Honeymoons are too often an afterthought to wedding planning, when, in terms of memories, they are just as significant as your day in church. Your honeymoon is an occasion that you’ll remember for the rest of your life, so give careful consideration to honeymoon ideas and honeymoon locations.
Initially decide what your objectives are for the trip and what you absolutely can’t do without. Where do you want to go? Do you want to relax or be active? What are your priorities? Beautiful weather, sightseeing, adventure, cost, etc.
Trips to secluded beach resorts or islands are traditionally popular, for obvious reasons. They mean that you can enjoy quality time with each other whilst relaxing from the busy timetable of the last six months and losing yourselves in beautiful surroundings.
Another option is to take a cruise; they offer an equally quiet, relaxing time whilst at the same time making it possible to visit a host of different locations. Should you prefer a more action-packed honeymoon, give consideration to a mountain resort or an adventure travel trip (such as backpacking or a safari).
Regarding honeymoon locations, these are some of the most popular: Australia, Bahamas, Bali, Canada, Costa Rica, Egypt, France, Hawaii, Maldives, Seychelles, Spain.
Whatever kind of location and honeymoon you decide on, look to book it at least 6 months in advance so that you’ll have the pick of the rooms, and can begin planning in general. See if there is a ‘romance’ or ‘honeymoon’ package available to enhance your time away; extras such as penthouse rooms, champagne and bouquets of flowers will make your time away more memorable still.
As soon as your hotel is arranged, starting researching and booking tours, tickets, restaurant seats, and any other activities for which advance reservations can be needed, especially if you’re going on your honeymoon in the summer months (bear in mind that different locations will have different peak seasons).
Your overall objective should be to make your honeymoon different to an ordinary vacation. In addition to normal vacation items, try taking some fun extras with you, like romantic music, candles, bubble bath, massage lotion and lingerie. Also, be sure to take a video camera and pocket camera with you, as it’ll be a time that you’ll want to remember forever.
