We are planning our trip – again. Yes, again! Every year, we have consciously set aside two parts of the year to go oversea together as husband and wife.

Last year, we went to Hong Kong and we found cheap Hong Kong hotels. Why do we want to go to Hong Kong? In Hong Kong, it is a paradise for shoppers on its own. There are also many types of food to eat and you may not even have time to eat because you will be out there shopping like a fanatic. There are numerous Hong Kong-style and Japanese-style department stores, such as Times Square and Sogo. Causeway Bay is another Hong Kong’s shopping, gourmet and entertainment center which you must vist while in Hong Kong. Of course, there are plenty local food to try out in the restaurants on the streets! So you would need to spend at least 5 days in Hong Kong.

Your wedding is in a month’s time and you are short of US$15,000 for some immediate payments.

What can you do?

You can call off your wedding…(just joking)

You can borrow from your family members or swipe your credit card dry or rob the bank.

If you are planning your wedding right now, one of the important stuff you may overlook is hotel reservations for your honeymoon.

Wedding budget is definitely tight (unless you are really rich!) and couples are mostly looking for the lowest rate they can find.

In the midst of busyness, hotel reservation seemed to become among the last priorities due to the reason that honeymoon is after the wedding.

“So who cares what is after the wedding? Lets settle what is to be done till the wedding” – this is what most brides and grooms will think.

What about those who have suddenly awakened and realised that they should book their hotels for their honeymoons?

Looking at the hundreds of hotel booking sites, printing them out to compare the rates are good ways to be overwhelmed and become lost.

Don’t forget you have a million and other to-do tasks on your wedding to-do list!

In fact, there is no need to go through this hassle of browsing all the hundred sites to get the best bargain.

Here are 3 ways you can do it – stress free.

Choosing the right wedding favors depends on your wedding theme.

You got to choose the right one to suit your ambience and wedding environment. Somehow, though the favors are small in size, they do affect the whole feel of your wedding at least at the subtle level.

There are many wedding favors to choose from and the traditional ones include chocolate, candies and candles.

Now, there are much more than these traditional choices.

In fact there are hundred or even thousands to choose from from general ones to customised ones to even personalised ones with your wedding photos or names.

1. Bridal Shower Favors

Bridal shower favors can be fun, but they definitely aren’t mandatory. A great way to incorporate favors into the shower is to use them as part of a theme.

If the bride is planning a flower-themed wedding, you could hint at this by giving away honey pot favors to represent the bees to the honey from the flowers. A spa themed shower will be fun to have spa-related favors.
