Try a ‘minimoon’

“Depending on the location they choose, it can also be a great way to take a vacation and bask in some of the newly married discounts while also still saving either for a larger honeymoon later or saving for other life events after marriage,” she said. “The downside is that it still costs something, and if it’s not planned well, the couple may end up spending more money on the minimoon rather than having saved the money for a larger honeymoon. It can also take away funds for any other vacations they have planned.”

The minimoon isn’t really new, but perhaps newly named.

“Many couples I’ve worked with have done something similar for a while, but with the Instagram age giving it a trendy name is very in-style,” Babinski said. “A minimoon is a great way to relax after a wedding, away from all the hustle and bustle of life, without having to feel forced to spend a lot of money or go somewhere luxurious.”

When it comes to planning a minimoon, couples are getting creative.
