Let's first start off with the basics. Absolute basics so you don't need to make any list - this is your best bet to start your journey!

Absolute Essentials in Your Carry case: Handbag + Backpack 

• A good wallet that can store all your passports, copies and more. We found Urby that's affordable and can monogram your wedding hashtag on it. 
• Airline tickets (printed or on your phone)
• Phone chargers
• A tiny water bottle so it can fit anywhere.
• Wet wipes
• Passport, visas, driver's license; Identification 
• Credit cards (take only those you'll need). Add a Starbucks card in - I got a free Macchiato with extra foam free after multiple trips in Madrid. Yeehaw!
• Hotel confirmations on phone
• Download these 4 apps for the important stuff: Google Translate, Uber, Airbnb are the basics. Tripit manages your itinerary. Spotted by Locals helps find new places from locals for you. 
• Two sets of photocopies of all of the above, plus a photocopy of related medical and/or trip insurance coverage and prescriptions 
• Phone numbers for your doctor, parents, boss and credit card companies (in case your cards are lost or stolen)
• Vitamins
• Birth control and condoms 
• ID tags for luggage
• Camera or in our case, Fuji Instax 
• Headphone splitter if you guys wanna watch a movie together. Universal Travel Plug. Earphones with rhinestones just in case you're feeling like a Kardashian. Also, your powerbank. 
• A small beauty bag ( Essentials will come in later in the story)
• Ziplock bags for packing wet swimsuits or underwear
