Just one more push…. Nope! That last pair of shoes simply will not fit. We’ve all been there at some point, the never ending struggle of packing! Honeymoon packing in particular can be quite a challenge. ‘Am I bringing enough dresses? What if I don’t have a matching pair of shoes? I definitely need my straightener and curler and hairdryer….’
Before you decide to try and wear all of your clothes to fit that last clutch bag in, we have a few little tips that will change the way you pack forever! No more overweight bags and throwing out beauty products at check in, we promise. Here are a few tips for honeymoon packing:
Plan Your Outfits
Plan your outfits literally down to a tee! There’s nothing more annoying than getting to the end of your trip and realising that you haven’t worn half of your clothes. One pair of flats, trainers and heels all the same colour is all you need. The same goes for handbags, clutches and purses. Bring the essentials, again, all in the same colour scheme and everything else can be found on your holiday!
Book Extra Baggage
Are you planning on a major shopping trip? On your way home, find out from your airline if they will allow you book extra baggage. Personally, I’ve made the mistake of sending items home only to realise that they were lost somewhere in transit. Avoid this by buying an extra suitcase while away. If you’re worried about the bag getting lost, why not pay at little extra to insure it?
Do Your Homework
Call your hotel, friend’s house, where ever you’re staying and ask the following: do you have a hairdryer, towels, beach towels, iron, bathrobes, slippers or anything else bulky that could be left behind at home? Also, check temperatures and weather conditions. Do not bring those ‘just in case’ clothes. You don’t need them! And even if you do, it’s more than likely you can find somewhere to buy it.
