After months of wedding planning and preparations, going on a honeymoon is a much-needed respite. For many couples, their honeymoon is more than just a break; it's their new beginning of an exciting expedition together with their partner. A long, exotic trip to a beautiful destination with your partner sounds brilliant.
While it sounds blissful, the task of honeymoon planning can get stressful. From selecting the best honeymoon destinations to booking the tickets and planning the budget, it can be an overwhelming string of processes. There are a lot of things you need to keep in check once you select your honeymoon destination. Here's a list of tips that'll help you plan a great honeymoon-
Start early to get the best deal
Don't wait for your wedding ceremonies to get over to start your honeymoon planning. Confused? Don't worry! We will tell you the best time to book your honeymoon. The perfect time to book your honeymoon is 3-4 months before the date of the wedding. Finalize a destination and start the booking process to grab the best deals.
Make a budget
Fixing a budget is one of the most important steps to plan a perfect honeymoon. You don't want to compromise or run out of money in the middle of your exciting expedition. Clear your head, make a plan, and start listing down the expenses. Look for choices that will save money, which you can further spend on getting a new experience.
It is ideal to keep an average daily spend in your mind. Back the budget with some extra cash for extra expenses, and then book a package that fits in your budget.
Book plane tickets and hotel rooms
When you book flight tickets in advance, there are chances you can save big and crack an exciting deal. Booking your tickets early will also help you get a nonstop flight. Missing a connecting flight due to bad weather and spending the night in an airport hotel? Ugh! Not at all, romantic!
Confirm the location you want to stay and get a hotel in the same vicinity. Planning can give you great deals on hotel rooms as well. For ex- hotels in Europe are small, so good ones usually fill up fast. Also, you should have a few options handy before you start contacting hotels.
Scheduled transportation
Finalized your itinerary? Great! Buy train tickets, rental cars to make your transportation hassle-free. Even if you are going to an all-inclusive beach resort, you'll need transportation to and from the airport.
Check your passport; apply for a visa
Make sure your passport is not expired as the turnaround for renewing a passport is at least a month. On the other hand, if you don't have a passport, applying for it ASAP will be a better idea. Also, apply for a visa or any other necessary documentation if the country you're visiting requires it.
Keep an extra copy of your documents
Keep copies of your passport, visa, driver's license, credit cards, and any other vital documents handy in case they get lost or stolen.
Get travel insurance
Imagine having your flights cancelled due to natural calamity. Scary! Isn't it? Often taken as an unnecessary expense, a
travel insurance policy is one of the most important things to take care of while you are travelling abroad. Make your once-in-a-lifetime trip secured with a travel insurance plan.
Keep all these tips in mind to plan a perfect honeymoon. We wish you a safe and happy journey!
