Honeymoon Ideas

Well summer is finally here and our wedding season is in full swing. I know some couples wait to go on their honeymoon and I wanted to offer a few suggestions to make the few days after your wedding feel special if you don't head out of town right away. Call it your "honeymoon at home", until you can get away to that white sand beach in Mexico or the magical streets of Paris. Enjoy!

• Hide all of your paperwork and lock your office door. Disconnect your cable and Internet. Don't let yourself get into your normal routine of watching prime time TV or glossing over your utility bills.

• Be a tourist. Contact Tourism Vancouver (www.tourismvancouver.com) request the information they would send to tourists, you may be surprised what you haven't seen here in our backyard!
  

• Rearrange your furniture. Move things around in your bedroom, living room and other high traffic rooms. If you have a guest room stay in there for a week! After you return from your wedding treat your house like a resort hotel. Pick up fresh new towels and matching bathrobes! Have flowers everywhere, hire a maid to clean everyday. Even put travel size shampoo and toiletries in your bathroom. Go out for dinner or order "Room Service" and have your dinner delivered.
  

• Relax at a spa together. Spend quality time with each other. A great spa in Vancouver, is A Touch Above (www.atouchabove.ca) This is one of my faves because it is a fantastic spa that pays attention to every detail.  
  

Just remember, after planning your wedding you need some time to relax and spend some quality alone time with each other. Have a fantastic summer and enjoy your honeymoons here in Vancouver or around the world!
