Booking honeymoon ideas

warchild75, 21 January, 2009 at 14:46 Posted on Planning 0 4

Me and my fiancee have decided to get people to contribute to our honeymoon as we have had to prepare the wedding in 7months and as such have not got a huge budget,we are doing quite well and have got the church, venue, dress and rings sorted but with the honeymoon we are not sure of wether to ask for people to contribute with cash or travel agent vouchers or wether there is any other way of doing things.just looking for any ideas or input really.thanks?

    Hi Warchild

    Thomson do a voucher scheme whereby you book your holiday and people can buy vouchers either in a shop, phone or online towards the cost of it. If your guests buy the vouchers after you have had to pay the balance, the money will automatically be credited to you.

    Alternatively there is a site called honeymoney where people can buy specific parts of your honeymoon for you - everything from flights to champagne day trips, massages etc. I am not sure what they are like thouhg - does anyone else have any experience of them?

    ? Lol Money poems really are a love it or hate it thing. Some of my friends are getting married this year and doing the money poem thing....I am keeping my unsolicited opinions to myself!

    Hi,

    We are in the same situation as you, where we have booked it as of last week the balance needs to be paid prior no later than the 18th June. I think I will try to get my invites out in April, I have suggested this is what we need to do. But I have been lucky where my dad has said he would contribute towards it anyway as we have not had a holiday on our own for over 2 years. He feels we need time to our own, with this being a special time. We have lived together for 15 months and have everything so any help with the honeymoon would be brilliant.

    xx

    Thanks for the reply, we have looked at a few travel agents that offer the scheme where by people can contribute,but most want you to pay the full fee at least 3 months before we are due to go which means we will probably have to put it on a card and get that reimbursed as and when people contribute,I think we need to as a couple go and sit down with someone who specialises in honeymoons as not sure where we fancy at the mo.
