When it comes to planning a wedding, many of us get caught up in little details such as floral, food, favors, décor and music, while forgetting about a major important event that’s soon to take place post the wedding extravaganza period. In case you still haven’t guessed it by now, we’re referring to the honeymoon.
Honeymoon travels for a couple carry special significance and are as important to plan out as the other things on your checklist. After all, it’s the first time you’ll be spending time at a remote destination, legally pronounced as husband and wife.
Nailing the perfect honeymoon may seem simple at first but there are a number of components that need to be taken care of. From flip flops and plane tickets to hotel accommodations and more, here is your guide to stress free honeymoon travel planning done right this wedding season.
Get that budget sorted out from the start
Just like any other vacation, planning out your honeymoon expenses is super important and will save you from last minute stress too. Get organized and keep a lookout for discounts while avoiding peak season.
Having a travel agent on board makes life so much easier
Not a fan of added responsibility? Well, travel agents can help you get the right travel package and at the most cost effective rates too.
Choose your destination
Bali, Maldives, Switzerland or Sri Lanka, sort out the destination of preference and make it quick. You need to get those plane tickets booked with hotel reservations pouring in before it’s too late.
Schedule any transportation required
Heading to a new town with no transport can be tiresome and frustrating. Whether you wish to rent a car or use the local transport, the choice is all yours but knowing how you’ll be sightseeing beforehand is essential.
Dinner reservations at VIP restaurants require early bookings
Planning a romantic date for two at a special restaurant is so enchanting but requires a little extra effort too. Get those dinner reservations on point with early bookings to avoid last minute disappointment.
Passport renewals are a must ahead of time
Imagine planning out your honeymoon and not having your passports renewed in time. A big NO in our books so be sure to double check those expiry dates.
Sort out all the paperwork and documentation business
Travelling to a foreign country requires numerous documents and certificates which include the ever so important visa too. You need to have all the paperwork done and dusted in advance so you can enjoy your holiday together.
Get a hold of travel insurance
Getting your travel insurance sorted when travelling for the honeymoon period is recommended across the borders, so why wait last minute?
Make way for surprises
Planning your travels as a couple is always great but everyone loves surprises so why not go the extra mile and give your better half a memory to cherish, years from today.
Don’t be afraid to ask your hotel for special requests
An extra fruit basket, stunning scented candles, rose petals on the bed or simply an intimate dinner for two. Pull in those romantic wishes with your hotel management and see how willing they are towards obliging to your last wish.
