Planning a weekend getaway or just an overnight stay in a bed and breakfast allows you to step away from the whirlwind of wedding planning \u2013 particularly in those last hectic weeks before the wedding \u2013 and re-connect as a couple without spending a fortune.<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to fly away to Tahiti or St. Lucia or any other top honeymoon locale in order to take your <strong>pre-honeymoon<\/strong> trip. Not when our state offers so many exciting destinations at the shore points in Ocean and Cape   May Counties, golf resorts and ski areas in Sussex County, and more. Our New Jersey brides and grooms say they plan their getaways for our state\u2019s wealth of exciting and indulgent vacation spots, many of which they visit annually, or where they \u2013 or friends &#8212; might even have shore or ski houses. They\u2019re booking weekend stays and overnighters at the following types of locales:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Upscale casino hotels like the Water Club or the Borgata in Atlantic City, where they can enjoy spa treatments, first-class service, the thrill of gambling, and perhaps taking in a concert or comedy show.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Quaint beach towns, such as Cape May in Ocean County or Spring Lake, where they can ride bikes, relax in the sun, go shopping, and eat at wonderful restaurants overlooking the ocean at sunset, watching the dolphins at play in the distance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Lovely, Victorian bed and breakfasts. They\u2019re not just in Cape May, although you\u2019ll find some of <strong>New Jersey<\/strong><strong>\u2019s<\/strong> <strong>best B&amp;Bs<\/strong> there. Visit www.BnBFinder.com to locate sweet and charming <strong>bed and breakfast<\/strong> establishments all over New Jersey, from the northernmost, mountainous points to shore points and in suburban areas in between. Friendly innkeepers see to your needs and make you a delectable breakfast in the morning. Some of our brides and grooms stay at B&amp;Bs during <em>weekdays<\/em> to nab great discount prices.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Brand-name hotels. Your nearby Westin, Hilton or Ramada may offer romantic weekend packages that allow you to stay in a suite, welcomed with complimentary champagne and strawberries, and a lavish brunch the next morning. You can laze by the pool, order room service, enjoy a five-star dinner, and act like you\u2019re on vacation even though you\u2019re only a few miles from home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Ski resort areas. You might choose your favorite <strong>New Jersey<\/strong><strong> ski resort<\/strong> town, or pack for a road trip to a notable ski resort in a neighboring state. If you decide to stay off the slopes in protection of your ankles and knees before the big day, you can enjoy the ski lodge scene, go on tours, enjoy fine dining, and soak in an outdoor hot tub as a light snow falls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>New York City<\/strong><strong>. <\/strong>A quick ride into the city delivers you to a cultural mecca, and you might surprise your partner with tickets to a Broadway show or a limousine ride to a notable hotspot. Stay in a fine hotel and go celebrity-spotting at the city\u2019s best-known star hangouts, or just walk hand-in-hand through Central  Park during the afternoon.
