Tips to plan a perfect honeymoon
Couples have much to look forward to when planning their weddings . In addition to the momentous occasion when they say “ I do ,” couples can look ahead with excitement as they anticipate spending time with family and friends in a fun setting .
Though the wedding day is the focal point of couples ’ planning efforts , the post-wedding honeymoon also merits ample consideration .
A honeymoon is the first trip many couples take together after tying the knot , and many will never forget this special excursion .
As couples pore over the details of wedding planning , they may want to consider these tips to ensure their honeymoon is a trip to remember for a lifetime .
IDENTIFY YOUR DREAM TRIP . There are no rules regarding honeymoons . Though couples ’ budgets and professional obligations may factor into where they can go and how long their honeymoon can be , couples can discuss their dream trips and then determine if they can make those dreams come true on their honeymoon . Couples who have always aspired to backpack through Europe should consider that a possible honeymoon trip . If a food tour of Italy is on couples ’ bucket list , then investigate how feasible that might be for your honeymoon .
STAY UP ON CURRENT EVENTS . It can be easy for couples to get lost in the weeds while planning their weddings and miss what ’ s going on across the globe . However , knowledge of current events can be vital when planning a honeymoon . Faraway and exotic locales may seem tailor-made for a honeymoon , but that ’ s only the case if such destinations are not plagued by civil unrest , conflict , natural disasters , or other events that can affect how safe it is to visit such places . The U . S . Department of State maintains a free , easily accessible list of travel advisories at travel . state . gov . The Government of Canada maintains a similar list at travel . gc . ca . Couples are urged to visit these sites before booking their honeymoon , particularly if they hope to travel internationally .
CONSIDER AMENITIES AND ALL-INCLUSIVE PACKAGES . All-inclusive packages can be a great deal , particularly for couples who want their honeymoon to be all about relaxing at a single resort destination . All-inclusive packages cover the cost of food and most beverages , making these options both convenient and budget-friendly . When going this route , couples also should decide which amenities they want to access on their trip . Access to a gym and / or spa , activities like parasailing and other perks are just some of the potential amenities couples can look for as they choose a honeymoon destination .
COLLABORATE . A honeymoon may be the first trip couples take after tying the knot , and it can lay the foundation for future collaborative efforts . Planning travel is not always so easy , so couples can work together and make any necessary concessions so each person gets what they want out of the trip .
