Top ten things all honeymooners should know

Whilst most couples get a welcome hand from family and friends when organizing their wedding, most honeymoon's ins and outs tend to be the product exclusively of bride and bridegroom.

In fact, in most cases, the honeymoon is the first substantial collaboration of the husband-to-be and wife-to-be to be. Incidentally, that's not to say that all newly-weds go on a honeymoon of course. But if you're able to, then apart from being a great way to relax after the hectic week of your wedding, a honeymoon is also ideal for spending some quality cocoon time together with your new spouse.

So let's go through our list of 10 things that could go a long way into making your honeymoon a perfect one.

10. Start by agreeing on the budget that's available for your honeymoon. Are you both keen to make it the globe-trotting trip of a lifetime? Or is a couple of days of lounging on a sun-kissed beach just the ticket for you both? Perhaps a happy medium in between these extremes two is what you're aiming for? Whatever your honeymoon objectives, settle on a common target and estimated budget to go with it. Don't forget that you may receive some envelopes during your wedding, so a little wiggle room is in order.

9. Narrow down your resort choice. The best way is to whittle your short-list down by elimination. Some resorts adjust their rates upwards during their peak season (). Others will be too crowded for newly-weds to have any real private time. Can you use a resort recommendation? Let us know here. We're happy to provide a few resort suggestions. Also, keep in mind our off-season. December and January are best avoided if you really want some idyllic tropical paradise time.

8. Are the two of you in synch as to what your honeymoon should be like? Hubby may be in for a wild "Me Tarzan, you Jane" jungle-trekking adventure, whereas hubby's significant other may prefer to go for a leisurely snorkel safari. The idea for married couples is to compromise, so what better way to start to give and take a little than during your honeymoon? Of course, there's nothing stopping you from going to a honeymoon destination that offers fun for both of you, like Tioman Island. After all, Tioman offers plenty of slow-paced fun activities for the languidly-inclined, along with exciting thrills for weekend warriors.

7. Since your honeymoon is taking you overseas, perhaps you need a visa? And best not forget the other little details, like ensuring that your passport has the minimum required validity remaining to be able to enter Malaysia. Usually 6 months is the required minimum, but it's a good idea to double-check for Malaysia. Better safe than sorry. Incidentally, for your information: no precautions are required for malaria, dengue or yellow fever in Tioman, since no local transmission cases have been detected for a good number of years. 6. Are you willing to tease out every single little detail of your honeymoon yourself or could you do with some help? Perhaps consider employing the assistance of someone in the know. For instance, just ask us if there's anything we can do for you. We're happy to assist.

5. When the time has come to make your actual resort reservations, casually drop the fact that you came by their website after visiting our site, Tioman Honeymoon. The resort in question may instantly be inclined to add a little extra, such as a Honeymoon room upgrade, a complimentary Honeymoon cake or perhaps honeymoon-themed room decoration elements. You only go on a honeymoon once, so every gesture to make it special is a welcome one.

4. Some honeymoons are wedding and honeymoon in one, where the wedding guests share the same hotel for a day or two, before they go back home, leaving the newly-weds in blissful peace. Keep in mind that even though your guests are invited, it's important to ensure that you have plenty of private together-time. Make it clear that it's best not have any lingering kids, pets or well-meaning friends or relatives. Ultimately, your honeymoon is for the two of you.

3. Since your honeymoon is a once-a-lifetime occasion, money shouldn't be a source of issues. Not that it needs to be a financially no holds barred extravaganza of course. But nothing would cool the bliss factor more than realizing that you've budgeted too conservatively. If possible, pay for your honeymoon in advance. Alternatively, make sure your resort accepts credit card payments. Just ask us if you want to know which Tioman resorts accept credit cards. If you prefer not to have any payments hassle at all, then go for an all-inclusive honeymoon package. These can include pretty much everything: flight/ferry, all your F & B, your room, fun activities. Even gratuities can be included. Nice and easy.

2. Whilst divvying up your honeymoon days, make sure you schedule enough time to do absolutely nothing at all. There's nothing more relaxing than having a totally blank agenda. Peppering your honeymoon with a few hours of nothing is a great way to keep the pace nice and lazy. Besides, it's your honeymoon, who knows what may happen?

1. For an awesome time from start to finish, try to always be considerate of your spouse's wishes. Not sweating the small stuff and a little bit of give and a little bit of take will go a very long way. Once this tone is set, you'll both be naturally more inclined to continue your lives together with plenty of mutual understanding and consideration. But all this goes without saying :)
