Sure, every couple looks forward to their honeymoon. But after you’ve done allll that wedding planning, figuring out another “big event” right on its heels can feel overwhelming. Enter, the mini-moon, a low-key way to destress and take your time planning a later honeymoon (including budgeting for it). Birkat Elyon is in the business of providing couples with gorgeous, affordable cubic zirconia rings, so we’re all in on anything that makes good financial sense! Here are some great reasons to take a mini-moon.
These days, the trend is to spend less on the wedding and more for an elaborate, bucket-list honeymoon that can last anywhere from three to six weeks. Scheduling that time-off from work for both of you, not to mention getting the money together for such a trip, can be complicated. For that, you can benefit from…time.
A mini-moon is basically a quick trip of four days or just a long weekend. It’s typically closer to home (therefore, less expensive). Some couples just take a road trip or fly to a nearby city a few hours away. Maybe they book a stay at a local resort and indulge in some needed post-wedding pampering. The point is, you have time to catch their breath, unwind, and just be together – which is really the whole point of any honeymoon, big or small.
If you’ve been dreaming of a once-in-a-lifetime trip, a mini-moon gives you some time to talk it over with your (new) spouse. You have the space to plan (without pressure) the destination and when to go. Most importantly, you can sketch out how you’ll budget for it. Here’s a helpful hint on saving some money: our gorgeous cubic zirconia rings are much more affordable than diamonds. Those savings could go right into your Honeymoon Kitty!
Another thing: opting for cubic zirconia rings versus “the real thing” gives you peace of mind when you travel, whether it’s a mini-moon, honeymoon, or just a plain old vacation. That’s why they’re frequently worn by celebrities when they jet around the world.
So, don’t feel like you have to have the honeymoon planned right away; a mini-moon will give you the same relaxation you crave after the wedding.
