1 Week Delayed Honeymoon

We took our honeymoon 2 or 3 weeks after our wedding. Still felt 100% like a honeymoon. We were still newlyweds and still had that newly wed bliss. What we didn't have was the rush to get from our venue to the airport the next day. We were exhausted the weekend after our wedding so waiting a few weeks also meant we were able to catch up on sleep and fully enjoy our trip. We also liked that we had a few days off for the wedding, worked 2 weeks and then we were off again for a little over a week.

Everyone who has gone immediately after has told me how exhausted they were and advised us to wait a while before heading off to the honeymoon! So I think waiting is a good idea!

We are getting married in april, but our honeymoon isnt until october! lol

Our plan is to also wait a couple of weeks after the wedding before the honeymoon. We are planning to go to Universal and Disney World and it just so happens the first two weeks after our wedding is when schools are out for April vacation. Definitely want to try and go when fewer people would be there. I feel like it's becoming more common to wait a little bit after the wedding I don't hear of as many people leaving the day after.

I'm getting married Nov 2020 and our honeymoon is in January, I personally think it is going to extend that 'wedding' day feeling even longer!

We left Monday after our Saturday wedding. It was SO NICE to be able to go home from the hotel, unload all our stuff. Drop my dress off to be dry cleaned & send his tux back, etc.

We left for a 16-day honeymoon in the UK a week after the wedding, and, honestly? It was an AWESOME decision. It let us spend a day or two immediately after the wedding visiting more with OOT family who had traveled a long way just to be with us. It gave us a couple days to get things put away at our house, and most importantly, we were well rested before the 13-hour overnight flight. We had a blast and very much felt like "honeymooners" every minute of the trip -- it really just prolonged the whole "we just got married" excitement for an extra week! When brides post about their plans where they have to rush to catch a flight the morning after their wedding, I feel bad for them. It would not be my choice.

Weddings and the weeks leading up to them can be exhausting. Giving yourself a chance to decompress and rest before you leave can mean that you'll have more energy to enjoy your honeymoon.

We are planning to leave about a week after hours. My fiance is a controller so our wedding happens right before month end close. Once that is wrapped up, we will be off to a beach somewhere to enjoy newlywed bliss!
