You ladies have all been so supportive and given me such great advice, I wanted to see what your thoughts are on this. FI and I are getting married on 12/12 (Friday). Our idea was to take a mini honeymoon to the Poconos that Saturday to Monday. then we started talking...we've started a tradition of ringing in the New Year in the Poconos. (My bday is New Year's Day). We started thinking should we take that tradition and make it into a mini birthday/honeymoon? Since we're paying for the wedding ourselves we won't have the money to go twice. Thoughts??

    I don't even understand what you question is?

    Are you asking our permisson to take a trip? You don't need a reason to celebrate or take a trip.

    Do what works for you! :) It doesn't matter when you take your honeymoon. Many couples delay their honeymoon for many types of reasons.

    We delayed our honeymoon because we couldn't afford to travel right away (plus we were running out of vacation days).

    If you're going to go somewhere that requires a lot of travel and maybe activity, I would definitely suggest delaying the honeymoon. Right after the wedding, you're going to want to rest, not hop on a plane for ages. I think having your "birthdaymoon" would be very cool!

    Take your honeymoon whenever you want to. It's just a vacation. Whether or not it coincides with New Year/your birthday is totally up to you. I personally think it would be a good use of money and vacation time to combine them if it makes sense to you!

    If it would make getting time off from work easier, I'd wait and go for New Year's. We are taking a 12 day honeymoon. I timed it so that it partially coincided with my winter break from work, so I only have to take 5 vacation days.

    I think she was just wondering if they should go to the Pocono's the weekend of the wedding, or New Years weekend instead. 

    I say sure why not go for New Year's if that's already your tradition. It's only a few weeks later and it will just as special.

    Go for it, since you can't go twice. We got married in March and didn't HM until July/Aug. No problems with a delayed HM

    I'd combine them too! Our honeymoon will be a few weeks before my 30th birthday, so we're considering it our honeymoon/celebrating my birthday a little early!

    Ya I agree with pps, you can go on your honeymoon when you're really able to, no need to break the bank for that! A mini vacation of birthday moon as you call it sounds great though :)

    I think it sounds like a good idea, as long as you don't mind delaying. Especially if you can make the trip a little longer by combining.
