dates that may apply).

Whenever you book a hotel (or car rental), ask for all possible discounts. For example, check to see if they take the Entertainment card; have any promotions related to Diners Club, Visa, or other credit cards; offer any frequent-flyer-mile deals; or offer student, AAA, military, or government discounts or reduced honeymoon rates.

Read the fine print when booking any hotel’s honeymoon package. Often the added perks, such as airport transfers, champagne, and hotel robes, wind up costing more than if you just booked directly with the hotel and paid separately for those extras.
