The week of your wedding is one of the most hectic weeks you'll ever experience. Every vendor wants to touch base, friends and family are arriving in town, last minute this, that, or the other are happening, and somehow in the middle of all of this you're supposed to pack for your honeymoon. Whether it's being done by you, the MoH/BM, or your future mother-in-law, we've got a checklist to ensure ease through packing. Before we get to the checklist, here are some things you'll want to ask yourselves:
- What is the weather forecast at your destination?
- Do you have reservations to any nice dinners/events?
- Are you planning on doing any outdoors activities?
- Are you going to be walking around a lot?
With this checklist, you'll want to tailor each of these items to your own trip...
