TRAVEL TIPS FOR HONEYMOON TRAVELLERS

It is the best time for a couple, when they get to know each other and from the bond of a lifetime. Here’s how you can make your honeymoon a memorable one.

TIME IT WELL

Preferably, avoid putting off your honeymoon for later. The period after marriage is usually the best.

PLAN IN ADVANCE

That way, you can take into account each other’s desires and decide on a location accordingly. Whether it is sandy expanses, snow-clad hills or beaches.

GOING SOLO

While it is fun to be on your own and explore a city and discover each other, going as part of a group can be a great experience too, especially it it’s a bunch of recently married friends.

THINGS TO REMRMBER

• In all the hustle-bustle of the wedding, don’t forget to make a proper packing list so that you travel in peace.

• If you’re the romantic sort, carry along music that you both like.

• Despite all the planning, things can go wrong. Take it in your stride. Something unplanned can be memorable too.

• Ideally, use the services of a travel agent. That gives you enough breathing space to focus on just the essentials.

• You might be on a budget honeymoon, but carry a little more money than needed. Add, ideally choose all-inclusive accommodation – food, transportation, activities, etc.

WEDDING PLANS

Here we are giving a wedding guide to plan a perfect wedding. This ceremony marked by joyous celebration needs a lot of planning to make it a perfect occasion.

• Set date for wedding

• Plan wedding budget (Since the money matters the most, prepare a rough estimate of all likely expenses way before, and stick to the plan while spending. The estimate of your spending should rather be less than the actual sum you have in hand. This will be of great help in accommodating the unexpected expenses.)

• Prepare guest List (Prepare a list of the guests to be invited as early as possible. If you shelve this task for later, some of the names may slip your mind and you'll always feel sheepish while facing them.)

• Choose venue for wedding and make reservations.

• Appoint Priest/ Purohit /clergy member for performing ceremonial rites.

• Choose caterer and select the menu for the wedding ceremony.

• Design and select invitation cards

• Select photographer and videographer and discuss plans

• Select tent house/decorator

• Select band/musicians

• Select wedding dress/trousseau dresses for the bride /groom and place order (The prime area of attention for the bride is her trousseau. It has to be compiled tastefully with utmost care)

• Make transportation reservations for guests.

• Arrange facilities like water, generators, lighting, seatings for wedding ceremony/reception

• Apply for marriage license

• Order wedding reception cake

• Make beauty parlor appointments.

• Make bookings for mehandi.

• Select the type of music needed for reception/cocktails

• Order mithai and related items.

Listed here are a number of things to do once the marriage has been finalized. Some need to be taken care of immediately while other tasks can wait till the wedding date draws closer. In either case, having a list of things to do makes it easier to ascertain that nothing is left out or forgotten. Saves a lot of last minute hassles!
