Top 10 Tips for Creating a Memorable Honeymoon
1. Start planning your trip early
Most couple ask us,
how soon should we plan our Honeymoon? We often say, earlier the better. The
ideal timeframe is six to eight months prior to your travel dates, especially
if you're thinking about International honeymoon destinations. For domestic honeymoon
trips, we recommend 2 - 3 months of advance planning. The reason we say this is
because it doesn't let you compromise on your dream honeymoon. You are able to
freely think the options available for you. We often say, the excitement of
planning honeymoon trip is more beautiful for the couple, as planning a wedding
can be stressful. So, start planning your trips early.
2. Discuss together
We met thousands of
couple, who often come to us while they hustling to put the wedding
arrangements in place. Often, they divide the work and take up responsibilities
for wedding planning. While dividing and executing can work for wedding
planning, it's not always the best approach when it comes to planning your
honeymoon. If one person handles all of the planning of your honeymoon, you
might end up with a trip that's more tailored to their desires. We believe
honeymoon planning should be a joint effort. Thus, to all our meeting with
couples we recommend to talk to both the individuals as little things matter. This
enables us to curate intimate trip for the couple.
3. Be authentic, don't plan other couple's
honeymoon
Wedding planning can
be so involved that it's tempting to copy another couple's honeymoon itinerary.
But while your friends may have loved that no-stress, all-inclusive resort, you
might find it tamps your adventurous spirit. Or, maybe you've heard your
parents reminisce about their honeymoon in Maldives your whole life... but that
doesn't mean it's right for the two of you. It's fine to solicit advice from
friends and family, but take it with that proverbial grain of salt. This is
your honeymoon, after all, and it should be tailored to your interests.
4. Be clear about what you both want
When you think about
exotic destinations, does that mean a luxury resort on an island renowned for
its natural beauty? Or are you thinking about some faraway foreign country
where you don't speak the language? Daydream with your partner to figure out
what you both really want.This is very important as sometimes couples get
confused. They feel they want everything around the world. Being realistic
helps curate finer experiences that ensures both experience bliss.
5. Don't rely fully on online research
Most couple do not
know where to start their honeymoon planning process. Thus, taking them to
online search engine. Starting your honeymoon planning with a Google search is
perfectly fine, but don't rely only on search engines. Online reviews can paint
a picture that doesn't match reality and it's best to thoroughly vet your ideal
destination by talking to friends and family who have been there—and/or a
travel professional, too.
6. Set a budget for your honeymoon
Your wedding expenses
can tally up quickly and it's tempting to delve into the honeymoon budget to
cover any excess costs. But let's pause for a moment and really think about
this: On average, wedding ceremonies and receptions lasts six to eight hours,
while honeymoons last anywhere from seven to 10 to even 14 days. While you'll
never forget the memories of your wedding day, there's something to be said for
the special memories you'll create on your honeymoon, too.
7. Think about using a travel expert
If you want extra
guidance planning your honeymoon, travel agents can come in handy. They have
insider knowledge on deals and discounts and cultivate personal relationships
with hoteliers, which can sometimes mean a room's available in an otherwise
fully-booked hotel. They can also save you endless research time and offer
first-hand destination knowledge. Pick a specialist honeymoon planner as they
will not treat it like a booking, but ensure you 100% assurance on quality and
24x7 assistance. They understand the pulse of every couple and emotion behind
the trip.
8. Be aware of hidden costs
When you're planning
your wedding and your honeymoon, the last thing you want is to be caught
off-guard with any last minute surprise expenses. "Sometimes visas,
airport transfers and resort fees can cost a lot. Always make sure you
understand what is included in the cost of your bookings—for example, if you're
going to a really remote island, does your hotel rate include transportation to
and from the airport?" Once booked online, refund / change matters, so
decide if you want to take the risks of hidden costs..
9. Hotel inclusions
Say you want to be in
a suite that faces the ocean, so you'll be able to sip the Champagne and watch
the sunset from your balcony—it's important to make sure that your hotel known
your requests.. And even though you want to keep your schedule as flexible as
possible, some things do need to be booked in advance: Many resorts offer just
one private dinner on the beach each night, so that would need to be reserved
early. Check the special honeymoon inclusions they offering by letting them
know you are travelling for your honeymoon. Every hotel, cares to ensure their
guests have a memorable stay.
10. Schedule surprises
While it is great to
work side-by-side with your significant other to plan your honeymoon, try to
sneak a few surprises in there, too! Pricey or full-day activities are best to
discuss as a duo, but adding a couple's massage into the mix or scheduling a
special dinner they might not know about in advance is the perfect way to add a
bit of excitement to your romantic—and hopefully memorable—honeymoon vacation
together. Cheers to you both!
