Why a Surprise Vacation is the Perfect Honeymoon
After months (or years!) of planning a wedding - from designing the invitations, to organizing seating charts, coordinating with all of the vendors, and generally perfecting every last detail - you may be feeling exhausted! It’s a lot, and we think you deserve a break. Your honeymoon should be all about relaxing and celebrating your new marriage with your partner…not even more stress and planning!
Wouldn’t it be nice to have one part of your wedding that you didn’t have to plan at all? We’re here to help! Consider taking a surprise vacation for your honeymoon. It’s a stress-free, exciting, and memorable way to kickstart your newlywed life!
Curious whether a surprise vacation is right for your honeymoon? Here are a few reasons we recommend taking one!
You’ve Planned Enough!
Let’s be honest: wedding planning is a full-time job. Even if you had help, chances are you’ve spent the last several months making a thousand tiny decisions you didn’t know you ever cared about, handling logistics, and managing expectations. After all of that, the last thing you want to do is plan yet another big event. A surprise honeymoon lets you hand off all that work to someone else. All you have to do is pack your bags and show up!
A Surprise Vacation is Stress-Free
Once your wedding day arrives, your brain is in full celebration mode. Imagine how amazing it would feel to know that once the reception is over, your bags are packed, your itinerary is planned specifically curated to your interests, and all the details are taken care of.
A surprise honeymoon eliminates the stress and decision-making that normally comes with travel. Instead of worrying about where to eat or what to do next, you get to be in the moment and enjoy the ride!
There Aren’t Any Decisions for You to Make
This one’s especially important. After all of the decisions for your wedding have been made, it’s incredibly refreshing to let someone else take the reigns. With a surprise vacation, you don’t have to compare hotel reviews, research restaurants, or coordinate travel logistics. Your trip will be carefully curated to match your interests that you share with us on your pre-trip survey. Whether you're looking to relax, explore a city, or spend time outdoors, your Pack Up + Go travel planner will coordinate your trip specifically based on what you tell us you’re interested in. The best part? Signing up takes about 15 minutes and then you don’t have to lift a finger!
It’s a Great Way to Share a New, Exciting Experience Together
Let’s be honest - when was the last time you were both surprised together? A surprise vacation is the ultimate way for you to both sit back, relax, and enjoy a completely new experience together. When you arrive at the airport to open your envelope, you’ll both get to partake in the thrill of a surprise! Is there a better way to set the tone for your marriage? We don’t think so!
It’s a Fun Way to Engage Your Wedding Guests
Want to add a fun twist to your wedding reception? Make your surprise honeymoon part of the celebration! Your guests can try to guess where you’re going, and you can even make it interactive with a guessing game. We’ve had many Pack Up + Go travelers actually open their surprise envelope during the reception itself! Gather your guests, open it together, and share the big moment as everyone finds out where you’re headed on your honeymoon.
This adds a unique touch to your big day - it’s a moment everyone will remember!
Your honeymoon should be spontaneous, relaxing, and all about the two of you. Taking a surprise vacation totally takes the pressure off of planning, while adding a touch of adventure to kick off your married life!
