Following a whole lot of wedding planning, the honeymoon is your earned reward as a romantic getaway with your new husband or wife. However, the honeymoon does not come without a little planning of its own and it is highly important not to leave it for the very last minute to avoid disappointment.
Approximately six months ahead make sure to set a budget for your honeymoon and soon following start discussing possible honeymoon destinations with your fiancé. This will lead you to start researching the possibilities and see which ones actually fit your budget. If you’re going to opt for help from a travel agent, now is also the time to do so. Start looking at hotels or residences and make sure they have rooms available for the length of your trip. Book flights and check luggage allowances. Think about what transportation methods you’re going to use and if you’re opting to rent a car, do so now. Make sure to check if your destination requires any vaccinations.
Around three months ahead make sure to get your passports or visas if they are expired or don’t have one yet and sign up for travel insurance just in case you require making use of a hospital abroad.
Two months ahead see if you should get your hands on a camera and make sure you have a luggage for your travels. Look at the tours you’d like to go to and book them. Start looking at the attractions you’d like to visit and get tickets for those.
Following and around a month ahead of your honeymoon, start making a list of items you need to pack or buy for your holiday. Also double check that you have booked everything you are intending to visit during your trip.
During the last few weeks make sure you have photocopies of passports, ID cards, insurance etc, just in case of an emergency. Also make sure that if you take any medications you have enough left to last you for the whole trip. Make sure to reconfirm flights and make arrangements for transport to and from the airport. Also see that your luggage is properly labelled!
…and voila, your trip is now planned and you’re ready to go!
