The last thing you would want to do on your honeymoon is to spend your time stressing over all the valuables that you are carrying in your bags. It is always said that 'precaution is better than cure'. So, refrain from carrying any fancy gadgets, expensive watches and jewellery, to avoid any hitch on your vacation.

Until and unless, you are planning to move away from civilization for a really long time, you do not need to pack full-sized toiletries that are lying in your bathroom. You will easily find everything from toothpaste to shampoo wherever you go, so don't stress on overpacking your bags with such products. It is best to go for travel-sized toothpastes, shampoos, conditioners, etc.
A special tip for the newlywed brides, honeymoon is not another formal event. So, avoid carrying too much of makeup. Instead carry just the bare minimums. Remember, less is always more on a honeymoon.
This is for those newlywed brides, and a few guys, who are obsessed with footwear. Just because you want to dress up, and feel good, you don't have to stuff your bag with 10-12 pairs of shoes, to match each and every outfit that you have packed. Carry a maximum of 4 to 5 pairs of shoes in neutral colours, which can easily be mixed and matched with different outfits that you have packed.
