Why Planning Your Honeymoon Might Be More Stressful Than You Think

You just got engaged (congrats!) and between choosing a venue, juggling guest lists, and answering non-stop questions from friends and family, someone drops the inevitable:

"So, where are you going on your honeymoon?"

Cue the blank stare.

Planning a honeymoon should feel exciting, right? But for most couples, it's just one more thing on a very long to-do list. And unlike the wedding, there's no blueprint. No Pinterest board can tell you what destination is right for you two.

That’s where a lot of couples get stuck.

What Most People Don’t Tell You About Honeymoon Planning

You might be thinking, "It's just a vacation—how hard can it be?"

Here’s what most people don’t tell you:

Planning a honeymoon takes almost as much time as the wedding. From researching destinations and comparing flights to reading hundreds of reviews, it's a rabbit hole of decisions.

Pinterest and TikTok are fun but not realistic planning tools. What looks dreamy on a reel may be impractical (or overcrowded) in real life.

You don’t have to do it all yourself. Just like hiring a wedding planner, working with a honeymoon travel planner can completely transform the experience.

The Hidden Pitfalls of DIY Honeymoon Planning

Still tempted to go it alone? Here are a few common issues couples run into:

• Booking the wrong destination for the season. (Yes, the Maldives has a rainy season.)

• Trying to do too much. A "see it all" itinerary often turns into exhaustion.

• Not factoring in your travel style. If one of you wants luxury downtime and the other craves adventure, you need balance.

• Losing out on perks and upgrades. Many luxury hotels and resorts offer complimentary extras when you book through a travel advisor.
