Packing Tips for Honeymoon

• What you pack in terms of clothes depends on the destination you are headed to. If you are heading to a colder region, then you will have to stack up on a lot of jackets and warm clothes. In case you are going to a beach destination, then you'd pack more shorts, swimming costumes, etc.
• Get an organiser or a travel kit which takes care of most of your toiletries and other little things. A toiletry kit other than the basics should have a sewing kit, earbuds, cotton, toothpick, sanitizer among other items.
• A sturdy backpack is a must. This backpack should be big enough to accommodate an extra pair of clothes for a day. Choose a backpack that has multiple pockets, where you can keep your skin essentials, wallets, passports too. So choosing the right bag is important.
• Special outfits. We are sure most of you must have gone honeymoon shopping. While every night is a date when on a honeymoon, there will always be one outfit which will be a little extra special. It could be a revealing dress or a fancy top, but it is a must. Travel Tip of The Week: Fashion-Forward Tips for Men and Women to Give Serious Vacation Style Goals. 
• In fact, packing clothes for a honeymoon is a checklist in itself. Make a list of how many total outfits you want to carry and then add an extra top and pants to it. You always need to have a backup in case, your top gets torn, the zip needs a fix or misses out on a button.
• Lingerie! This has to be among the cheesiest stuff you are gonna pack, need we say more? Well, but when you pick out on the fancy lingerie, try and see if you are comfortable in it. Often the fancy brasseries are made of satin and frills, they tend to get sweaty. So pick comfort too. Carry more pair of innerwear.
• While you pack all the good clothes which you have never worn before on a honeymoon, also pack some basic tees and track pants to wear on your commute back home.
• You could also pack in a surprise outfit for your partner which you could gift them on one of the dates.
• Don't forget to carry glares, hats, scarves etc. You are going to be clicking a lot of pictures so don't forget the accessories.
• Carry extra cash. Most couples often book a customised trip where everything is taken care of. But always carry extra cash which you can utilise in case of emergencies or make special arrangements for your partner. If you want to ditch the regular restaurant and take your partner on a fancy date, then you should have the cash to plan it well.
• Last but definitely not the least, carry protection. Do not completely rely on your partner to bring condoms. A little extra never hurt than hunting for one in midst of your romantic rendezvous.
• In all the clothing and accessorising, do not forget your electronic gadget essentials. Carry your power bank and chargers. Carry a selfie stick to make pictures easier.

We hope the above checklist will help you to sort out your honeymoon packing a little. Often with the excitement of taking your trip, you can leave out the basic stuff behind. So what you've shopped for the honeymoon will go in the suitcases for sure, but plan your outfits according to the days and destinations. It is also not just about the outfits, right? We wish you have a happy and memorable honeymoon trip!
