What You Should Know When Planning the Perfect Honeymoon
If you’re planning a wedding, right now you are likely overwhelmed with the details — choosing napkin colors, caterers, making sure Aunt Martha is seated far enough away from Uncle Bob. There might be many decisions that you decide to push off for now, but don’t put off planning your honeymoon. Your honeymoon is different than any other vacation you will take. It’s not only the start of your life as a married couple but it is an extension of your wedding. This once-in-a-lifetime vacation is about celebrating your life together. Here are 5 tips you should know when planning the perfect honeymoon:
1. Planning the perfect honeymoon with your fiancé:
While you may be tempted to make a quick decision to check this item off your list, it’s a good idea for the two of you to plan this trip together. While it can be fun and romantic, in theory, to surprise your significant other with a trip, it can lead to missed expectations and disappointment. Talk with each other about a realistic budget and what type of trip you’d like to take. How much activity do you want? Do you want a relaxing tropical vacation sunning on the beach in Turks and Caicos or do you want to roam around Europe? Starting your life together on the same page will make for a much smoother and enjoyable trip.
2. Give yourself a break:
You have just been through a whirlwind of planning, parties and activity. Now is the time to rest and give yourself a break. Enjoy your down time together. You will be tired so the first couple of days of your honeymoon so don’t plan too many activities. Give yourself permission to sleep in, order room service and take full advantage of your hotel’s spa.
3. Be present:
Once there, forget about everything but the two of you. Sure you are going to want to take pictures to preserve the memories but leave them on your phone or camera until you get home. Don’t worry about getting the perfect Instagram filter or caption. Wait until you are home to post your pictures on social media.
4. Plan some surprises:
While the destination should be planned as a couple, it’s never a mistake to plan a romantic surprise once you arrive. Schedule a couple’s massage or a romantic dinner on the beach. If your significant other is a culture or history buff, look into museums or local cultural activities. Maybe have a special gift waiting in the room for your beloved. Remember this trip is all about making memories.
