Before getting started on providing you the first step in preparing for your honeymoon, let me extend to you a, “Congratulations!” on behalf of this blogging community. Indulging in the many activities and delights that a honeymoon can offer can be one of the most satisfying moments in life with your spouse.

Now that congratulations are in order, the next step for you and your partner is to first ask yourselves the most vital question, “Are we ready for our honeymoon?” Some couples fail to answer this crucial question and proceed to designing extravagant honeymoons without first contemplating what they can and cannot handle.

You must ask yourselves two questions, and prepare answers for them which will ultimately help you and the venues and/or organizers who are to be involved.

The first question to consider is, “What am I willing, or capable, of doing in terms of physical activity?” Often, in the more adventurous types of honeymoons, couples are required to do quite an amount of strenuous activities, such as climbing stairs or hiking.

While signing up for wild and perhaps exotic French honeymoon packages may seem to be the most exciting and grandest time of your life—be careful what you are signing up for. Many times these activities will demand your body to be highly active, and exploring the mountainside may not be as exciting as you once thought, given that you and your partner will be too busy focusing on pushing on.

Make sure both of you are ready to tackle any physical demands before choosing a venue. If you aren’t in for the workout, find a venue more suitable to your relaxation needs.

The second question to consider is, “What kind of experience am I looking to have?” While traveling to countries such as Europe is an admirable venue to aim for, you’ll have to narrow down your expectations further with your partner. There is a vast amount of places to see in Europe, from the most unique locations that are not usually visited, to the most iconic of locations.

If you are not much of a history person, you and your partner may not be so interested to see well-known sightseeing locations. What others might consider as an honor to view, the both of you may only grow bored of standing and staring at old ruins, even if it is in a grand place such as Europe. Alternatively, if you are highly captivated by ancient villages or structures, you can then narrow down your choices to only visiting the most popular sights.
