Get the honeymoon of your dreams, without breaking the bank
Everyone has booked a hotel room online before – but when it comes to booking a block of rooms for your wedding guests, what exactly do you do?
How do you make sure you’re picking the right hotel – and getting a good deal?
How do you make sure you aren’t left holding the bill for dozens of unbooked rooms?
How can you maximize what you get from the hotel block?
It is tricky finding all the different requirements and earning possibilities for the various hotel meeting rewards programs when planning your wedding, so I’ve compiled the major items into the table below.
You can use this to figure out if your wedding or wedding block will qualify as a meeting (it almost certainly will) so you can earn even more rewards through the hotel – and get more travel opportunities!

I’m a big fan of honeymoon registries – they give couples that already have enough ‘stuff’ a way to give their wedding guests a way to still give a gift – though in experiences rather than things.
But how exactly do they work?
How do your guests give gifts through them?
How do you get the money your guests give?
In this post I’ll explore how honeymoon registries work, and hopefully answer all of your questions.
Hawaii is one of my favorite places to visit, and I would recommend anyone who has never visited to make it a priority honeymoon destination.
Hawaii has a mystique that makes it seem very exotic – even though you aren’t really leaving the country to get there. Since I live in Florida, it is farther away than Europe, and much farther than anywhere in the Caribbean. As a result, it has even more of a special place in my mind, since the distance usually makes it that much harder to get there.
Fortunately, Hawaii is one of the easier destinations to travel to with points, and you can even get all the miles you need with just a single card sign-up bonus!
When discussing award flights, the subject of ‘stopovers’ and ‘open jaws’ inevitably comes up.
For most of you who are new to the miles and points scene, these terms are a little confusing. Usually, when you book a flight, you are traveling from one place to another, and then back – A to B and back to A. So all of this talk of crazy routings doesn’t seem to make much sense.
So what does it mean to get an award with a stopover or an open jaw, and how can you use them to your advantage?
