When deciding where to go, be prepared to compromise \u2013 it is meant to be special for both of you, so choose a destination that caters for two sets of interests.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Brainstorm the type of experience you\u2019d like and explore those which overlap.\u00a0 Before you rush into bookings and payments, spend time in bookshops to get an idea of what\u2019s available and at what cost.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Place the trip in context.\u00a0 Remember, you\u2019ll need a break after the stress of the wedding and probably won\u2019t feel like trekking on the Inca Trail.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you want a seasonal experience like skiing, choose a wedding date with this in mind.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Book flights using your maiden name so your passport matches your tickets.\u00a0 Some airlines will accept a marriage certificate as proof of a name change, but there are no guarantees.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Check whether your credit card gives free travel insurance when you use it to pay for the trip.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you\u2019re strapped for cash, ask your guests to contribute to a travel account instead of buying gifts.\u00a0 Avoid peak season and don\u2019t underestimate the cost of meals, drinks, transport and activities when budgeting.\u00a0 Explore all \u2013inclusive package deals so you know upfront what the trip will cost.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
If you want to be pampered, find out if your hotel has a spa and whether they do couples treatments.\u00a0 Be sure to tell them it\u2019s your honeymoon \u2013 you may get special treatment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Research visas and health matters and take care of these will in advance.\u00a0 Don\u2019t rely solely on the internet for this. It\u2019s best to consult travel agents and specialized books.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Consider the hotels check-in time when booking your flight.\u00a0 Waiting in the lobby until your room becomes available isn\u2019t very romantic.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Arrange for the best man to take care of all the post-wedding admin like returning rented suits.<\/p>\n
