Mini Moon Destinations

What is a Mini Moon and why should you take one? We have the answers! (expert advice)

You're probably wondering, What is a mini moon?, and we have to say – it's a neat little trend sweeping young couples and indecisive newlyweds-to-be who have yet to choose the perfect honeymoon getaway.

A mini moon is a brief adventure that engaged couples share, which allows them to visit a location before making a final wedding or honeymoon decision. Sometimes, a mini-moon allows couples to enjoy an exciting trip if they have decided to postpone their honeymoon.

The Advantages of a Mini Moon

Meet with wedding professionals
Explore busy cities and tropical islands
Test out potential honeymoon sites
Sample local cuisine and restaurants
Enjoy a break from wedding planning
Release stress and reconnect

A mini moon usually consists of a brief excursion – typically within driving distance or accessible through a short flight. Couples often stay at an inn, major hotel, or spa. Slowly but surely, more establishments are creating packages with the mini moon couple in mind. However, a romantic sweethearts package usually fits the needs of an excited fiancé and fiancée awaiting a weekend of pampering and relaxation.

Where will you go for your mini moon?

Consider the following popular mini-moon destinations:

Mexico: With comfortable resorts situated on the Baja coast and ancient allure of the Mayan civilization, Mexico offers an array of romantic adventures – ranging from endless shopping to beautiful cultural scenery.

Bahamas: There's nothing like paying a visit to an island located just a hop, skip, and a jump from the United States mainland. The Bahamas offers more than 700 islands for couples to romp about. Just imagine sinking your toes into white sands.

Florida: Whether you settle into a room at the Don Cesar Hotel (St. Petersburg Beach) or toast to chocolate-covered strawberries at the Hyatt Regency Bonaventure in Weston – Florida is filled with plenty of mini-moon destinations, like Key West, Miami, and Orlando.

Las Vegas: With endless discounts, excitement, and entertainment, Las Vegas offers something for everyone. Planning your mini-moon in the city that never takes a breath will surely melt the built-up tension and stress that planning a wedding can bring.

New Jersey: An array of hotel packages for mini-moon seekers are found in New Jersey, such as the Gables (in Beach Haven, Long Beach Island), which tantalizes guests with a five-course dinner for two, breakfast in bed, and fragrant flowers – for about $400 per night.

Pocono Mountains: Many romantic mini moon getaways have taken place at the Pocono Mountains – a year-round vacation destination located in northeastern Pennsylvania. The outdoorsy couple may truly appreciate their surroundings, which are filled with valleys, rivers, lakes, and waterfalls.

Napa Valley, California: For the mini moon couple seeking to splurge, imagine the pampering that takes place at the Milliken Creek Inn in California's Napa Valley, where their Mini-Moon Escape Package (about $2,475 per couple) places you in the middle of wine county luxury.

Tropical Waters: Some of the best deals are found with a mini moon cruise, especially the ones that depart out of South Florida. Visiting destinations, such as Cozumel and St Thomas, you could pay as little as $249 for rooms, depending on the season.

Looks like spam robot responses bumped this post...

Anyway, we are having a week long mini-moon because FI does not want to fly after the wedding for various reasons... And it will be November so our trip to Italy would be better put off until next spring or fall.

We live in California and there are so many options. Currently undecided between Monte Rio, Big Sur, or Trinidad.

Let us take a close look at some of its features. The most important feature of this software is the Submitter. It is a real time saver. You just select the web pages or files, and search engines you want to submit and it does all the submitting while you do something else. It even keeps track of everything to make sure you don't span the search engines and that all the pages are submitted.

.One of the better ways to accomplish this is by cutting your prices a tad.You really should still earn profits on every sale, but which has a slightly price reduction than the rest of the listings you might garner alot more business.

As well as price, use pictures showing just the way good your watches can be.Instead with only showing one image, why definitely not list three to four? This will offer the consumer more confidence, and subsequently give you more product sales.To consider pictures for your personal eBay listings all you have to is a digital camera.Within minutes you may snap journey shots which you are required, and currently have your item listed.It really is that quick.

Ultimately, be sure to add an exceptional description and the pictures

I think that depending on the way you go about it, it's perfect for some brides. Not everyone will have the opportunity to take a huge long honeymoon after the wedding...sometimes a 2-4 reprieve, even in the state you live in, is a huge boost.
