Planning a honeymoon is one of the most exciting parts of getting married, but figuring out what to pack can be a bit daunting. Whether you’re jetting off to a tropical paradise or exploring a romantic city, having the right essentials can make all the difference in your travel experience. From thoughtful travel activities to a comprehensive packing list tailored for your adventure, we’ve got you covered for a stress-free and unforgettable getaway with your new spouse.
Honeymoon Travel Tips
Pack together to save space. If you’re planning to check a bag, try packing your items together in one checked bag to save space and keep your travels lighter. Keep your clothing organized and maximize space by utilizing packing cubes. You can organize by outfit or clothing type, and they're multipurpose during your trip for wet bathing suits and dirty clothes. Get one set for you, and one for your new spouse!
Plan activities for travel time. Don’t rely on the airplane to have movies for you to watch. Depending on how long your flight is, or if you have multiple flights/trains planned, it’s always best to have some activities to do during travel times. Pack a book, download that TV show on your iPad that you’ve been meaning to catch up on, or bring a deck of cards and teach your spouse a new card game. Another idea is to start a journal to document your travels – you can even write down your initial thoughts after the wedding. It’s a great keepsake that you can always look back on. Store these items in a multipurpose Clarity Clutch, and slip it neatly into your carry-on bag.
You don’t need to go on your honeymoon right after your wedding. Many couples are choosing to take their honeymoon months after their wedding for several reasons. Going on your honeymoon right after the wedding means juggling wedding planning and trip planning at the same time. By delaying your honeymoon, you can focus fully on your wedding and then thoughtfully plan your getaway once things settle down.
You might also consider a "mini-moon" right after the wedding—a short getaway that allows you to enjoy your newlywed bliss without jumping into a big trip just yet.
Plan a well-balanced honeymoon. Your honeymoon is all about relaxing and spending time with your new spouse, so plan out your days accordingly. Map out some activities and sightseeing for some days and sprinkle in some relaxing by the pool and beach for the other ones.
