How about having a FREE honeymoon paid for by you wedding? Did you know that this is possible!

What you must do is to pay as much as possible for your wedding on a credit card that has Membership Reward Points or Air Miles such as American Express - www.americanexpress.com or a VISA / Mastercard supplier. By using this card and earning one point for one dollar, you can then redeem these reward points for air travel or holiday accommodation.

Where you really gain momentum is when you use your card with e.g. American Express bonus partners - for example Wyndham Hotels & Resorts - www.wyndham.com. If you have your wedding reception there, you can earn between 5,000 - 25,000 bonus points. Wow ! Now, if you stay there as well (which you would) you would earn another 250 points. How about paying for your guests who stay at the accommodation and get them to pay you back?. You can say that you get a special rate however you need to pay for them. This means say you have 6 guests stay = 6 * 250 = 1,500 points. All in all, having your reception there and staying at a Wyndham hotel could net you between 7,000 - 30,000 points.

Did you know that 35,000 points would take one of you to Hawaii from the USA with American Airlines?

One word of caution, try and pay off your credit card each month to avoid interest charges!
