The Happy Wedding

After the hoopla of the holidays have passed and everyone has settled into the New Year can be a perfect time for your wedding. A fun or formal wedding might be just what friends and family need to pull them out of the winter doldrums.

Wedding invitations
Anything goes with you January wedding invitations. Draw on winter themes with crystal icicles or beautiful snowflakes. Your invitation should be the first hint at your theme, so pick something that you and your fiancé will love. Opt for a formal invitation with black, white and a touch of red or keep it whimsical and fun with snowmen.

You might want to consider getting your wedding invitations in the mail earlier rather than later. If your wedding is later in the month, you don’t want your invitation to get lost or caught up with the deluge of Christmas and holiday cards. This might be another reason to skip the winter themes and make your invitation stand out from the rest of the mail from this time of year.

Ceremony and reception
January offers many brides a chance to reduce costs and increase availability. Since a majority of venues and vendors are busiest during the summer months with brides and December with holiday parties, January can be a lull for most. Take advantage of lower off-season costs with vendors. And capitalize on lots of open weekends in January for your perfect – and efficient – wedding.

Your January wedding menu should include warm and hearty selections but steer clear of any holiday favorites. Your guests may have just enjoyed a month’s worth of holiday delights. Try a stuffed chicken breast for something different and delicious. Instead of a wedding cake, maybe cupcakes are in order?

At the bar, celebrate your wedding and brand New Year with champagne and champagne cocktails. Add the bubbly to orange juice or cranberry juice for delicious treats. Peach puree can make a tasty Bellini. And, of course, the classic champagne cocktail includes the sparkling wine, sugar and bitters. A champagne glass just might be the perfect touch for your wedding invitations and wedding favors, too. You’ll probably want to have some warm drinks handy, too. A coffee bar with flavored coffee, hot chocolate and cider and be a big hit in the cold weather.

Take the winter out of your January wedding
If you’re just plain sick of the winter, consider a totally different theme for your January wedding. A tropical theme will warm up your guests just fine. Add some Hawaiian décor and menu items and you’ll have a wedding luau in no-time. Or opt for a patriotic theme and celebrate like it’s the 4th of July. Turn your menu into a picnic and you’ll be feeling the summer warmth at your January wedding. Either of these themes can warm up your wedding invitations, too.

Take advantage of all that January has to offer and make your wedding memorable. Why fight with the June and July brides when you can have a great wedding and perhaps even save some money in the process.

When a couple is newlywed, the last thing they want to think about is final arrangements for their first days together and many honeymoon resorts take the worry about arrangements out of the picture, with all-inclusive deals. Travel arrangements can be included in the deals offered by several companies so the worry about getting to the honeymoon destination, is also taken out of the trip following the wedding.

Travel to honeymoon resorts can be an exciting time in newlyweds lives, as their focus is on their recent wedding and their future life together. When planned appropriately, the only things on their mind when they reach the destination is, checking in, looking forward to their time together and to get to know each other better on a more personal level. Newlyweds also watch and observe how each other interacts with their new spouse in a variety of situations.

While there are numerous ideas concerning the origins of the term honeymoon, as well as the tradition of newlyweds, when traveling for a honeymoon one popular theory is that it began when men and women often eloped and traveled to distant, secluded spots in order to hide from their families and others who were not in favor of their marriage. Today, honeymoon resorts cater to the newly weds, whether it is a far-off distant or a destination close to their home, the time is meant to be together in solitude and in an exotic and intimate atmosphere.

Some believe the term is lunar related, with weddings and trips taken between the time of main planting and harvest, when the first of the honey crop was ready for gathering. Others contend it has to do with the time of the year when the sun is low in the horizon, shining through the atmosphere offering the color of honey. Many of the honeymoon resorts have special rooms for the newlyweds, with decorative colors relating to the honeymoon.

There are honeymoon resorts offering simple accommodations such as a room with motel facilities open to guests and other that offer the chance to spend time in a secluded bungalow away from the rest of the guests. Access to motel amenities is typically through private passages to insure the couple has the privacy they expect when they travel to their honeymoon.

To limit the amount of travel on their wedding night, some honeymoon resorts offer wedding services on the premises along with the reception following. In these cases the weddings are usually small with a select number of guests traveling with the bride and groom to the honeymoon resorts and leaving once the reception ends. The newlyweds of course, will stay and enjoy their honeymoon. Typically, these arrangements are available in traditional vacation spots.

With such a wide variety of great destinations and options to chose from, choosing the right honeymoon spot may be easier said then done, since what is considered the “best honeymoon spot ” for one couple may certainly not appeal to another couple.

And here is an important aspect to consider. When you go on a Caribbean honeymoon you never have to worry about time because being in the Caribbean means that you are free to do what you choose regardless of whatever time-based pressures you might have in your normal every-day life. The tropical and rich Caribbean honeymoon resorts are a great way to start a married life for any couple. So of you are wondering where to spend your honeymoon, plan to start your lifetime of love and travel together on a Caribbean Honeymoon.

No two Caribbean islands are the same. The Caribbean islands are rich in activity, culture, entertainment and diversity. They stretch from the northern coast of Venezuela all the way to South Florida.

While you are there, apart from taking in the beautiful sunsets and the beaches you can also take part in other activities like hiking and snorkeling, walking tours, visiting volcanoes, exquisite dining, non-stop duty free shopping, horse back riding, and much more. Or you could simply go for a walk along the Caribbean Sea at any time you wish.
