Should I let my FH plan our honeymoon and surprise me?

We got engaged last in July and our wedding is planned for 6/25/2010. We are almost all ready done with the planning for the wedding, except for the honeymoon. We have discussed what we want but am not sure if I want us both to plan it or have him surprise me??? I think it would be super romantic and special for him to plan it, but I’m not sure. Please help!

As long as you both have similar ideas of what a fun vacation is, and as long as he wants to plan it, then I think that’s a great idea!

My husband’s idea of a fun vacation is skiing or gambling. Me, I prefer a warm and sunny beach. As long as you both agree on the type of vacation, it would be great to be surprised!


a co-worker recently got married and her husband’s only job was to plan the honeymoon. He just told her hot or cold (so she’d know what to pack) and how many days. It was really sweet.

They ended up going to Costa Rica and then a cruise, it was really sweet.


If you’d be happy going anywhere at all, go ahead and let him take care of it. If there is any scenario in which you’d be disappointed with his choice, make the planning a joint venture.

If he wanted to go to the city where his favorite baseball team plays, and see a game or 2, would you be ok with that? How about if he picked a cabin in the woods with nothing to do? Or Las Vegas? Would any of these options honestly leave you wishing you’d planned it together? If so, work that out together. You only get 1 honeymoon.


Depends on your FH. Is he organized, a good planner? If yes, then go for it! It would be really sweet. But if hes disorganized and not great at following through with details (and you should know this from planning your wedding) then it will be a disaster.


I would love for my fiance to plan it.I think that would be a lovely idea.


There is a certain freedom that comes from letting go and losing control of a situation. I think you should encourage him make the plans and surprise you. Think of it as his special gift to you on starting your life together.


My husband to be planned our honeymoon which was great. One less chore for me to do. Most of my friends future husbands also planned the honeymoon. I think it’s a great idea.


That really depends on what kind of person you are.

I personally would NOT be excited about a totally surprise vacation. I want to know how to pack. I want to know where we’re going so I can research things to see and restaurants to eat at. For me, part of the fun of travel is the preparation and the anticipation. It’s something my guy and I like to do together, and I would never want him to shoulder all the responsibility for planning a big vacation.

But if you don’t care about that stuff and prefer to kind of go with the flow, maybe it would be fun to have a surprise honeymoon. I don’t know, I’m not you.


Personally, I wouldn’t trust my husband to plan a vacation, let alone a HM. I love him to bits but he’s not a great planner. I like being in control of our vacation plans.


Only allow this if you will truly be happy with whatever he selects. His idea of a fun vacation might be a fishing holiday in Nunavut.
