What is the latest after a wedding.....

It wasn't anything to do with travel agents/upgrades etc. Was more to do with when we as a 'bride' would see latest is for saying 'we're off on honeymoon' and when we'd feel it was the holiday period.

I think the sweet month afterwards explains it well and think if we did go away at the end of the year I'd just class it as a holiday rather than a honeymoon.

Its nothing to do with money, more Austrailia/new zeland (I'm guessing) and so that's when he'd like to visit ideally for weather etc.

i think a honeymoon is the couples first holiday together after the wedding
now when this would be could be down to the couple

as an mse if you were getting married say in august its probs best to go away sept/october when its cheaper

Why do you need to know? I don;t think it matters.

I went on honeymoon 2 days after my wedding and got freebies.
But, I also know friends who've told travel companies that they're on honeymoon and got freebies and they aren't even married.

No one, at any point, asked for proof!

How did you get freebies? It would be nice to get some, but short of doing a Monica and Chandler ("We're MARRIED!") I'm not sure how I'd let the travel company know.

When we booked it (Thomas Cook Style) there was a box to tick if you were on honeymoon. There was one for 'special anniversary' and stuff like that, too.

We got wine and fruit in our room, a free meal in a nice restaurant by the sea, balloons, the bed was covered in beautifully arranged petals, a lovely heart shape pillow with 'Congratulations' written on it in Turkish (it sits on our bed now), a massage offer from the hotel spa and a pebble that the hotel craft staff painted with pictures of us and our names and wedding date on. It was all so very lovely.
Our hotel was the sort that was popular with honeymooners though.

We have normally been asked to indicate whether there is any special occasion on our checking in forms although I think my travel agent will be letting the island know anyway.

Any holiday I have next year is a honeymoon as far as I am concerned :rotfl:makes absolutely no difference to the bookings or where we go but I just feel better if I have two or three honeymoons

Oh, we didnt have that or not that I noticed when we booked it. No freebies for us then.

Who did you book with? Give them a call and say that you wanted to let them know that you'll be on honeymoon. Just say you had a friend who got some nice extras at their hotel and thought it couldn't do any harm to let them know that you are too. They must get it all the time.

There's nothing to stop you mentioning it when you're checking in too. When they say welcome to 'So and So', just say 'Thanks, we're on our honeymoon!' :-)
