5 Tips For Planning The Honeymoon of a Lifetime

Start planning early

The best timeframe for booking your honeymoon is six to eight months prior to your travel date and if you're considering somewhere far-flung and remote, you may consider starting up to a year in advance.

Get clear about what you want

When you think about your honeymoon what do you envision? Is it a luxury resort on a beautiful island, or do you want to explore a bunch of places? Do some thinking together about what you both really want.

Come up with your own custom itinerary

It's tempting to copy another couple's honeymoon itinerary, but your friends may have loved the adventures they had in Peru, maybe you'd just to like to be laying on a tropical beach.. It's your honeymoon and it should be tailored to your interests.

Don't believe everything you read online

Kicking off your honeymoon research with a Google search is a great place to start but don't let it be the only thing you rely on. Online reviews can paint a picture that isn't accurate. Vet the destinations you have in mind with friends, family, and a travel professional.

Schedule in surprises

Even if you're working side-by-side to plan your honeymoon together, try to sneak in a surprise or two! Dinner on the beach at sunset or an unplanned couples massage is a great way to make it romantic, but also memorable.
