After the wedding is over; you are exhausted, and I am sure you are looking forward to your honeymoon! Don’t let the excitement get in the way of remembering key items that you will need or tasks you will need to do before you leave.

Passport

Don’t forget your passport. If you do not have one make sure you give yourself at least 2 months to get one. You will need to go to a local store that will take a passport picture such as Costco, Kinkos, Police Stations, or the post office. Once you get those you will need to fill out and send in all the paperwork at a local police station or post office. The amount of time it takes for your paperwork to process can take a long time so make sure to give the whole process about 2 months to be on the safe side!

Clothing

Make sure to pack all of the essentials, but also check the weather conditions for the place you are traveling to and bring some extras in case you need to adjust for the conditions. Also, bring clothes for the various activities you might do like hiking or sightseeing. Try not to wait until the last minute to pack because you might forget something that is very important! Make sure all of you travel documents, license, travelers’ checks or money before you leave.

Preparing Your House or Animals

Make sure before you leave for your honeymoon that everything is taken care for any animals, children, or any valuables. Also have everything in order if someone is watching your house. Make sure everything is worked out for someone to watch your pet, unless you are using a kennel, and that everything is arranged for a babysitter if you have children. Make sure to set any alarms on your house or vehicle or any other property! It is always good to inform your neighbors and relatives of your travel plans in case someone is snooping around the house while you are gone. The last thing you want to do is come back from a relaxing weekend to a stressful mess!

Making a Check List

These are just a few of the main things you need to think of when you are about to go on your honeymoon, but it is always good to make a check list as well! Also make sure to double check all of your flight and hotel reservations. It is always best to book some activities before especially if they cost money because there could be an early bird discount or the activities could be booked! It may all sound like a lot to do before you go away but double checking yourself and making sure everything is taken care of is well worth the stress before your honeymoon instead of having to deal with it afterward!

But most importantly, remember to enjoy your Honeymoon as it only comes once!
