You've got enough to think about in the days and weeks leading up the wedding. Making a list of things to bring on your dream vacation doesn't need to be one of them.

Below, find a checklist of items you don't want to forget to pack if you're honeymooning on the beach or in the tropics. Cut and paste this list to a Word document, and then tweak it to customize for your own vacation plans.

Personally, I have a difficult time packing "light." I've gotten better in the past few years by packing coordinating clothing for beach vacations: shirts and shorts that can easily mix and match. (Of course, at the last minute, I often find myself throwing in that cute little top or those new comfy sandals...) If you can pare down to nearly the essentials, it will make schlepping luggage through the airport just that much easier. It will help you keep your hotel room a bit neater. And who wants to be putting clothing away when you arrive at your dream destination. You've got better things to do!

Here's a list to get you started:
