   Traditionally, the entire honeymoon
is the groom's financial responsibility. Once the initial decisionshave been made by the two of you together, he should accept the responsibility of making all the arrangements.
    Many times couples find it easier not to embark on their honeymoon night after the reception, but to wait until the following week and spend the night or weekend at a nearby hotel, resort or bed and breakfast inn. This allows you to put off packing and other last-minute pressures until after the wedding. It also allows for flexibility in dealing with airline and other schedules.
    Even for a local overnight, a professional travel agency is your best ally. They should know all the rates and special packages available and there is no charge to you for their service. You should begin making your honeymoon plans as soon as you set your wedding date. If you need passports or visa, check into that immediately.
    If you are considering a cruise or tour, ask lots of questions and
make sure you will be comfortable with the age group you will be with. Even resorts are sometimes geared to different age groups. Regardless of your budget, with careful planning and good advice you can have a luxurious honeymoon.
