How to Pack for Your Honeymoon

Your honeymoon is a once-in-a-lifetime getaway — the start of your new chapter together. Whether you’re heading to the beach, the mountains, or an exotic city, packing smart means you’ll spend less time stressing and more time celebrating love.

Here’s how to pack for your honeymoon — with tips tailored for both gals and guys.

💡 First Things First: Know Your Destination

Before you zip that suitcase, consider:

• Weather: Is it tropical, chilly, or a mix?

• Activities: Lounging? Hiking? Dining out?

• Culture: Are there modesty norms or dress codes?

🌍 Example: A trip to Bali needs flowy clothes and temple-friendly wraps. A honeymoon in Paris? Think layers and street style.
