You've planned for the wedding and the honeymoon and the last thing that you want to do is pack for your amazing honeymoon vacation. Different destinations call for a different set of things that you will want to pack. Today's blog post will feature 4 tips when it comes to packing along with 4 packing lists for all honeymoon destinations!
Pack Before Your Wedding
If you are planning on leaving for your honeymoon within a day or so of your wedding, you will want to have your bags packed and ready before your wedding even happens. This will allow you to really enjoy your reception and get some sleep before your flight without worrying about getting that last minute packing in. This is also true of any trip, packing in advance will help relieve some of that stress.
Pack Light
You won't want to have to deal with tons of luggage so try to pack as light as possible. Depending on your destination or travel activities, having a carry on and checked bag may just be too much to lug along. Fitting all of your items into a carry on bag will not only lighten your load but will also make sure your bags aren't lost so you can start your honeymoon off right!
Consider Wrinkle Free Clothes
The last thing anyone wants to do on your honeymoon is spend time ironing your clothes. Pack clothes that travel well without getting wrinkled. Also, when packing clothes make sure you roll them instead of fold them. This will not only help them stay wrinkle free but will also allow you to pack more items in the same amount of space. It's a win, win!
Forget Your Devices
Now, I'm not saying to leave your phone and laptop at home, but unplugging as much as possible while on your honeymoon will really help you relax and enjoy your time as newlyweds.
