Booking & Preparing For Your Honeymoon

By Steve Bruce

Your honeymoon ought to be a special time of relaxation and bonding. However, failing to appropriately plan a honeymoon can result in it being frustrating and stressful. Here is some advice to make sure your honeymoon goes as smoothly as possible.

The most important thing to do is to discuss with your future spouse their preferences in relation to the honeymoon. Do not presume that you already know the type of honeymoon your fiance would choose. Have a thorough discussion of location, budget, duration and accommodation. Both of you should initially create an individual list of preferences and you should then make a comparison and highlight areas that they have in common.

Consult with travel agents as they can be of great assistance with planning a honeymoon and can advise you based on your joint preferences. Honeymoons are a type of vacation in which travel agents still earn a commission on booking, meaning that they will commonly go out of their way to help you.

Once you have consulted with a travel agent and know the likely cost, create a honeymoon savings plan and start putting a money aside for it on a weekly basis. You could additionally enquire with the travel agent if they offer a honeymoon registry, that gives guests the option to contribute to your honeymoon costs in lieu of a wedding gift.

Try to pre-pay as much as possible. Incidental expenses like tips and souvenirs, tend to be manageable expenses, however, if you forget to allocate money for extra luggage, car rental or day trips, it is easy to find yourselves worrying about money when away.

Having booked and budgeted your money, the last thing to do is pack. Do this at least a week before departing because it will be something less to worry about in the hectic approach to your wedding. If you leave it until the last minute, the more chance there is of you leaving something behind. - 31363
