Honeymoons are too often seen as secondary to the planning of the wedding itself, when, in terms of memories, they are just as significant as your day in church. Your honeymoon is an occasion which you’ll remember for the rest of your life, so think carefully about honeymoon locations and honeymoon ideas.

First decide what your objectives are for the time you’ll be away and what you can and can’t live without. What parts of the world interest you? What do you want to do? What is most important to you? Beautiful weather, sightseeing, adventure, cost, etc. Talk over honeymoon ideas with your spouse to be, talk about locations, research on the internet and ask your friends and family for opinions.

Visits to exclusive resorts or islands are traditionally popular, and for good reason. Such trips mean that you can spend quality time together whilst relaxing from the hectic schedule of the previous six months and taking in stunning surroundings.

Another option is to take a cruise; they offer the same quiet, relaxing time whilst also making it possible to visit a host of different locations. Should you have a preference for a more active honeymoon, give consideration to an adventure travel trip or a mountain resort.

Regarding honeymoon locations, these are some of the most popular: Argentina, Bali, Bermuda, Caribbean, Fiji, France, French Polynesia, Madagascar, Mauritius, New Zealand, Spain, Thailand.

Whichever type of location and honeymoon you choose, try to make reservations a minimum of six months in advance to ensure that you’ll have the pick of the rooms, and can begin planning for your time away. See if there is a special honeymoon package available to enhance your time away; romantic extras such as the honeymoon suite, iced champagne and bouquets of flowers will make your time away more memorable still.

As soon as your hotel is arranged, starting researching and booking tours, tickets, restaurant seats, and any other activities that require advance reservations, especially should you be traveling in the summer months (bear in mind that different locations will have different peak seasons). Try not to over-plan though as plenty of free time should be left available, in the first few days especially, in which you can just enjoy each others company without any other distractions.

Your overall objective should be to make your honeymoon different to an ordinary vacation. In addition to standard vacation items, consider packing some fun extras, such as candles, lingerie and romantic music.
