There are many benefits of an all-inclusive honeymoon, which is why they're so popular. You don't have to worry about where to eat, how much you're spending on meals or activities, or where to find something to do. If you want to enjoy a beach location with great weather and plenty to do, an all-inclusive honeymoon might be for you.
There are many benefits of an all-inclusive honeymoon, which
is why they're so popular. You don't have to worry about where to eat, how much
you're spending on meals or activities, or where to find something to do. If
you want to enjoy a beach location with great weather and plenty to do, an

There are ways to get all-inclusive benefits without being
at an all-inclusive resort. Two options are to try a semi-inclusive honeymoon
and to set up a honeymoon registry.
Semi-Inclusive
Options
Bed and breakfasts usually have semi-inclusive vacation
packages. Many times, bed and breakfasts come with travel assistance, including
airport pick up and drop off, and you always get breakfast included with your
base price. This means you have one less meal a day to plan for
A few resorts also offer semi-inclusive options, including ones
where you can stay in private cottages or condos. These might include a few
activities or meals along with your room, but options do vary from place to
place.
Setting up a honeymoon registry can also get you some of the
benefits of an all-inclusive package, with the added advantage of not being
tied to a specific resort or destination. Here's how it works:
You decide where you want to go, and then register for
certain activities, meals, and upgrades that you'd love to have on your
honeymoon. Your guests can then purchase these gifts from your registry as
wedding gifts. You'll get the cash, and you'll be able to spend it to
experience new things, try some great meals, or upgrade your accommodations for
your honeymoon.
A honeymoon registry can help you end up with an
all-inclusive style honeymoon because you'll be able to list and plan for the
various activities you want to do on your registry. Most couples book their own
hotel rooms and plane tickets. They pay for these major expenses since they
need to be booked ahead of time, but then their guests can purchase fun
excursions, spa treatments, meals, and upgrades as wedding gifts from their
registry.
When you use a honeymoon registry, you are free to use the
cash you get from your registry for anything. We recommend, though, that you use
the money how your guests intended you to use it. You might get scuba diving
lessons, jet ski rentals, a couples massage, or cocktails on the beach. When
you can see ahead of time that those things have been paid for, you can count
them as "included" in your honeymoon!
Combine the Two
Of course, one great idea is to combine the semi-inclusive
bed and breakfast or resort-style vacation with a honeymoon registry. It's a
great way to stretch your honeymoon dollars further without missing out on
activities you can't afford
Setting up a honeymoon registry is easy and flexible, and it
allows you to choose any desirable honeymoon
destination in the world. Using a honeymoon registry to pay for certain
aspects of your honeymoon can give you an all-inclusive feel – and an
all-inclusive budget – without feeling that you must have all your meals and
activities at one (inclusive) resort.
