Top 5 Tips For Creating A Memorable Honeymoon

I often felt these couples looked happier because they have travel goals listed. They discuss them and work towards it. So, I suggest each couple should make their travel goals or as we call ‘bucket list. Also, this does not mean a couple who do not have travel goals are not happy, would rather say they live a normal couples’ life. I am sure you agree that we all set goals in our life. To be honest, goals for everything. This could mean buying a home, car, watch, staying fit, or anything that makes us happier. This also includes a travel goal as couples to the destination of their choice or a boutique hotel on an island.

As founder of Honeymoon Havens, I dedicated my 8 years to helping couple experience their dream honeymoon. My goal always has been to let couples express their emotions through travel. So, in this blog let me tell you why it is important to have a Couple travel goals for a happy relationship.

1. Start planning your trip early

The most couple asks us, how soon should we plan our Honeymoon? We often say the, earlier the better. The ideal timeframe is six to eight months prior to your travel dates, especially if you're thinking about international honeymoon destinations. For domestic honeymoon trips, we recommend 2 - 3 months of advance planning.

The reason we say this is because it doesn't let you compromise on your dream honeymoon. You are able to freely think about the options available for you. We often say the excitement of planning a honeymoon trip is more beautiful for the couple, as planning a wedding can be stressful. So, start planning your trips early.

2. Discuss together

We met thousands of couples, who often come to us while they hustling to put the wedding arrangements in place. Often, they divide the work and take up responsibilities for wedding planning. While dividing and executing can work for wedding planning, it's not always the best approach when it comes to planning your honeymoon. If one person handles all of the planning of your honeymoon, you might end up with a trip that's more tailored to their desires. We believe honeymoon planning should be a joint effort.

Thus, to all our meetings with couples, we recommend talking to both individuals as little things matter. This enables us to curate intimate trips for the couple.

3. Be authentic, don't plan another couple's honeymoon

Wedding planning can be so involved that it's tempting to copy another couple's honeymoon itinerary. But while your friends may have loved that no-stress, all-inclusive resort, you might find it tamps your adventurous spirit. Or, maybe you've heard your parents reminisce about their honeymoon in Maldives your whole life... but that doesn't mean it's right for the two of you. It's fine to solicit advice from friends and family, but take it with that proverbial grain of salt. This is your honeymoon, after all, and it should be tailored to your interests.

4. Be clear about what you both want

When you think about exotic destinations, does that mean a luxury resort on an island renowned for its natural beauty? Or are you thinking about some faraway foreign country where you don't speak the language? Daydream with your partner to figure out what you both really want.

This is very important as sometimes couples get confused. They feel they want everything around the world. Being realistic helps curate finer experiences that ensure both experience bliss.

5. Don't rely fully on online research

The most couple does not know where to start their honeymoon planning process. Thus, taking them to the online search engine. Starting your honeymoon planning with a Google search is perfectly fine, but don't rely only on search engines. Online reviews can paint a picture that doesn't match reality and it's best to thoroughly vet your ideal destination by talking to friends and family who have been there—and/or a travel professional, too.
