Planning a wedding often takes the main focus for couples, but it’s also important to keep the honeymoon in mind. Many parts of the wedding planning process can help you save for this special trip. Indulge in a romantic escape that’s rich in charm, not cost—these tips will show you how to save for a honeymoon. 

  1. Start Saving Early

When planning your honeymoon, one of the first steps should be setting a clear savings goal. Opening a separate savings account just for your honeymoon can make it easier to track your progress and stay on budget. It also helps prevent you from dipping into the funds for other expenses.  As you set your goal, be sure to factor in the full scope of your trip, including:

  • Flights and transportation
  • Accommodation 
  • Meals and excursions
  • Travel insurance and emergency funds
  1. Get Creative

Not sure if your savings will cover the whole trip? There are smart, modern ways to make your dream honeymoon more affordable:

  • Set up a Honeymoon Registry: Instead of traditional gifts, invite guests to contribute to experiences like romantic dinners, excursions, or even airfare.
  • Maximize Credit Card Rewards: Use a travel rewards credit card to pay for major wedding expenses—like the venue, dress, or catering—and earn points, miles, or cashback that can help cover your honeymoon costs.  
  • Share That It’s Your Honeymoon: Don’t be shy—let hotels, restaurants, and airlines know you’re celebrating. Many offer complimentary upgrades, special treats, or perks for newlyweds—just ask!
  1. Save While You Stay

Here are some tips to stretch your budget while still enjoying every moment of your travels:

  • Book Accommodations with a Kitchen: Cooking a few meals can save hundreds over the course of a week.
  • Take Advantage of Free Activities: Beaches, hiking trails, and museums often offer free or low-cost entry.
  • Use Public Transportation: Skip pricey taxis and explore like a local. Many cities offer affordable transit passes.
  • Download Travel Deal Apps: Some apps can help you find last-minute deals on dining and entertainment.
