Wedding Travel Gifts
Give the happy couple a thoroughly enjoyable present to enhance their honeymoon experience. Since the couple will probably receive a lot of gifts for their new home, a gift that they can use on their honeymoon is thoughtful and practical. Suitable travel gifts to accompany the couple on their honeymoon are small items easily packable in luggage or gifts in the form of vouchers for hotels, airlines or restaurants.

Travel Check Wedding Gifts
-
Many couples in 2011 are getting married on a tight budget with little or no financial help from family for paying for the wedding; they need little in the way of household supplies and would prefer a gift of cash. Travel vouchers and traveler's checks are a discreet way of giving cash to help the bride and groom pay for their honeymoon extras such as a special dinner or room upgrade at their hotel. As of 2011, checks are available in amounts starting from $25.00 from major credit card companies, some of whom offer specially designed wedding-themed cards or attractively gift-packaged golden gift travel cards.
Digital Cameras
-
Small digital cameras to take honeymoon snapshots for the couple's first scrapbook are original wedding gifts. Suitable models include cameras that are small enough to slip into a purse or pocket. Types range from inexpensive and disposable models to compact point and shoot styles costing $100.00 or more as of 2011. Waterproof compact cameras cost a little more, but offer the couple a chance to fire off some memorable shots amongst the waves and around the pool. Remember to include in this travel gift a charger for the camera battery, a spare battery and memory cards for a complete way to record their whole trip.

Beach Kits
-
If you know the couple intends to spend time relaxing on a beach during their honeymoon, buy them a small beach kit with all the requirements for a safe day at the ocean or pool. The kit should include items such as sunscreen, fruit flavored moisturizing lip balm, sunglasses for both the bride and groom and sun block. As space permits, add folding sunhats and a pair of small, colorful towels, or even jazzy flip-flops. Present your choice of contents in a small waterproof tote. For couples honeymooning near home, add a gift subscription for their favorite magazines to read while tanning.
Travel Guide Books
-
Travel guidebooks for the honeymoon location are thoughtful wedding gifts that offer the couple up-to-date information about their destination. Choose the style of book to suit your couple's tastes. Backpackers will benefit more from a barebones-style guide than a gourmet restaurant publication. Some guides offer detailed cultural and country information, while others concentrate on the nightlife and restaurants.
