When you are in the wedding planning groove, and all you can think about is your upcoming big day, the last thing on your mind perhaps is the honeymoon! It magically appears in people's minds when they talk about other people's getaways, forgetting at times that it too requires planning, preparation and packing!
Luckily, packing doesn't have to be stressful because we, and many other websites such as TheKnot, have compiled an ultimate list of items that you might need on your honeymoon. Granted, for various reasons, some items may need to be added (i.e. medical reasons) and for some, a lot on this list may be too much! That is okay! Feel free to add and take away from this list and make it yours.
Clothes
Determining how many outfits you pack depends on the amount of days and nights you are staying out of town. If you are interested in having one, two, three outfits per day, be sure to multiply the amount of items accordingly.
- Comfy Outfit for Lounging and/or Traveling
- Going Out Outfit
- Pajama Set
- Beach Strolling Outfit
- Workout Set
- Causal Outfit
- Undergarments
- Sports Bra
- Swimsuit
- Cover-Ups for Swimsuit
- Sports Gear
- Hat/Sun Visor
Shoes
Depending on the activities you plan to have during your stay, you can choose to delete some of these items from your packing list.
- Gym Shoes
- Sandals (flip flops may cause feet blisters)
- Pumps/Heels
- Snow Boots
- Slippers
- Casual Espadrilles (or any comfy shoe)
Food/Snacks
Just like medicines and toiletries, buying food when out of town can be expensive. Granted, you cannot pack everything you plan to eat (unless you have a large cooler and ways to keep it cool) , but you can lessen the monetary burden of purchasing every meal by packing a few.
- Bread
- Peanut Butter
- Granola Bars
- Mixed Nuts
- Bottled Water (Can be done in an ecofriendly matter with reusable large bottles)
- Mini or Large Cooler

- Pain Relievers
- Anti-Diarrheal

Toiletries
Toiletries are expensive when purchasing at the hotel or resort itself, even at nearby gas stations because they know their audience is out-of-town visitors. Not all these toiletry items may be needed for your travel checklist, and remember you can always purchase these if you want to save room in your luggage.
