#5. Put in only the best pair of footwear

You might love all your heels, wedges, flats, boots and all the other ones in your closet, but it is advisable that you pick only two or three pairs that are best suited for your honeymoon. Pack in a pair of comfortable flats or wedges that can help you explore the place without hurting your feet. Take in a pair of fancy sandals, just in case if you and your partner chooses to party all night. Sports or runners will be useful when you and your partner decide to take up adventurous activities during your honeymoon.

#6. Keep your outfits ready

Once you have decided the clothes that you would wear during your honeymoon, also ensure that they are clean and ready to be used. Keeping the task of laundering your clothes until the last day may prove to be a bad idea. Moreover, laundered and pressed clothes will only ease the task of packing, as you will be able to make more room for other items. You can pack your undergarments smartly as well to save time. Stack your bras on top of each other and fold them up, roll up your camisoles, put one sock in the other pair and roll up this way to ensure you do not lose one of the pairs.

#7. Take bags that come with extra pockets

Look for a suitcase that comes with lots of pockets on the interior side and provides a good depth to help you fit all your essentials without making it look overstuffed. Extra pockets in your bag will allow you to take a good number of accessories that you would like to match with your clothes. You can also fit in your toiletries, flip-flops, belts, laptop and other important items in the pockets of your bag. Suitcase with heavy designs should best be avoided when going on your honeymoon, as they weigh more.
