We’ve put together a handy guide for you to ensure you’ve covered everything (and we mean everything!) as you go on your honeymoon…
Congratulations, newlyweds! The big day was a blast, and now it’s time for the honeymoon, an opportunity to disconnect from everyone and everything for a few days and focus on each other. But, before you take off to paradise, let’s talk about packing because this isn’t just any vacation, after all!
Planning for your wedding is stressful enough without adding packing for your honeymoon to your plate. Whether you’re jetting off straight after the ceremony or taking a breather before kicking off the honeymoon, this list will be your lifesaver. You’re welcome!
All right, let’s move past these. Yes, you will need your passport, wallet, and phone charger. But let’s spice it up. Pack a cute set of his-and-hers luggage tags or complimenting travel pillows, It’s your honeymoon, even your essentials should scream togetherness!
Life happens. Store a ‘just-in-case’ kit so you are prepared for all emergencies. It can carry pain relievers for unexpected hangovers, a stain-removing pen given you never know when your romantic dinner could end up on your outfit, a supply of safety pins for quick fixes, peppermints for those spontaneous kisses, and a pair of miniature bottles of your loved fragrances that’ll keep you smelling fabulous throughout your vacation.
No journey is complete without killer music. Compile a listening list of significant tunes for the two of you, including dancing grooves and iconic love songs. Bonus points if you add cheesy oldies to sing along!
Whether trekking in the highlands or sunbathing on the shoreline, be prepared. Grab a waterproof phone cover for those astounding underwater selfies, a set of compact, collapsible binoculars for bird-watching or scenic views from your balcony, and a variety of chic sunglasses that fit your every mood. And always remember our holy grail: The SUNSCREEN because lobster-red is not a good look for anyone.
Honeymoon nights call for extra snuggles. Bring an airy blanket for stargazing, a little portable speaker for random twirling sessions or ethereal sundown serenades on the beach, along with your beloved bites for late-night cravings. And if you’re feeling extra lovey-dovey, keep a polaroid camera to capture instant memories and create a whimsical honeymoon scrapbook.
Finally, keep the romance rolling with a pre-planned hideaway. Prepare a love letter to surprise your partner, an unusual present, or perhaps some fun game like a deck of conversation starter cards or travel-sized board games. These tiny treats will keep the sparks flying throughout your trip.
So there you have it – the ultimate honeymoon checklist. Fun, unconventional, and fully equipped to make your post-nuptial voyage spectacular. Now, go on and honeymoon with the exuberance and charm of a couple ready to conquer the world together!
