It is really necessary that you know how to plan your honeymoon perfectly and what mistakes you should avoid while planning for it. For all those lovebirds who are planning for their honeymoon and very excited to make it a perfect love escape should keep a few things in mind. Your honeymoon could become so stressful if you don’t do proper planning. Here, we are sharing some honeymoon planning tips for your perfect getaway. Follow these simple tips and enjoy a hassle-free honeymoon.

Plan together: Your honeymoon is not yours only, but it is for your partner too. So, plan a honeymoon with keeping your partner’s preferences and choices in mind. Discuss things with your partner, where he/she wants to go, for how many days you want to plan your honeymoon trip. Do you want to explore a honeymoon destination in India or abroad? So, discuss everything with your partner, then only zero down your choices.

Decide offbeat destination: Rather than exploring the most sought-after destinations or places which most of the couples visit on their honeymoon, consider places which are offbeat. These off-beat honeymoon destinations are less crowded and offer everything you look forward on your honeymoon. Such offbeat honeymoon destinations offer you enough space and places to spend some candid moments with your partner, luxurious stay, and unmatched services at low price. So, planning a honeymoon to some offbeat destination is total win-win situation.

Apply for visa well advance: If you are planning for your honeymoon to some international destination, then it is good to apply for a visa in advance. Try to apply for a visa at least more than a month before. If you have not applied for visa earlier, then all formalities and clearance might take some time. Therefore, applying for visa in advance is always a good option.

Buy your travel tickets one-month advance: If you have zero down your destination, try to book your travel tickets at least a month before. The sooner the better, in case of booking the travel ticket. Booking travel tickets in advance might help you in saving some money as well. If you book your travel tickets just a week before, you are supposed to pay the higher price for the same. However, the ideal time to book a travel ticket is at least three months before your trip.

Compare, check & book: Before you finalize a hotel/stay it is always better that you compare the price, check different facilities and other things after that book your stay. Before booking your stay check how far it is from the airport, bus stop or railway station. Also check, how far is it from monuments, local market, tourist spots and other attractions. Because if you spend most of the time in travelling on your honeymoon then you will not get enough time to spend together. Therefore, check all these things before you book your stay in any hotel, resort or villa for your honeymoon.

Make a checklist: To avoid forgetting anything, make a checklist of things. It will help in minimizing the chances of forgetting something important to carry in your luggage. Always check that you are not missing anything from the list.

Carry first aid kit: This is something very important to carry in your honeymoon luggage. If you are on some special medication or otherwise too carry some basic medicines in your luggage like nausea, fever, headache, allergy, cold, body pain, etc. In case of any medical issue, you are not required to run from places to places to find a medical store to buy medicines.

Plan activities: This is something which most of us don’t plan in advance and just do things randomly. Plan your activities in advance according to your total number of days you are going to stay there. If you are going for 5-6 days, then plan your activities accordingly and plan fewer activities on your first and last day of honeymoon to save your energies.  

Pack lighter baggage: Most of us end up filling our luggage with too many clothes and other things and later on find it difficult to carry things. Therefore, it is always good to pack minimum things on your honeymoon travel. Try to avoid packing unnecessary accessories, scarfs, jewelry and foot wears. Even don’t carry too many clothes in your honeymoon luggage.

Plan surprise: To add some spark in your honeymoon plan some surprises. You can plan a romantic candlelight dinner with your wife or you can plan something else which you think she would love. So, don’t forget to add the zing of surprise in your honeymoon.

Pankaj is highly educated & working with an MNC in Pune. He is true foodie and his day starts with food and ends with food. He is smart, intelligent, good looking and still single. His whole family is worried about his marriage and they want him to settle down now as he is 30+ years old and for them too old for marriage. For them, it is tough to find a suitable match for him as in their community because of his age. He belongs to Jain community and for them 30+ years is the age where you don’t find a match within community easily. He is not much worried about marriage because he knew what he wants in life and his kind of partner and he is no mood to settle down with anyone rather preferred to wait for the right partner. Without telling his family, he registered with lovevivah.com, a matrimonial site.

