1. Ask for gift of a honeymoon You can defray cost of your honeymoon, or perhaps even cover cost entirely, by listing it on a honeymoon gift registry. A honeymoon registry works just like a wedding registry, but instead of buying you china your wedding guests buy you a trip to China (or honeymoon destination of your choice). Yes, your guests could just contribute cash toward your honeymoon, but giving a particular portion of honeymoon (dinner at a fancy restaurant, or a carriage ride through historic district of a far-off city, for example) is somehow more meaningful. You’ll find a number of honeymoon registries online; theBigDay.com and theHoneymoon.com are two of most established.

2. Exchange homes If you prefer to mingle with locals rather than other tourists, look into a home exchange for your honeymoon. In a nutshell, you go stay in someone else’s house while they stay in yours. Sound risky? Maybe—but tens of thousands of people have exchanged homes since 1950s. For an annual membership fee (usually around $50), home exchange clubs open door to thousands of people from around world who are interested in swapping homes. You could probably find a home exchange partner on your own, but home exchange clubs offer tools to help exchange goes smoothly. According to ExchangeHomes.com, a home exchange can cut your travel costs by as much as half. More importantly, though, you’ll get to live like locals, and perhaps make life-long friends.

3. Rely on hospitality of others Hospitality clubs can hook you up with people who are willing to host you in their private homes; largest such club has more than 23,000 members in 148 countries. Membership is usually free, although you’re asked to provide hospitality to others (on a voluntary basis) sometime in future. In addition to saving you money, it’s a great way to meet locals who can give you an insider’s perspective on your honeymoon destination. Other places you can look for free or reduced-cost accommodations include hostels (they’re not just for young and single anymore) and monasteries and convents, some of which open their doors to guests for little or no charge.
