<B><font color="#3F5498">Added on Thursday, May 19, 2005</font></B>:<BR>"<I>All Inclusive Honeymoons</I>"<BR><BR><p><b>All Inclusive Honeymoons</b><br />
Are you interested in an <a href="http://www.lake-arrowhead-weddings.com/honeymoon_package.shtml">all inclusive honeymoon</a>? When you hear “all inclusive honeymoon” you just might think of the many options in the Caribbean, but there is a honeymoon package company in California that offers many all inclusive plans. Michelle O’Connor, <a href="http://www.nowandforeverweddings.com/honeymoon_vacation.shtml">Honeymoon Vacation Packages</a>, offers her tips on planning the honeymoon of your dreams with a minimum amount of fuss and a whole lot of fun!</p>

<p><b>The Difference</b><br />
<i>What makes an all inclusive honeymoon different than a “ traditional” honeymoon?</i><br />
Truly all inclusive honeymoons include all pieces required for the trip, coordinating, and handling the details of the trip from the day the couple books, until they return.  Many all inclusive honeymoon companies work with their couples for up to one year prior to their wedding. An all inclusive honeymoon package should include coordination of the entire trip and all the travel vendors for a successful honeymoon (hotel, food, activites, entertainment, flight, rental car, honeymoon insurance, photos, cruise booking, lists of what to bring, travel tips for the area you are visiting, getting you the best price possible, etc.).</p>

<p>Depending on the time of year, many all inclusive honeymoon companies will run promotions offering free services with the packages. Such promotions may include a free professional portraits, a free gourmet dinner, or off-season discounts. The power of all inclusive honeymoons is that the couple gets all the best travel vendors at steep discounts. It would cost more for the couple to go out and put the honeymoon together themselves than it would to buy a complete honeymoon package, plus they get full travel planning with a professional staff and crew.  The newlyweds just finished enjoying the excitement and details of putting a wedding together!  Now it’s time for them to relax and let someone else do the hard part!</p>

<p>The couple should beware of “extra hidden fees.” Make sure your honeymoon company does not tack on additional fees at the last minute without telling you – ask up front. Having to deal with surprise fees as the wedding day and honeymoon approach can be a nightmare. Many complete honeymoon package prices even have the tax included.</p>

<p><b>Popular Honeymoon Packages</b><br />
<i>Where can couples get information on all inclusive honeymoon packages?</i><br />
Couples may visit the <a href="http://www.lake-arrowhead-weddings.com/honeymoon_package.shtml">All Inclusive Honeymoon</a> web page to receive more information on a variety of all inclusive honeymoon packages.  Plus – these packages are customizable!  Let us do the hard part – you make all the fun decisions!</p>

<p><b>Personalization and Custom Honeymoons</b><br />
<i>What special touches can couples add to an all inclusive honeymoon to personalize the package?</i><br />
The beauty of all inclusive honeymoon packages is that the couple customizes the package. The couple does not have specific selections they must adhere to; they bring their ideas and dreams and the perfect honeymoon is created. The honeymoon company should be there to offer suggestions and help guide them through all that is involved in planning the full-scale adventure that is a honeymoon.</p>

<p><b>Simplification – You Will Have Just Gotten Married!  Now It’s Time To Relax And Enjoy Your Time Together!</b><br />
<i>How do all inclusive honeymoon packages simplify a couple’s work in setting up the trip?</i><br />
All inclusive honeymoon packages save couples countless hours of work! Planning and putting together the specifics of a full-scale event, which a honeymoon is, takes numerous hours and travel event expertise. The couple should meet (in person or via phone) with their all inclusive honeymoon company, tell them their wishes, and the company should make it happen.</p>

<p>With many <a href="http://www.nowandforeverweddings.com/honeymoon_vacation.shtml">honeymoon vacation packages</a> the couple gets the best professional travel vendors at steep discounts. All inclusive honeymoon companies represent volume business for travel vendors. The couple is a one-time client and does not have the bargaining power that a volume client does. Many all inclusive honeymoon companies use their bargaining power to save couples money and time.</p>

<p>With an all inclusive honeymoon you don’t have to worry about:<br />
·	Performing endless travel vendor interviews. <br />
·	Mailing out several different deposits and contracts. <br />
·	The timing of flights, car rentals, hotel check ins, train rides… <br />
·	Pricing each vendor, then pricing again, then double checking one more time.<br />
·	Who will setup the flight? <br />
·	Who will advise you of what to watch out for at your destination? <br />
·	Who will tell you what not to miss out on? <br />
·	Triple confirming arrival times, services, activities, flights, etc. </p>

<p><b>Trends</b><br />
<i>Are you seeing any trends in all inclusive honeymoons?</i><br />
More couples are choosing all inclusive honeymoon packages. With today’s busy lifestyles, buying a complete honeymoon package you can customize to your own tastes and desires—while getting a better price than if you did it yourself can’t be beat. Couples should shop around to see what it would cost them to piece together their own honeymoon (not to mention their time, usually over 50 hours), then compare it to the all inclusive honeymoon packages that are available.  Even if you already have a travel company you are working with, we welcome you to examine these complete honeymoon packages as a reference of what you might expect from a comparable company. Your complete honeymoon package company should offer you discounted pricing and a stress free trip that is designed around your own wishes and dreams!</p>
