Daytime Outfits
- Comfortable walking outfits (3-5 depending on trip length)

- Beach coverups — for restaurant transitions
- Sunglasses, hat, sandals, comfortable walking shoes

Intimate Nightwear — The Important Part
This is what most checklists miss. Here is what to pack:
| Night | What to Wear | Shop |
| Night 1 (Wedding Night) | Your hero piece — satin babydoll or lace set | Suhaag Raat |
| Night 2-3 | Matching lingerie set or chemise | Lingerie Sets |
| Night 4+ | Mix: bodysuit, sheer piece, maybe a fun costume | Honeymoon |
| Travel nights | Comfortable sleep set (still cute) | Babydolls |
How many pieces: 3-5 for a week trip. More variety = more excitement. Full guide: Honeymoon Lingerie Packing Guide
