You’ve been fantasising about
it for months (if not years), you’re buzzing with different ideas and you can’t
wait to get started – but where to start? Although exciting, the high
expectations and dizzying array of choices and decisions to make mean that booking
your honeymoon can also be stressful and even a little overwhelming at times.
However, help is at hand – follow our six useful booking tips to minimise
stress and ensure that you round off your wedding in true fairytale style, by
having the honeymoon you’ve been dreaming of.
1.Decide on names : Before your honeymoon, it’s
important to decide whether or not you want to travel under your new married
name. In general, it is best to book airline tickets and rooms under the
pre-wedding names of both parties, as they will need to match the name on your
passport (which you’re unlikely to be able to have changed until a few weeks or
months after the wedding.) Whatever you do, stick to your decision once you’ve
made it – airlines charge heavily for name changes!
2.Speak to someone with firsthand knowledge : Wherever you decide to go in the
end, be certain to talk to someone who has actually been to the destination and
property you’re intending to stay in – nothing beats firsthand knowledge, and
speaking to one of our experts can be both enlightening and reassuring!
3.Be on top of your budget : Perhaps the main cause of honeymoon
related stress is money; however, if you plan your budget carefully and stay on
top of it throughout your booking, it doesn’t have to be. Decide together which
parts of your honeymoon you’re happy to splash out more on and where you could
maybe save, and be sure to track what you spend.
