You may not have heard of the term mini-moon before, but it's one of the hippest travel trends this year. Couples who lack the vacation days or the budget to take a long vacation are finding the time to escape for a long weekend. The "mini-moon" gives couples a chance to reconnect away from everyday pressures and stress of daily life! Travel, especially honeymoons are an excellent way to earn Points. Be sure to shop for travel through uTANGO for all of your travel needs.
Some of the most popular times to take a mini-moon:
MiniMoon: The travel and wedding industry puts a lot of pressure on couples to have an extravagant honeymoon, but this isn't always possible or affordable. A mini-honeymoon is a "quickie" version-almost always closer to home due to time restrictions, but your trip isn't any less special when you include a romantic breakfast in bed, long walks on the beach, or other typical honeymoon elements.
FamilyMoons: Many second time brides and grooms are choosing to include their children in their honeymoon. It's an ideal way to celebrate the blending of two families. Another trend is for the couple to take a mini-moon with the kids and a second adults-only trip at a later date.
BabyMoon: This trend increases in popularity every year. Expectant couples are getting away (generally in the second trimester) for one last romantic hurrah before baby. Many resorts cater to parents-to-be with pregnancy massages, sparkling cider and gourmet meals. The "W' hotel chain even offers a "Womb Service" menu and complimentary baby gifts at select locations.
WeddingMoon: Destination weddings are increasing in popularity and many resorts offer a free honeymoon or a free wedding package when you say "I do". Sandals has one of the best. Leave the worries behind and really enjoy your wedding and honeymoon!
Anniversary Getaways: While it's traditional to save money for a dream trip for your 10th anniversary, many couples celebrate the anniversary of their first date, the first time they said I love you, or their wedding with a mini-break. It's a good idea to take time every year to rekindle your romance with an easy-on-the-wallet getaway.
Banish Bridezilla Getaway: Many couples fight about wedding planning and sometimes forget the reasons why they're getting married. An escape from wedding planning is a good idea. Some couples opt to visit a sunny resort or a romantic B&B. Others go on a church retreat organized by their pre-marital counselor or pastor. No matter what, wedding talk is strictly off-limits!
