Honeymoon Canceled or Postponed? 5 Smart Next Steps to Replan Your Dream Trip
After chatting with many of my clients—and friends who own a beautiful wedding venue (@thewildsvenue)—I’ve learned that brides and grooms everywhere are struggling with how to adjust honeymoon plans after a cancellation or postponement.
If you’re in this situation, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it solo. Here’s an easy 5-step checklist to help you rework your honeymoon plans and get your dream trip back on track.
Feel All the Feels
First things first: it’s okay to be emotional about this change. Postponing your honeymoon wasn’t part of your dream wedding plan, and no one could have predicted that a pandemic (or unexpected circumstances) would affect your celebration.
So, give yourself permission to feel disappointed, frustrated, or sad. It doesn’t mean your dream honeymoon won’t happen—it just means the timing has shifted.
Review Your Vendor and Resort Policies
Before canceling, explore postponement options with your travel providers. Many resorts and travel companies are offering:
Waived change fees
The ability to keep your original rate
Free extra nights or room upgrades as a courtesy
If you purchased trip insurance, check whether you can recoup any costs for rescheduling. Always ask about potential fees and note down every detail of the conversation—who you spoke with, dates, and next steps.
Choose a New Honeymoon Date
Be prepared with multiple backup dates before calling to make changes. With so many weddings being shifted, your first choice may not be available.
Consider planning your honeymoon weeks or months after your wedding to give yourself flexibility and ensure availability at your dream destination.
💡 Pro Tip: Write everything down to avoid repeating long hold times or duplicate conversations later.
Start a New Countdown
Just because your honeymoon is postponed doesn’t mean the excitement has to stop!
Plan a destination-themed dinner night with your partner to keep the travel vibes alive.
Order some cute vacation outfits from favorites like @wearalibi and @dottiecouturebtq.
Start a fresh honeymoon countdown calendar to look forward to the big trip ahead.
Your dream honeymoon will be even sweeter once the wait is over.
