Your honeymoon is no ordinary trip. Its in your best interest that you don’t see it that way either. Trust us when we tell you that your honeymoon is most definitely a big, big deal to your bride. Just like her wedding, she has been fanaticizing about her honeymoon for years. And just like her wedding, her honeymoon must be perfect as well. So with this in mind, you can pretty much forget your plan to toss a few pair of socks, underwear, two shirts and a pair of jeans in a bag and head off your exotic honeymoon location. Odds are you need advice on how to pack. There is a lot of attention given to brides as to what they should take on their honeymoon, but us guys are often completely overlooked.
This list should serve as a good beginning point to help grooms think through what it is that they will need to bring with them for their honeymoon. As you begin to organize your trip, you will likely think of all sorts of small items that you may need to bring. That is a good thing.
Do Yourself A Favor-Don’t Rush: Whatever you do, don’t wait until the last second to begin packing. Waiting until the last moment to do your packing will likely cause you to stress out. This could lead to a fight with your bride. Now that is a horrible way of beginning a honeymoon! Think carefully about what will need on your trip a good month in advance, and then pack your bags at least a week in advance.
Dress the Part of a Gentlemen: Nothing makes the ladies swoon like a sharp dressed fellow. Keep this in mind when packing. A few slick outfits for your fine dining experiences is a very good idea. Your bride will also appreciate the effort you have shown as well.
Say No To Creases: The crease is your enemy. The last thing you want is to arrive at your honeymoon destination only to find that all of your clothing is completely creased. After all who feels like ironing after a ten-hour or even a twenty hour travel day? To keep this from happening, pack clothes that don’t wrinkle easily. Consider dry-cleaning an outfit. Dry cleaned clothes are more resistant to wrinkles and creases.
Turn on the Sexy: You have the rest of your life to be boring in bed. This is your honeymoon and you need to turn it up a notch. Make sure you pack some sexy sleepwear of your own. Your honeymoon is a great opportunity to bring out of sexy boxers or briefs that your bride has not seen before.
Pack To Avoid The Pharmacy: Contemplate your pharmacy needs well in advance, and make sure you have condoms and lubricants handy. Running from place to place in an unfamiliar city looking for such sensitive items could prove stressful.
The Carry On Bag-Your Backup Plan: A smart travel knows the value of packing a couple of days of clothing in their carry on bag. This way if your luggage is lost you still have a change of clothing.
Use Your Hotel: Think through what your hotel has available for free. Any respectable hotel will have soap, shampoo and the like. This, of course, means that you don’t have to pack every single toiletry item that you might need.
