What is a mini-moon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First of all, you may be wondering what, exactly, a mini-moon is. While most honeymoons are typically a week or longer, some couples have decided to opt for shorter city breaks instead of more lavish vacations. For some, this is a way to sneak in a quick, refreshing vacation between the madness of the wedding and the actual honeymoon further down the line, and for others, it\u2019s in replacement of the longer honeymoon. What it means to you and your partner is entirely up to you! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why go on a mini-moon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are many great reasons why couples choose to go on a mini-moon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. You\u2019ll spend less money travelling for a shorter period of time.<\/li>
  2. You may be able to afford upgrades such as luxury accommodation or food if you aren\u2019t paying for a longer honeymoon.<\/li>
  3. If you are unable to take much time off work, a mini-moon ensures you still get the honeymoon experience.<\/li>
  4. If you\u2019ve planned a larger honeymoon further in advance, you\u2019ll still be able to jet off to a relaxing vacation with your new spouse and relax for a couple of days immediately after the wedding.  <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n
