A Perfect Honeymoon In A More Perfect Budget

There is nothing to be depressed if you can't afford a honeymoon outside your town. If possible, we suggest at least taking a long weekend to a week off of work so you can honeymoon at home. You can still have a great time, even if you don’t leave your hometown! Here are some tips to make your honeymoon at home really special:

1. Cut off communications. Turn of your laptop, unplug your phone, and only resort to your cell phone if you have to order Chinese food! It might be impossible to keep your location at home a secret from friends and family, but make it well-known that you want to spend some time alone in the days following your wedding. There will be plenty of time for phone calls and hanging out later in life.

2. Budget to order in or cook tons of food in advance. You should have to cook and clean on your vacation. If you can’t afford to fly somewhere, at least try to budget to order in or eat out while on your “honeymoon.” If you simply don’t have the money, cook some food that can be frozen during the weekend before your wedding, and use paper plates. If you really want to splurge, hire someone to clean your house at the end of the week!

3. Special touches make the honeymoon at home really romantic. Pick up some sexy new lingerie, light some candles when you typically wouldn’t bother, pour some wine, and get some really nice silk sheets for the bed. This is your honeymoon - make it as romantic as possible! Source