Sonam is from a business family, beautiful, mature and introvert. For her, the world revolves around her books and music. She is a true book worm, who buys a new book every another day and try to eat it out within a day. Whereas, Pankaj is one who never likes to read even magazine, for him reading books is wastage of time and his whole world is about his gadgets and food. Sonam’s parents created her matrimonial profile with lovevivah.com to search an eligible life partner for her. They came across the profile of Pankaj, who was also registered with lovevivah.com. They sent an interest and waited for his response, as his profile appeared quite decent and he was meeting their expectations of perfect partner for their daughter. Pankaj accepted their interest and had small conversation with Sonam’s father. They asked him to share his father’s number with them, so that they can take this conversation to next level. He shared the number with hesitation because his family was not aware of that he had registered with any matrimonial website. He instructed them not to share this information, but tell their parents that their family friend told them about the proposal.

Next morning, her father called Pankaj’s father, as the phone rang Pankaj got nervous as he was not sure whether her father will handle the situation well or tell his parents that they found the number from matrimonial site.  His parents were not in favor of finding the life partner through matrimonial site as they believe that most of the profiles are fake. But, her father handled everything well and he took a sigh of relief. Pankaj’s father fixed the meeting for the coming Sunday and assured them to visit their home.

He was really excited because he liked the profile of Sonam and found her just perfect. A beautiful, simple, intelligent and homely girl, quite different from him and his extrovert nature. On Sunday morning everyone was quite excited because they were going to meet the would-be bride of Pankaj. They started for Sonam’s place around 11.A.M in the morning and it took around 1 hour to reach her place. All the way he was busy in thinking about her.

They knocked the door, Sonam’s younger brother opened the door and welcomed them. They served them snacks and juices like typical Indian marriage set up. Pankaj had many times gone through this, but this time he was feeling butterflies in his stomach and a kind of sensation, which he never experienced earlier. They called Sonam in the room. They introduced her with Pankaj and his family and asked them to spend some time together as typical parents to know each-other. Pankaj was excited because he very much liked her profile and she was no doubt looking more beautiful than her profile picture. For the first five minutes there was pin-drop silence. Then Pankaj, break the silence by asking her some common questions and then the conversation started. From the fumble of words to long healthy conversation within an hour, he feels some connection with her. Their parents asked for their decision, Pankaj said YES, but Sonam as her nature asked for some time to think over the same. One week passed no reply from their end. Pankaj got anxious and nervous. He asked her mother to make a call, she said we were the one who called them for everything, so if they are interested they will themselves make a call to tell their decision. Pankaj dropped a message at Sonam’s Lovevivah matrimonial profile with expectation of a reply. This time, it was Sonam who as online not her father. He asked about her decision, she replied that she was still not very sure and wants to meet him alone once again. He said it is fine with him just let him know the place and time, so that they can meet once again. She asked him to come to a nearby restaurant, but without telling this to their parents.

On Sunday, they met in a restaurant, where they talked more than two hours and shared a lot of things about their interest, hobbies, liking and what are their expectations from each-other as life partner. Sonam, this time found Pankaj very honest and down-to-earth guy, who is very focused and sure about what he wants in life. Whereas Pankaj found Sonam, exactly what he thought about her, simple and very caring. This time, Sonam had no confusion regarding her future and about Pankaj, found him perfect. Pankaj dropped her near her home and before leaving asked what she thought about him and their relationship. She said, you will get a call from Papa. Now, he knew the answer and was happy about his decision of meeting her once again.

The moment he reached home, her mother told him that they got a call from Sonam’s parents. They mutually fixed a date for marriage. Now, Sonam and Pankaj are happily married and Pankaj thanked Lovevivah for making his search journey easy. He was sure that he will meet the girl he was looking for and Lovevivah realized his dream of meeting the perfect partner without any barrier of age, religion, education and family background.
