Your honeymoon is the time when you and your partner get to know each other as husband and wife. You may have been dating, but take this time to get to know the person you're going to spend the rest of your life with. Undoubtedly, planning a honeymoon is stressful especially since most of the energy is devoted to the madness of wedding planning.

Don't panic! We have put together a basic checklist that will help you plan the most amazing honeymoon ever! Follow these simple steps and we guarantee your honeymoon will be the vacation of a lifetime! Let's take a look.

Honeymoon Checklist Guide

1. Planning in Advance

This should go without saying but can sometimes get lost in the flurry of wedding planning. Do not forget to plan your honeymoon! Not only would it be the first vacation for you two as husband and wife, but also a time to wind down from the wedding celebrations.

Talk to your partner about possible destinations

Budget the trip

Plan time off from work

Research offers from various travel agents for tour packages, honeymoon specials etc.

2. Reservations Galore

You want to be prepared for this trip before it even begins. Book all stays, transport options, airport transfers, sightseeing options, etc. Look up dining options and see whether you require prior reservations for the same. You want your honeymoon to be blissed out, and relaxing. You don't want to spend your time with your spouse scrambling to find transport or reservations. Don't leave anything to chance.

Book stay options (hotels, homestays, resorts etc)

Book transport to and fro airport/train station etc.

Book transport within the destination for daily use

Make dining reservations

Look for couples activities offered in the area and make reservations

3. Documents

If travelling internationally, check for visa requirements much ahead of the travel date. For most international travel, your passport needs to be valid for a minimum of six months: keep that in mind in case you have to renew your passport. Though we are in a digital age, it never hurts to have physical copies of your travel iternaries and documents in case of any emergency. It is best to be prepared.

Check passport validity

Apply for Visa (if required)

Make copies of all documents in case of emergency

4. Check COVID-19 Restrictions

The pandemic might seem like a distant dream, but many countries still have restrictions in place for international travellers. Look for these, and make arrangements accordingly. You don't want your trip interrupted by mandatory quarantines or specific vaccine requirements, make sure your information is accurate and up-to-date!

Check for entry requirements

Print vaccine certificate in case of emergency

Arrange for RT-PCR/Rapid tests as required

5. Timeline for Trip

No matter the duration of your trip, have a plan in place for your entire honeymoon. Many resorts offer couple activities like painting, sculpture, spa days etc. Do your research and chalk out a rough iternary. Sitting by the pool or beach sipping cocktails also counts as an activity! Remember, it is a trip for you to connect and bond with your partner - don't make it a strict timetable but have options in case the mood strikes.

                                                          

Plan a rough iternary

Plan to see some new sights, and/or do an activity every day

Remember to sit back and chill!

6. Shopping List

Yes, shopping! Depending on what climate you are travelling to, you might need to purchase summer-wear, beach-wear, or winter clothes accordingly.

For beach/summer wear:

Pack swimsuits

Shorts, lighter clothing

Sunscreen! (very important!)

7. Don’t panic!

Most importantly, don't panic. Follow these easy steps and you are guaranteed to have the most stellar honeymoon! Remember, this time is just for your two - make the most of it.
