6 Reasons to Delay Your Honeymoon

Discover reasons some couples choose to delay their honeymoon, below:

- Replenish their vacation days. Not everyone has a flexible work schedule, and if they had to take days off for events leading up to the wedding, they might not have enough paid time off available for a proper honeymoon. 

- Time to save more money. For pairs who paid for the big day themselves, some time may be required to build their savings back up in order to take the trip of their dreams. 

- Waiting for a better season. If your heart is set on a specific destination for your honeymoon, but your wedding occurs during that location's monsoon season, you may want to wait a few months before making the trip. 

- You’re moving in together. Those who did not cohabitate before marriage are likely planning to do so after tying the knot. If a home has already been purchased or leased, you may be eager to combine your households and unpack your new gifts. Fitting in travel between those tasks can be awfully hectic. 

- Planning has taken too much time. Although some people view the honeymoon as the reward for going through the stress of planning a wedding, the idea of organizing a long, often-overseas trip can sometimes be too overwhelming of an activity to add on top of everything else. 

- You have family commitments. If loved ones are traveling a long ways to witness you say your “I dos,” they might stay longer than the average wedding guest and it would be understandable if you didn’t want to jet off while they are still in town.
