Congratulations! You’ve said yes and your wedding plans are well underway. With so much to take care of, your honeymoon might be something you’ve put on the back burner–if you’ve thought about it at all! Here’s five tips to make sure your first trip as a married couple is as fun and stress-free as possible.

1.) Start planning early

Don’t leave your honeymoon arrangements to the last minute. Booking your reservations ahead of time (6-9 months in advance is ideal) will help keep the cost down and make sure you snap up one of those romantic swim-up suits before they’re gone.

2.) Talk it over

If either you or your partner handles all the honeymoon arrangements, the other runs the risk of feeling disappointed. Make sure you’re on the same page regarding destinations, activities, and experience.

3.) Know your budget-and work with it

“You get what you pay for” is as true in travel as it is anywhere else, but that doesn’t mean your honeymoon needs to be a cheap affair. If a seven-night luxury getaway is not feasible, consider a shorter trip right after the wedding and start planning for an all-out celebration on your first anniversary. Or invite your friends and family to chip in with a honeymoon registry.

4.) Make it your own

Sure, your friend was raving about that all-inclusive in Cancun, but is lounging on the beach really your style? Maybe you and your partner would be happier riding into the sunset on a dude ranch, or giving back with a voluntourism trip. Create a honeymoon that’s as special and unique as your love for each other.

5.) Talk with a travel advisor

There’s a lot to consider for your honeymoon, but the best news is you don’t have to do it alone. Working with a travel professional will give you access to expert advice, personal service, and a relaxing, romantic honeymoon.
