ESSENTIAL HONEYMOON TIPS
WEDDING PLANNING GUIDE
You’re finally married after months of planning and now it is time to enjoy the beginning of your married life together on your honeymoon. Here are a few tips to help your honeymoon together go smoothly...
Set a budget and stick to it. Try and save money for activities while you’re away.
Consider a honeymoon gift list that your guests can buy or contribute to as gifts.
Remember there are countless options for your honeymoon and try not to limit yourself to just looking through holiday brochures. Try browsing the internet, using guidebooks and asking friends and family for advice on your destination.
There are no rules about how you honeymoon. Choose the honeymoon that is right for you and don’t be afraid to think outside the box.
Make sure you tell everyone that it is your honeymoon! Telling people it is your honeymoon will open doors, from free hotel room upgrades and champagne on arrival to rose-petal baths and candlelit dinners. Share your happy news with everyone!
If you are changing your surname make sure the name is correct on your travel documents and matches the name on your bookings.
If your budget allows it consider upgrading your flights to first class for a special treat. However this can be very expensive and that money could be spent on hotel room upgrades instead.
With all the excitement of the honeymoon planning don’t forget to book insurance. Make sure the insurance will cover those shiny new wedding rings too.
