Honeymoons are oftentimes once-in-a-lifetime trips. So do a little research and make sure that the place you pick is a good fit for both of you.

From Quick Guide: After The Wedding Guide
Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Travel Agent
  • Internet
  • Guidebooks
  • List of activities/sites you'd like to see
  1. Step 1

    Talk to your fiance about your honeymoon and what kind of weather, activities and amenities you would both like.

  2. Step 2

    Discuss what the ideal spot would be for you two individually to see if you can come up with a location you'll both enjoy. For instance, many people want to sit on a white sand beach on their honeymoons, so start with a phrase like, "I was picturing something tropical" and go from there.

  3. Step 3

    Google the various locations and options available to you based on your needs and budget. If you're not on the same page - say, one wants to see the cathedrals of Europe and another wants an all-inclusive cruise - you can Google a few of the key terms you're both looking for to settle on something like a Mexican cruise that stops at hotspots like the Mayan ruins.

  4. Step 4

    Check Web sites like theknot.com to view some of the most popular places for honeymooning.

  5. Step 5

    Visit a travel agent and discuss some of the ideas and places you've agreed that you'd like to talk about.

  6. Step 6

    Mention that it's your honeymoon to see if the agent can get you any free upgrades or if any honeymoon/sweetheart packages are available.

Tips & Warnings
  • All-inclusive vacations have become quite popular lately, resorts such as Sandals or most of the large cruise lines offer many room packages that allow you to pay upfront for your trip, that way you can enjoy all the amenities, including workout facilities, dining and drinks and outdoor activities, for free while you're there. This can be a nice benefit for a couple who may be cash strapped after their wedding
  • Depending on your level of adventure and sense of what you think a honeymoon should be, most people will recommend that you not pick a high-risk location or activities that will be especially treacherous for your honeymoon. Some even go as far as to say that this isn't the time to visit third-world countries, a country with a culture or language that you don't understand or an area prone to natural disasters
