How To Organize A Honeymoon

Among the many things that we must plan during a wedding, we cannot forget to organize a honeymoon as we deserve.

After months of nerves, anxiety and emotions on the surface and  the first trip as spouses must be perfect. Pay attention to the following tips to have a great time and enjoy it to the fullest.

Tips for organizing a honeymoon

The first married trip is very special, no matter what destination is chosen or how many days it lasts. To organize a successful and unforgettable honeymoon (for the better) we recommend that you follow these tips:

1. Set the budget

A wedding is not something very cheap, even if we want a simple celebration, it will be expensive. The same thing happens with the honeymoon. However, we can find the most suitable low-cost destination.

We can choose from an “all inclusive” on a Caribbean island or a backpacking trip through Thailand. The budget is a determining factor along with our tastes.

The budget also helps us to have a notion of what we should save and what is our “maximum” expense. So we can provide additional elements: excursions, gifts, souvenirs, etc.

Something very common in recent years is that guests give away money to pay for the honeymoon. The idea is that they can do it in advance and not on the day of the party. So the couple know how much money they have to make the trip or at least to pay a part of it. They can use these presents to pay for hotels or excursions or also some extra expense that may arise.

2. Define the date

It is believed that the honeymoon should be immediately after the wedding, but that is not the case. Although many boyfriends take advantage of work and vacation leave to have more days, the truth is that we can travel whenever we want.

Defining the date in advance helps you get better prices on flights or hotels. It also allows us to request days in our employment, organize excursions, etc.

3. Determine the type of trip

To organize a honeymoon it is essential that both of you agree on most decisions. This is what a healthy and balanced couple is based on. Therefore, before deciding on your destination, determine what you would like to do on your first married trip.

Perhaps you are fascinated by the idea of ​​lying on a beach all day or touring a city from end to end. Perhaps you are more “adventurous” ‘and wish to go free to Southeast Asia. Or ski in winter in the Alps.

The important thing is that the tastes of both can be combined so that the trip is beautiful. If there is no agreement, the stay can be “halved” and each one’s dreams fulfilled. For example, go a few days to the beach and others to the mountains.

4. Choose “all-inclusive” options

It is true that they can be more expensive than “going it alone”, but when it comes to organizing a honeymoon you don’t want to complicate your existence. The “all inclusive” packages are the salvation for not occupying ourselves or worrying about anything.

They take us to the hotel, they offer us all the daily meals, we can opt for different excursions, they include medical insurance… the couple only has to think about enjoying themselves and nothing else.

Analyze if a trip of this type does not end up being even cheaper than one organized by yourself. And also, keep in mind that you will be busy with the details of the wedding to also add the honeymoon to your worries.

5. Download some useful application

Brides of the 21st century are very well assisted with applications that are downloaded to the mobile and that help them with every detail of their wedding. There are also some that include a section for the honeymoon.

These apps allow us to save time and money, save our search history, recommend destinations, make us a “countdown” of the trip, offer us a list of things we should bring, and so on.

6. Make a must-have list

Finally, to organize a wonderful honeymoon, it is essential that nothing is missing. We refer to both documents and money, through clothing or information. The lists work very well if we want to have everything in view.

Make a list with what you should pack, another with the important data of the stay, places to visit, etc. It may seem boring, but it will avoid a lot of trouble.

7. Be flexible

Perhaps your dream honeymoon included a Mediterranean cruise, a hot air balloon ride, or a beachfront cabin in the Maldives. But for reasons of money, time or tastes of the other, it will not be possible to fulfill that wish. Do not be discouraged! You will always have the possibility of making that trip in the future.

The important thing now is that you can enjoy the first experience away from home as spouses as a couple. Even if the budget is only enough for a weekend getaway to a farm a few miles from home.
