Do’s of Honeymoon Packing

1. Carry photocopies of important documents

Losing your important documents can be the worst thing to happen during your honeymoon. Hence, do carry at least two photocopies of your passports, IDs and credit cards.

6. Take along a DSLR camera or a good camera phone

To lock the most special and cosy moments of your honeymoon in good quality pictures, it is imperative to carry a DSLR camera. However, if your budget doesn’t allow, a good camera phone would do too.

Don’ts of Honeymoon Packing

1. Don’t keep packing for the last moment

Start packing for your honeymoon at least a week before, even if it means taking out some time from your wedding preparations. Last minute packing is a big blunder that is messy and you might even skip out on carrying some essentials.

2. Don’t overpack

Every woman is guilty of this! But try to travel light for your honeymoon. Avoid taking along 15 set of clothes and 5 pairs of shoes if you are going only for 5-6 days. It will keep a lot of hassle at bay.

3. Don’t forget to cross check the expiry dates of your passport

To avoid last-minute panic, do not miss out on checking the expiry dates of your passports.

4. Don’t rely on new shoes

It is suggested to not pack new shoes for they are most likely to cause blisters and foot bites.

5. Don’t take full-fledged makeup products

Keep only the bare minimum makeup products in your suitcase and ditch the entire makeup vanity that you own.

6. Don’t forget to take along Ziplocs and laundry bags

Thank god for the existence of Ziplocs and laundry bags! They make travelling so easy. Whether you want to carry toiletries without getting them spilled or load the dirty laundry, they are some unmissable essentials and travel rescuers.

7. Don’t take along books and interfering gadgets

Spend all the possible time lunging in each other’s arms and making cherishable memories. Leave no room for books or any other interfering gadgets like iPad, kindle, etc.

8. Don’t carry valuables and prized possessions

Fretting about your expensive jewels and high-end gadgets is the last thing you wanna do on your honeymoon. So, refrain from carrying valuable items to your romantic vacay with your partner.

9. Don't forget the contraception

We know it is pretty obvious to carry condoms, but this honeymoon packing blog would have been incomplete without its mention.
