Consider the Type of Honeymoon You Want
There are so many different places you could go on a honeymoon, and narrowing it down can be the most difficult part. One way to help you sort through your options is to decide what kind of honeymoon you want. Do you and your new spouse love adventure? Are you looking for a fun vacation that speaks to your inner child? Do you want a trip that will provide you with everything you need to relax?
These are important questions to consider, and it’s a good idea to sit down with your partner and talk about what kind of trip you want to take. Keep in mind, you don’t have to be limited to one type of honeymoon. For example, if you’re looking for a relaxing honeymoon with a little adventure sprinkled in, you can always ask your travel agent to book you a vacation where you’ll have plenty of options for excursions you can take during your trip!
Familiar or New Destination?
Once you decide what type of honeymoon you want to take, the next step is to consider whether you’re looking to go somewhere new on your honeymoon or if you want to go somewhere you’ve been before and would love to visit again. There’s nothing wrong with choosing either option! You and your new spouse may have a desire to explore any new place you can, or you may have a destination that has a lot of significance to your relationship. Whatever the case may be, choosing between familiar or new can help narrow down your choices even further.
Set a Budget
Money is something that most people would rather not think about. However, in order to go on a honeymoon, you’ll need to set a budget of what you can and can’t afford. When creating your budget, consider breaking the budget into different categories — as long as it doesn’t give you wedding planning flashbacks, that is.
Consider how much you want to spend on flights and hotels, and then be sure to set aside some of your budget for souvenirs, optional activities and excursions, and any other expenses you can foresee.
The great thing about using a travel agent to help you plan your trip is that it doesn’t cost anything extra, meaning you won’t have to factor the cost of your travel agent into your budget. Travel agents are paid by the vendor, so they do all the work planning your trip, and they get paid by the places you book — it’s a win-win! With that in mind, be sure to reach out to JP Travel for all your honeymoon booking needs!
Think About Amenities
Amenities are a huge thing to consider when planning your honeymoon. That being said, when most people think about amenities, they may consider food, beverages, and possibly all-inclusive perks. However, the term amenities encompass a wide variety of offerings from your trip, such as pools, room service, WiFi, free parking, and more. While most hotels have the basics of WiFi and parking, offerings such as a pool, all-inclusive perks, and possibly even an onsite spa or fitness center are not always guaranteed. If there are certain amenities you really want on your honeymoon, make sure to take note of those and let your travel agent know!
