Tips for Planning Your Honeymoon

Purchase your complete honeymoon in advance, including your air, hotel, and activities.

Make sure to leave at least one day in between your wedding day and your honeymoon trip. Most flights leave in the early morning, so you'll want to make sure you have everything and give yourself enough time to get to the airport.

Your passport may still be in your maiden name, so make sure the information on your air and hotel reservation matches your passport and any other required travel documentation.

Take a copy of your marriage certificate. Many hotels require proof of marriage to take advantage of special amenities exclusive for honeymooning couples.

Let your guests contribute to your once in a lifetime trip by registering with a honeymoon registry. Here, your guests will have the opportunity to purchase components of your honeymoon as gifts, such as a couple's massage, dinner on the beach, and much more.

This is a trip of a lifetime, so pamper yourself by flying first-class, upgrading your room to a suite, or by considering hotels that cater to honeymoon couples.

Go for the all-inclusive honeymoon package, with your food, beverages, accommodations, and amenities taken care of, it'll be one less thing on your mind as you travel and re-connect with each other after your big day.

Once you arrive at your honeymoon destination, remember enjoy yourselves. Indulge in this time with each other. Relax, rejuvenate, and make sure both of you are enjoying your honeymoon.
