5. Use Frequent Flier Miles
One perk of putting thousands of dollars of wedding expenses on your credit card is that you can use your rewards to buy your honeymoon plane tickets. If you have enough frequent flier miles or points, you may be able to pay for some or all of your accommodations as well. If you don’t have enough for a whole flight, see if you can at least get a mileage upgrade from coach. 

6. Go All-Inclusive
An easy way to blow a vacation budget is with incidentals. By the time you add up the cost of meals, entertainment and activities, you may be way over what you planned to spend. The beauty of all-inclusive resorts (and cruises) is that you know exactly what your trip will cost upfront. All-inclusive rates typically include accommodations, meals, activities, entertainment and airport transfers. Some packages don’t include alcoholic drinks and certain other expenses, so be sure to read the resort policy carefully to make sure you know what you're getting.

7. Say, “It’s My Honeymoon!”
You’d be surprised how much you can get for free just by letting people know you are honeymooning. You might get a nicer hotel room or free champagne with dinner. If you’re really lucky, you might even get bumped up to first class.
