1. Plan your honeymoon together
2. Doing your homework
3. Getting your passport early
4. Keeping your money safe
5. Choosing Your Room
6. Avoiding Stomach Issues
These final two tips can really make the difference between a great honeymoon or one filled with stress and fighting.
7. Packing For Your Honeymoon: 
I recommend keeping your valuables on you – cameras, jewelry, medications etc. If you take a medication that is a matter of life or death, please take more with you than you need and have a new prescription written up as a back-up. You can never be too safe. Don’t take jewelry that you can’t live without! Last year, a friend of my husband was flying back from his honeymoon and during the flight connection his wife's jewelry was stolen out of their suitcase. Make sure you find out what the dress code requirements are for restaurants of your resort (if applicable). For example, some will require dress pants and close-toed shoes for men. Pack two days of essentials in your carry-on luggage if you have a connecting flight.
Speaking of carry-on and flight packing rules, all liquids should be 3.4 oz or less and in a quart sized Ziploc bag. When we were flying our family to Turks and Caicos last summer, my husband took a suitcase that I had wanted to be a checked bag, and he tried to bring it on as a carry on, well all of our liquids were in the suitcase, and they took all of our sunscreen and hair products! There is a lot of good information on the TSA website on what is allowed to be packed in your carry-on, and other security packing rules.
8. Learn How to Laugh Together: 
Before you leave for your honeymoon, you should always remember that we don’t live in a perfect world, and there is always a possibility that things may not go as planned. Having that in the back of your mind can make a big difference if things don’t go right. Having fun with each other and trying to make the best of it, can make a big difference between if you are going to argue or laugh during times of stress. This is not just good advice for your honeymoon, but will set the tone for your whole marriage when stressful times happen.
