After your big day, you have to get your things together and pack for your honeymoon. Taking the time out from everything to simply enjoy life with your new partner has become a fundamental part of the newlywed experience. The frantic planning and organising of the wedding itself can take away from planning for things after the big day. Because of that is no surprise that newlyweds forget to pack essentials as they are leaving for their first trip as a married couple.

If you're planning on getting married or you're in the process and you're thinking about what to do for your honeymoon, then here are some essential factors newlyweds must not forget on honeymoon.

1. Budget

Most couples are planning on spending around about 20% of the total cost of most weddings. It was imperative to take some time to spend together, but also, you don't need to spend a thousand to fly somewhere luxurious right after the biggest and most expensive event you have ever hosted.

Of course, some honeymooners are willing to spend more money on flights and luxurious destination, and lovely accommodations once they arrived. 89% of couples want to be lazy and chill on their honeymoon, and for them, it is crucial to stay somewhere lovely enough to make relaxing and enjoying justified.
