The Rise of Mini-Moons as Prelude to Lavish Honeymoons

The trend for newlywed couples after their weddings is a mini-moon before embarking on an extravagant honeymoon trip. Mini-moons typically last five days and allow couples time off work without the pressure of limited paid time off from their employers. They serve as cheaper alternatives to traditional, more elaborate vacations while giving couples additional time to save money for a once-in-a-lifetime honeymoon experience. The concept gained popularity after the pandemic, with popular destinations including Miami, Bermuda, St. Bart’s, and New York City due to their ease of accessibility. Couples also consider finding an experience or setting that complements their wedding during these trips.
