How To Make Your Honeymoon Extra Special

Your honeymoon is likely the most important and enjoyable vacation you’ll ever take. As the start of your life with your spouse, a honeymoon is a chance to build memories, see new places, and have fun together.

Although honeymoons are special by their very nature, there are also ways to improve them with small extra touches. Here are some of the best ways to make your honeymoon extra special for you and your new spouse.

Pick a Shared Dream Destination

If there’s a place you’ve both always wanted to visit, your honeymoon is a perfect opportunity to cross it off of your travel list. Whether it’s touring Rome, visiting a Caribbean island, or backpacking through the UK, a honeymoon is a perfect time to make your travel dreams come true. You can even find specific honeymoon packages for many destinations, making it easy to create an ideal honeymoon experience.

Work in Some Surprises

Although the majority of your honeymoon planning will be a joint effort, it’s still fun to throw in a few extra surprises for your new spouse. A surprise dinner or an afternoon activity will help to keep your trip fresh and fun without interfering with your larger itinerary. Be sure to avoid all-day activities, though, since these could throw your schedule off for the rest of the trip.

Go Off the Beaten Path

Online travel guides and pre-planned honeymoon packages are great for getting the broad strokes of your trip taken care of, but it’s also a good idea to leave some time for exploring. Talk to locals and check out places that tourists rarely visit. Even if it’s just a meal in a restaurant that’s frequented by locals at your destination, going off the beaten path is a great way to make your honeymoon fun and unique.

Rent a Car

Renting a car for your honeymoon will ensure that you can always go where you please on your own schedule. Even if you’re looking at honeymoon packages that have bus or train tickets included, a car will make traveling more convenient. By renting a car, you can create the opportunity for more spontaneity and freedom in your trip. You’ll also have more options for filling the time in between scheduled activities.

Plan Activities Together

Even if you or your spouse is primarily in charge of the honeymoon, some of the planning should be a joint effort. Try to find activities you’ll both enjoy or sights you’re both interested in seeing. By planning together, you’ll be able to ensure that you both have a great time and get to enjoy the trip to the fullest. You can also consider picking out one or two activities that are especially interesting to you.

Try Out Something Completely New

Your honeymoon is also an excellent opportunity to try out new things. From exotic foods to activities neither of you has ever tried before, adding new experiences to your honeymoon is a good way to make it more memorable. Try to find things that are new to both of you so that you can experience them for the first time together. Memories made like this will last a lifetime and remind you of your honeymoon every time you think of them.

Use a Professional Travel Agent

While you certainly can plan your own honeymoon, hiring a travel agent can be much more convenient. A professional agent will create a comprehensive itinerary that meets your needs and wants. An agent can even help you find an all-inclusive honeymoon package for your chosen destination so that you can book everything you need in one place.

Compare Your Options

While some couples have a single dream honeymoon destination, many aren’t sure where to go at first. If you’re in the latter category, be sure to compare the honeymoon packages, activities, and sights available for different destinations. Often, you’ll find that one destination has a small advantage that pushes it to the top of your list.

Above All, Stick to Your Budget

Honeymoons are no bargain, but they also don’t have to break the bank. No matter what your budget, you can find small ways to make your honeymoon extra special. Don’t feel like you have to spend more in order to have a great honeymoon. Know what you are able and willing to spend and stick to that budget as much as possible. Doing this will be a good exercise in managing finances together and a way to make sure you don’t start your married life with a burdensome expense. 

Of course, every honeymoon is unique. Not all of these tips will apply to every couple’s honeymoon. Applying these suggestions to your individual trip, though, will help you create a truly unique and memorable honeymoon and get your married life started on the right foot.
