Honeymoon in Hawaii - Time delay?

pammysue215

Definitely planning on Hawaii for my honeymoon but now just have to figure out timing before I start the rest! We live in Cali but our wedding is in PA and with our work schedules, it might be better to postpone our honeymoon until a month after the wedding. Has anyone out there done this? Were you happy with this decision? Trying to decide if it makes sense. I know no matter what we will have an amazing time but it will be hard to go back to work right after the wedding but I will be less stressed if we postpone to November. Also, we would postpone to a timing around Thanksgiving in Hawaii, is this a pricier time than mid-October? Or still low season so shouldn't change much? Any help or input is appreciated!

We're delaying our honeymoon several months. We're getting married in September, and planning a ski honeymoon to Aspen - which we obviously can't do until Feb/Mar.

It's all about what works for you.  If you want, you can do a mini-moon right after the wedding, stay in a nice local hotel (or a short drive) for 2-3 nights, just so you aren't going right back to work.  Then when the timing works better, you can do your 'big' honeymoon trip.

Yeah, I think a month is nothing.  Good way to spread out the lovin;)

We have  our honeymoon a week afterour wedding...so I decided to fit in a few days of work so I didnt waste precious holiday time.

We were in Hawaii over Thanksgiving and prices were definitely higher in Maui for that week.

Our wedding was in July. We went on our honeymoon 6 months later (January).  I'm not sure exactly what your concern might be.

Waiting a little is totally fine

Thanksgiving is one of the most expensive times to fly, and with rising fuel prices, Novemer will be a VERY expensive month for flying. Just FYI.

Thanks everyone. Still can't decide and yes, rising fuel prices are getting brutal! I could put Thanksgiving as the middle weekend on the 2 week trip so save on not travelling on peak holiday travel days but am still going to need to dive further into hotel prices, etc. for comparison!
