Too often for couples, honeymoons are an afterthought to wedding planning. If you think about it, you spend a year or more planning your wedding which takes place in one day. However, the majority of couples fail to plan appropriately for their honeymoon which is usually anywhere from one week up to as long as two weeks.
Renee Duane of Unforgettable Honeymoons says “A honeymoon is an investment in memories for the rest ofyour life. Don’t take chances with it.” Instead, she recommends starting with a conversation. “Sit down and talk about the level of luxury and privacy you want, what you want to do every day, and the type of entertainment you desire.” This will better help youdetermine where and what type of honeymoon you want to go on.
Where to Begin?
Talk! Talk! Talk! Communicating will get you everywhere not just in planning your honeymoon but in planning your new lifetogether. Finding out what your mate’s expectations are and matching them with yours will make honeymoon planning easy.
Here are a few basic questions you might want to discuss with your mate:
- Do we want to save or splurge? (I say go ahead and splurge, it’s your honeymoon)
- Do we want sunshine or snow (we opted for sunshine… Mexico here we come!)
- Do we want a cruise, a honeymoon package and all inclusive resort or a trip tailored just for the two of us? (Matt and I are going with the all inclusive resort. It’s easy, convenient, and affordable!)
Your honeymoon is the trip of a lifetime and perfect honeymoons don’t just happen. They have to be carefully planned. The more you do your honeymoon homework, the more romantic-and the more fun-your honeymoon will be.
