11 Simple Ways to Make Your Honeymoon More Memorable & Romantic

Posted by Shira Winget on April 4th, 2018

You want your honeymoon to be as memorable as possible. Since it’s not just an ordinary vacation, it should also have an extra layer of romance written all over it. But try too hard and you might fail – not to mention how most of us can’t afford to spend a fortune on our honeymoon, especially right after we’ve thrown a big wedding.

Luckily, you can make memories and have romance without breaking the budget. Here are incredibly simple ways to make your honeymoon unforgettable and full of love.

Always pick the location and activities together

Sure, it’s fine to sneak in a secret dinner reservation but the big picture should be thought about together. You want to pick a location that excites both of you. Plan your activities so that you both get to experience something unique and enjoyable. If you can’t communicate things at this point, you probably shouldn’t be heading out on a honeymoon.

Make a budget beforehand

Don’t start talking about finances on your honeymoon. Create a clear budget and prepare the amount for your trip. If you agree on these things before the trip, you won’t have to argue about it on the trip. Bringing up the question of money right before dinner can be a total mood killer, so handle the issue before.

Remove the distraction

In the age of the smartphone, it’s difficult to be present in the moment. But you want to, especially on a honeymoon. Remove the distractions by leaving the smartphone in the hotel room. If you’re addicted to social media, try uninstalling the apps for the holiday. Instagram can wait!

Don’t make a detailed list

While you want to plan some activities, your honeymoon shouldn’t be about ticking off a ton of things on a list. You might start feeling tired, stressed and annoyed having to do everything with little time left. Leave room for spontaneity and just walking around your destination.

Do something new and different

Pick one activity neither of you has done and perhaps have wanted to do. It has to be something different and new – this could be diving into the sea or eating scallops. Doing something unique together will be extremely fun and it’ll help create a stronger bond between the two of you.

Pack your bags in secret

Add a bit more excitement to the journey by packing in secret. Add some new items – you can find up to 70% off special deals at Wild Secrets and have lingerie your hubby has never seen. It doesn’t all have to be about the sexy underwear either. Just wearing a new dress or shirt will add a small but pleasant surprise to the trip.

Get a good camera

If there’s something else you might want to invest in before the honeymoon, it’s a good camera. You want to be present in the moment but also capture those moments to reminiscence about later. Don’t be afraid to be that annoying tourist who just snaps photos – you’ll love them in the future.

Blend in with the locals

The best way to experience any new location is to follow the locals. Don’t get stuck in staying at your hotel or visiting only the tourist spots. Blend in with the locals by visiting off-the-beaten-path restaurants. Walk around town and pop into local pubs and small cafes. It’s fun and rather romantic to be part of the everyday life.

Have a single splurge night

Those travelling on a tight budget must let loose on a single night. You want to find the most romantic restaurant with all things included and try spa treatments that sound amazing and expensive. For one night, live like a celebrity and enjoy every second of it.

Spend a few hours apart

It might sound crazy but you should actually spend a few hours apart on your honeymoon. It’s too easy to start feeling stifled if all you do is spend time together and a little time apart can get the romance going. It could just be a few hours in the morning where you might want to go shopping and they hit the golf course. Don’t turn it into something you do everyday or spend too much time apart but a few hours once or twice can do wonders.

Write it down

You might also want to journal your experiences together. Every night or morning, you could write a few sentences into a scrapbook about the things you did and experienced. You can share your favourite things and even list down the foods you ate. After the trip, you can add photos to your scrapbook and it’ll be a lovely memory of the trip.

The above tips can help you focus on the right things on your honeymoon. You’ll end up creating many memories while having a romantic vacation with your loved one!
