The Ultimate Vacation: 3 Handmade Essentials to Fully Enjoy Your Honeymoon!

The Long-Awaited Honeymoon＊

The enjoyment and privilege of being newlyweds is, of course, a romantic trip just for the two of you - the honeymoon♡

The timing for going on a honeymoon can vary between brides and grooms, whether it be before or after the wedding, but one thing remains the same for every couple: it's a wonderfully amazing event!＊

After all, a honeymoon is not just an ordinary trip; it's a special journey that can only be taken now, as newlyweds!

It's nice that even in workplaces where it’s usually difficult to take paid leave, it's easier to take time off for a honeymoon. Since you might spend significantly more time and money than on regular trips, this could potentially be your biggest vacation of your life, so please enjoy it to the fullest!♩

Let's Enjoy the Honeymoon from the Preparation Period♡

Just like the wedding, the key to fully enjoying the honeymoon is to start having fun during the "preparation period" – that's how to enjoy it 200%!♡

There are even research findings abroad that state, “Just thinking about your next trip increases happiness and can lead to a longer life.”

One way to thoroughly enjoy the preparation period is… that's right, DIY! Many brides-to-be may awaken to the joy of handmade crafts through preparing for the wedding.

In this article, we will introduce three items you may want to make for your honeymoon.

Let's turn your sweet honeymoon and even the preparation period into incredibly happy memories!♡

Handmade Item for the Honeymoon ① Travel Itinerary

The first thing you want to prepare is a "travel itinerary"♡ When you were in elementary or middle school, you probably always took a "travel itinerary" for school events, right?

By researching various places you want to visit, things you want to eat, and activities you want to try for the travel itinerary, you will surely get even more excited about your honeymoon!♡

Utilize the DIY skills you cultivated while preparing for the wedding to create your own original travel itinerary!＊

Things to write in the honeymoon travel itinerary may include:

☑ Schedule

☑ Packing list

☑ Accommodation

☑ Activities you want to do

☑ Restaurants you want to visit

☑ Souvenir list

Additionally, some couples create pages for "purpose of the honeymoon (e.g., to forget about work and relax)" and "topics to discuss (e.g., children, home)"♡

Handmade Item for the Honeymoon ② Honeymoon Props

The second item you want to make is honeymoon props♡

Honeymoon props are photo props that display the day of the trip such as "Day 1" in English or locations to indicate where you are.

If you take photos with the places you visited and the food you ate on that day, the pictures will be even cuter!♡

When you look back at the photos, you'll immediately recall "On Day X, we went here~."

It's also convenient for reporting on social media like "Honeymoon Day 3! We are going here today!"♩

Rather than making photo props for each day, some brides made reusable chalkboard-style props that can be written on and erased multiple times♡

Since you can write on the spot, it might be fun to jot down how you're feeling at that moment!＊

Handmade Item for the Honeymoon ③ Photography Props

Lastly, the item I want to introduce is photography props♡ On your honeymoon, you're sure to encounter beautiful sceneries you wouldn't typically see in daily life. It is a perfect opportunity to create wonderful photos, so many people bring along classic photography items like garlands and photo props to enjoy self-portraits.

Of course, you can also hire a professional photographer to capture wedding photos. Wedding photos taken at your honeymoon destination will become just as precious as those taken at the wedding.

Hotel rooms also make excellent photo spots＊ Since it's just the two of you, you can retake pictures as many times as you like!♡

Why not DIY some photography props that you didn't have time to prepare for pre-wedding or wedding photos and use them for a re-shoot on your honeymoon?＊
