What would you pack?

I would say buy suncream (if required) at the airport. There is usually a Boots. I’ve found it can be quite expensive in resort.

I pad. Phone. Charger!!

I'll be following this thread because, although I am an experienced traveller and packer, I am invited to a Sikh wedding which involves 5 different ceremonies (fortunately not all in formal attire) and will be adding a few days staying with my mother at the beginning or end of the stay.

I'm used to just putting enough pairs of knickers for the days I'm there, phone, purse (not forgetting a second purse for Sterling) and passport and go!

/ Good list.. Check what is provided by the hotel - most toiletries, dressing gown. slippers and towels are usually included, although not for the beach. Buy suncream at the hotel or nearby shop and mozzie spray at the airport. roll underwear/lingerie and pack into gaps in suitcase with shoes in plastic bags (wedding shoes/sandals/comfy walking shoes for city. I keep small plastic pots bottles for decanting face cream, cleanser - they can be thrown away when packing to come home. Put the makeup you know you will use - mascara / eyeshadow, etc, in a separate make up bag so you can find it when you need it and you don't take too much. This is a lovely special holiday - so don't worry - if you need something buy it and leave it for the maids if it doesn't fit in the case when you come home. . I have bought and left beach towels and sandals before now. It sounds as though it will be hot so you will need cover up lightweight cotton tops and trousers - there are lots in the shops at the moment. Have a lovely time.

It might be an idea to watch one of Dominique Sache's videos on YouTube. She's a 50 something news anchor in Houston and regularly packs for holidays, weddings and occasions that her 5 step-children are involved in.
She has one which incorporates packing for a beach break/sight-seeing/formal party combined and shows how she decides what she is going to pack (including make-up and toiletries) and how she packs it.
All her videos are very watchable and give many hints and tips on all kinds of subjects.
The one I've mentioned is well worth your time and I hope it gives you some ideas.
Enjoy your trip.

Last couple of years I have tried to keep my holiday luggage to a minimum. I many pairs of leggings in various plain colours and various lengths. They are lightweight and don't need ironing and dont take up much room. And several long tunic tops. I have found Asda particularly good for pretty, lightweight inexpensive tops of this kind. Again, they are light and don't need to be ironed and some are really pretty. I have smarter black leggings edged with lace or crystals that can be dressed up with nice top and a dressy pair of sandals for evenings. Skechers footwear are incredibly light and comfortable. And a cardigan. I would say dont stress too much about your day to day wear. Concentrate on your wedding outfit. And enjoy.

Oops forgot beach bag!

You might also want to order your travel money (don't buy it at airport)

Roll rather than fold clothes in suitcase.

Beach - pool
flipflops
2 or 3 swimming costumes or tankinis.
Sarongs
These can easily be rinsed out and dried.
Check to see if hotels provide pool towels.
(If so this will also help re luggage weight).

Evenings:
Dresses and pashmina.
(Reversible are useful).
Light sandals or sparkly flipflops.
Small bag.

City sight seeing:
Dresses
Light weight jacket or cardigan.
Walking Sandals.
Cotton underware.
An across body type bag to carry money safely.
Sunhat
Sunglasses
Camera.

Rural out and about:
Shorts or summer trousers with T-shirts.
Trainers? (Cotton traders do light-weight trainers that can go in water).

Wedding Outfit

Have a lovely time
Don't forget to tell us all about your trip when you get back

I buy all toiletries at airport as well as suntan lotion and mozzie spray etc.
Perfume and aftershave in duty free.
This saves your precious luggage allowance for your clothes and shoes.

except I forgot underwear!

GrandmaKT That's a brilliant summary/list. Cut out and keep!

GN already did some of the work:

Enjoy!

OK, so I would start with shoes -you'll need some comfortable sandals, a pair of walking shoes or trainers for the city, a foldable pair of light slippers and of course your wedding shoes which can double up for evenings out. You don't say what you expect the weather to be like, but I'm assuming hot, so a light jacket, a cardigan and a waterproof. Then I'd say 3 or 4 trousers or skirts and six tops that can be swapped around and quickly rinsed. Shirts that double as light jackets are useful. Two swimsuits for the beach, sunhat, sunglasses. Your wedding outfit of course. A pashmina/wrap is always useful when travelling. Don't take suncreen, towels etc, you can always buy them there. Remember, you can get away with layering a few items when boarding the plane. take a well-stocked kindle instead of books. Enjoy!
