After the big question is popped and wedding planning begins – the questions don’t stop. What kind of dress should you get? Where should the venue be? How many guests should you have?
So many of those questions are about the big day, but what about after?
For many couples, the honeymoon is often one of the most exciting parts of the celebration to plan.
So, how exactly do you pick the *perfect* post-wedding paradise to kick off your journey as husband and wife? Here are a few tips to help you do just that:
Focus on the Budget
Thinking about how much it costs might seem like a buzzkill, but just like with the wedding, understanding how much you’re willing to pay can help you set realistic expectations.
Believe it or not, many destinations aren’t as expensive as you might think, but it’s important to connect with your partner to find a spot that fits both of your tastes.
Bali and Thailand can be relatively affordable, but more exotic locations like Fiji, Bora Bora, or even the Maldives can add up.
Figure Out Your Ideal Experience
This is key for a harmonious start to your post-nuptial life.
Ideally, you both will have already taken vacations together and understand what you both enjoy.
Are you more resort types, where the beach and water activities are the main focus?
Or do you want a honeymoon where you’re hiking and creating new experiences together?
Some couples may prefer more of a mix, or even exploratory experiences where you dive deep into a country’s history and customs.
Based on what you agree on here, research destinations that meet both of your needs.
Determine When to Go
One of the most important factors for pinpointing your dreamy honeymoon destination is when you’ll actually go.
Many destinations have peak times or best seasons to visit. For example, if you’ve always wanted to jet-set to Japan and see the cherry blossoms, your best bet is between March and April.
Consider this: your honeymoon doesn’t always have to be immediately after the wedding.
Getting married in spring, but love the Mediterranean? Wait a few months until the fall to experience the best weather.
It’s also a great idea to consider your climate preferences. Some destinations are incredibly hot or cold during their peak months, so be aware of this when planning.
Scout Out Honeymoon Deals
Many destinations have honeymoon deals that can help elevate the romantic experience, often at a better price. Whether it’s massages, candlelit dinners on the beach, or room upgrades, this is an area where those special little touches can make your experience especially memorable.
Your wedding planner can give you tips on where to find the best honeymoon deals.
