When to go on the Honeymoon!

We're in Ohio, getting married 10/10/2020, and are planning on doing our honeymoon in Alaska in 2021!

Though we haven't picked a specific time yet, I'm thinking we'll go in the summer as well; we're interested in doing one of the land & sea cruise packages. To help pay for it, we're looking into travel credit cards that we can put our big wedding expenses on, and then earn points towards the honeymoon. That's my project to research this winter, lol!

We may do a very small weekend getaway after our wedding just for those immediate honeymoon vibes, but we haven't decided for sure on that yet.

I would go in June 2021 if I were you! It’d still be within the year of the wedding so I think it would be easy to get back into that mindset and feel like you’re on a “honeymoon”... plenty of people wait longer too for a plethora of reasons, but personally I’d feel like waiting until 2022 wouldn’t really “feel” like a honeymoon anymore, since it’d be after you celebrated your first anniversary even.

A honeymoon is just a vacation. I say this with all sincerity and no snark. But there are no rules for when/how/where a honeymoon can be. So, I say, save up and plan and schedule it at the time that works best for you both and ENJOY your lovely honeymoon! Also, Alaska is beautiful and salmon is my favorite food.

I would just go whenever you can afford it, it can still be a honeymoon!

It can still be a honeymoon a year or 2 later! Whenever you go, don't forget to pack warm clothes (even in the summer). My parents just went on an Alaskan cruise in August, and it was mid 50's-low 60's a lot of the time they were there!

A honeymoon is what you make it. Whenever that might be. do what is best and makes most sense for you both.
