Honeymoon In The Philippines

A Stress-free Honeymoon

In my opinion, every couple who plans to tie the knot should plan for three things at least: a) the wedding (quite obviously); b) family life (again, a given); and 3)... the honeymoon.

Let us explore a bit the relationship of this three.  Family life, at least in the Philippines, mostly would require marriage.  A good family plan includes this critical ceremony.  This is the consummation of sleepless nights, long talks over the phone (or texts), emails, and what-have-you.  But if you want to get off on a good... no, GREAT start, there’s the honeymoon.

Honeymoon comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes, so to speak.  And starting off on the right foot requires that we wade through all the honeymoon packages being offered by different travel agencies, hotels and resorts, and even wedding planners.

What are the things to consider while planning that first magical week with your recently acquired life partner?  Read on and I hope the tips below could be of help.

1. Know thyself.  Two become one so it’s really not you alone anymore who gets to decide (unless of course you want to pull a fast one and sweep your sweetie off his/her feet).  What is it that characterizes you?  What is it that you want? These are some questions you need to settle.

For example, you want to stay close to your roots and have this as a theme to celebrate your love while staying romantic, relaxed, and hopefully reinvigorated after months of preparation for your wedding.  You want a destination that you both will enjoy, without having to spend much.

1. Once you got #1, decide on the best honeymoon destination.   In our example, you want your honeymoon to be here in the Philippines, in one of its grandest beaches—BORACAY.  Honeymoon destinations matter a lot as it sets the atmosphere for a romantic getaway.  You can say that every day is a honeymoon but really, it can only happen once and you want this to be special.

1. Iron out the details.  How many days will it take?  Do you have the budget?  What are you in for?  Honeymoon isn’t just hugging and cuddling, you might want to get to know each other a little deeper.  Why not go island-hopping, snorkelling, and jet-skiing.  After which, you get a relaxing massage or aromatherapy.

1. Take care of the logistics.  You can always book yourselves airline tickets, hotel reservations, etc.  But why ruin the honeymoon romance with that?  Leave it to the expert.  Taking care of these things could be as easy as ABC.  Just give your travel agency a call or send them an email and they’ll take care of this for you.

1. Lastly, the early bird gets the worm.  There are certain benefits to doing everything early... or at least these two things.  One is to plan early.  You do not need honeymoon planning get in the way of the actual wedding planning.  You are doing yourself a disservice if the details of these two events get mixed up.  Second is to book early.  You will be saving serious money by booking your airline tickets and hotel reservations way ahead of time.  Also, you may ask your travel agency if they have available promo in your chosen honeymoon destination.

Remember, you need not subject yourself to stressful planning.  There are travel agencies that could handle this for you.
