Honeymoon Trip Tips
Begin early and share the planning. To ensure that you both enjoy the honeymoon, make all the decisions together.
Make time for yourselves. Pad your schedule with generous amounts of free time, for a rushed and overly organized blissful event might feel too much like your wedding. Instead, plan a few enjoyable activities and leave lots of opportunities to just enjoy each other's company.
Set a tentative budget. Talk about your expectations and priorities from the very beginning and decide what you might splurge on and where you might cut corners.
Splurge on whatever accommodations you choose. No matter what type of vacation package you choose, you will spend an enormous amount of time in your room or cabin. Make it special - make it unforgettable.
Use your maiden name. Unless you're taking a delayed trip, you won't have time to change the name on your passport and driver's license. Use your maiden name on visas, airline tickets, etc., so they match as it appears on your official documents.
Tell the world. stand up on every chair, on every rock and shout, "We're on our honeymoon!" Everyone from strangers to airlines to hotels will take notice and cheerfully offer you such special treatment such as complimentary champagne in-flight or a gift basket in your room.
