Gay Honeymoon Checklist

When you not only have a wedding to plan but a honeymoon as well, it can be quite stressful. We’ve compiled our list of things to think about when planning a honeymoon.

Types of honeymoon

What kind of honeymoon should I go on? We understand that everyone is different. Some couples want to throw themselves into a destination and explore it from top to bottom, whereas others prefer to kick back and relax in a luxurious resort – and some like to do a little bit of both! If you and your new husband or wife have different interests, then multi-centre holidays are the perfect solution. It allows you to combine multiple honeymoon destinations into one trip.

Your names and passport

We often get asked “do you need to change your passport names when you get married?”. Changing your passport names for your honeymoon means there are a lot of things to consider. As part of getting married you are likely thinking of what your married name will be. In the case of same-sex couples it’s more common to think about a double-barrelled name. You must ensure that when you book your gay or lesbian honeymoon that you think about what will be on your passport at the time you travel. Flights in particular need to be booked in the correct name or you can end up with costly amendment fees.

You can apply a new passport in your married name three months before your ceremony and it becomes valid on the day of your wedding. However, it’s important to be aware that some countries won’t issue a visa for a passport that is not yet valid. Some travel companies will advise that it is fine to travel on your old passport but with your wedding certificate in tow. This is sensible advice, but there are places in which people still have problems. As a rule of thumb, we suggest to our clients that it’s best to leave changing your passport names until after you travel.

That way you can book your trip in your pre-married names and then not have to worry about any problems that may arise on your trip. Of course, you should also ensure you carry your wedding or civil partnership certificate with you on your honeymoon so you can be sure that you benefit from any honeymoon upgrades that might be on offer to you from the resorts you stay at – and to wave at them at the airport check-in desk to try to blag an upgrade!

Your budget

Everyone wants their honeymoon to be holiday of a lifetime, and we know they can be expensive. Our gift voucher service means your wedding guests can contribute to your honeymoon. Don’t settle for a third set of salad servers you don’t need when you can have a contribution to your honeymoon.

LGBT laws

For same-sex couples, we understand you may be apprehensive about staying in hotels in destinations which may not be known for their LGBT friendliness. Our product team have developed fantastic relationships with hotels all over the world who believe in the same ethos as us. We ensure you will have a double bed in your room, receive honeymoon benefits and are treated like any other guests in the hotel – even in some destinations which may not be seen as traditionally gay-friendly.

More Gay Honeymoon Ideas

The team at OutOfOffice.com have planned many a honeymoon in their time and know where the best gay honeymoon destinations are. From the private villa in the Maldives to the yacht sailing round French Polynesia and Bora Bora, our team know how to ensure you have the most memorable honeymoon. After all, it should be the most important trip of your life!

Minimoon

Depending on when you get married, it might not be the right season for your honeymoon destination or you might not be able to to get a lot of time off work. A minimoon is the perfect solution. A weekend break to a swanky hotel in Europe is a lovely way to celebrate your marriage, before your official honeymoon. A favourite minimoon itinerary of ours is a trip to the Kakslauttanen Arctic Resort in Finland – also known as the glass igloo hotel.

Even if your wedding is in the summer, it is still a great place to visit. In the winter you can stay in a glass igloo and watch the Northern Lights dazzle in the sky. Head out on a husky safari or have a go at ice fishing. In the summer, enjoy the stunning mountain scenery and spend your days hiking and biking in the area. The midnight sun in the summer is also an awesome sight to behold.

Weddings Abroad

We can arrange a traditional gay wedding in Bora Bora on the beach along with all the pre-wedding arrangements such as makeup and hairstyling. Spend some time with your newlywed in an iconic overwater villa and enjoy watching the sunsets each evening whilst enjoying a glass of bubbly on your private terrace. The beauty of having your ceremony abroad, is we have onsite wedding planners who are there to take care of every last detail, meaning you don’t have to worry about a thing.
