HONEYMOON

Don’t feel like you have to leave for your honeymoon

trip immediately following the wedding. Many couples

choose to spend the day after their wedding with their

friends and family who have travelled to witness their

marriage. A simple brunch at the hotel where most

guests are staying or at a local restaurant is a great way

to visit with wedding guests you may not have been

able to spend time with at the reception. Some couples

even choose to wait a couple of months before leaving

on their honeymoon.

When you sit down to plan, be sure to have an idea

of when you’d like to travel, how long you’d like to

stay and an idea of the types of things you’d like to do

on your trip. If you don’t have a specific destination

in mind, contacting a travel agent and sharing your

wishlist is a great way to get started. Travel agents

tend to have extensive knowledge and experience with

honeymoon travel. They work directly with resorts and

cruise companies which usually means you will get a

better deal and maybe even a few perks added in. Your

travel agent will monitor your reservations as your trip

approaches and alert you of any changes. This will save

you time and money, and give you peace of mind as

you travel because you know if something goes wrong,

the answer is a quick phone call or email away.

WHAT’S YOUR

HONEYMOON

STYLE?

No matter what you and your fiancé like to do, the

honeymoon of your dreams will be the perfect way to

celebrate your new life together.

Are you and your fiancé the type of people who

love spend your vacation relaxing on the beach and

soaking up the sun? Or do you love exploring new

locations and cultures? Regardless of your vacation

style, there is a honeymoon destination just for you!

We have many amazing places worth exploring here

in the United States, so you don’t have to travel far

to find what you’re looking for. However,

honeymoons are a great opportunity to explore the

wider world around us.

TRAVEL DOCUMENTS

We know it’s a bummer, but if you and your

new spouse are jet-setting on your

honeymoon right after the wedding, you’re

going to want to use your maiden name

when making your travel reservations.

It takes time to process and issue the

marriage certificate which is required for

changing your name on official documents.

Then you have to wait to receive your

updated identification such as a drivers

license or passport in your new married

name. Traveling under your maiden name

will cut down on the stress of receiving

these documents on time.

Once you get back from your amazing trip

you can apply for a name change on your

passport. You will have to mail in your old

passport, but it will be returned to you

along with your brand new passport with

your new last name. As long as you file

the name change form for your passport

(called a 5504 form) within 12 months of

your wedding, you will not have to pay an

additional fee for the change.
