After all of the chaos of a wedding, it’s nice to get away from the crowd and relax with your new spouse on your honeymoon. While there are endless ways to celebrate, there are a few special ways to make your time together even more memorable while staying at your hotel. Here are a few tasks to carry out in advance to surprise your loved one.

How to Make Your Honeymoon Extra Special

1. Sign Up for an Adventure

Since this is a unique type of vacation, you might want to try activities you normally wouldn’t experience. If your partner doesn’t mind heights, you could book a hot-air balloon ride or even go sky-diving. Alternatively, go on a food tour, visit nearby vineyards, or book a boat ride. It's your honeymoon, so go big.

2. Let the Hotel Know the Occasion   

Often, hotels will go out of their way to set up romantic atmospheres for newly wedded couples. Whether it’s by offering champagne or setting up a reservation at the onsite restaurant, some big surprises can come out of mentioning the occasion to the staff.

3. Plan a Romantic Night In

If you and your partner don’t want to walk on the wild side, plan romantic evenings at your hotel. You could cuddle in bed while ordering a movie and room service, or get a few drinks at the hotel’s bar. Sure, there’s a lot to do out in the city, but there are also several recreational activities right where you stay. 

4. Have a Photoshoot

You could also secretly hire a photographer and surprise your partner with a honeymoon photoshoot. You'll have the special moment captured so you can both remember the honeymoon for years to come. Don’t forget to take advantage of all of the scenic views and bridges around the city.
