While the only thing on your mind while planning your wedding is the actual wedding, it's important to consider some post-wedding activities; specifically, your honeymoon. Your honeymoon is that much needed time after the wedding when you can relax, unwind and spend some alone time with your new spouse. While your mind may be full of floral arrangements, cakes versus cupcakes, and the perfect wedding songs, remember your honeymoon and your first vacation as a married couple is very special, so spend some time looking forward during your wedding planning. Read on for some tips on choosing your perfect honeymoon destination.
After you've set a budget for your honeymoon, sit down with your fiancée and discuss the type of place you'd like to go. Are you looking for an adventure or would you rather lie on the beach and soak up some rays? Do you fly by the seat of your pants or do you want every little detail planned out? It's especially important to decide if you will be going out of the country, as it can take a while to get your passport (and visa if necessary).
Mexico
As one of the world's top honeymoon destinations, Mexico is known for having top resorts that fit any couple's interests, from activities to sightseeing, from nightlife to a quiet day on the beach. Mexico provides an array of opportunities for newlyweds, including great fishing, surfing, sunsets, and more! Popular honeymoon hideaways in Mexico include Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Acapulco, Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and Cozumel.
Europe
Newlyweds who desire a trip to Europe will be entertained by endless possibilities for cultural adventure. From castles to cottages, snow-capped mountains to beaches, the Eiffel Tower to the London Bridge, a European honeymoon is full of personality. Stroll the streets of Paris, ride a gondola through the canals of Venice, or relax on the beaches of Spain - the opportunities are endless with a European honeymoon.
USA
For honeymooners who'd rather stay stateside, the USA offers endless cities, small towns, mountains, beaches, and ranches perfect for honeymoons. Popular honeymoon locations include Alaska, Lake Tahoe, Miami, New York City, New Orleans, Aspen, Niagara Falls, Disneyland or Walt Disney World, and San Francisco. Whether you and your fiancé yearn for 24/7 excitement in a city like Las Vegas, or desire a quiet spot on the beaches of Key West, you won't have trouble finding your perfect honeymoon destination in the United States.
Hawaii
Although a part of the United States, Hawaii is in a category all of its own. With hundreds of islands within the state featuring epically beautiful views, surfing, swimming, hiking, volcano tours, and hula lessons, Hawaii is a dream honeymoon spot with unlimited possibilities. The six main islands most frequently visited by honeymooners are Hawaii's Big Island, Kauai, Lana'I, Maui, Molokai, and Oahu.
Caribbean
Speaking of islands, the Caribbean has more than 7,000 islands, islets, reefs and cays to explore while on your honeymoon. While each location includes the iconic sandy white beaches and clear turquoise waters, the Caribbean is known for the variations in culture, landscape, and activities! You will never be bored, from historic plantation houses and active volcanoes, to breathtaking hikes and sunset sails, each island offers something special! Choose a bustling port town for shopping and nightlife, or hideaway on a less inhabited island for a more intimate retreat. Some of the most popular island getaways in the Caribbean include the Bahamas, Aruba, Jamaica, the Dominican Republic, Barbados, and St. Bart's, St. Croix, and St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.
A good honeymoon can take up to six months to plan, so don't put off planning to the last minute (especially if you need a passport). Book your tickets, make your reservations, and plan the perfect honeymoon now!
