Three Months Ahead

  • Obtain your passports and visas, if necessary.
  • Consider signing up for travel insurance if one of the following apply: one of you has health issues; you're concerned about your safety; or the weather threatens to wreak havoc on your honeymoon (hurricane season, for example). Research travel insurance coverage offered by your credit cards, travel agent, or an independent agency; secure additional coverage for your specific concerns if necessary.

Two Months Ahead

  • Buy a camera and luggage -- or register for them before your bridal shower! Practice using your camera and be sure to develop a few rolls to make sure it's working properly.
  • Research and book tours, theater tickets, hot restaurant seats, and any other activities that require advance reservations -- earlier if you're traveling during peak season -- through your travel agent or soon-to-be hotel concierge (get their name and tip them when you arrive).
  • Get certified to scuba dive or begin lessons for any other activity you hope to pursue on your trip.
