The anticipation of a big family trip is one of the best feelings. Looking forward to time together, no matter how loud and chaotic it can get! Maybe it’s an annual lake trip or an escape to a new beach town. No matter what it is, planning and prepping is half the fun!
Now that you’ve booked the hotel it’s time to plan your packing list. As you prepare to head out on a big family trip there are a few things to keep in mind.
Two swimsuits per person
Cover-ups and easy throw on layers
Sun hat or baseball cap
Wet bags for the beach and pool
Water shoes or sandals
Coordinating outfits for family photos
Packing for your entire family can feel overwhelming. To make it an easier experience start with our checklist. Start with one family member at a time and help them pack the essentials in their bag. Older kids may be a bit more opinionated so be sure to involve them in the process!
You also want to consider whether you are flying or driving. If you are hopping on a flight and need to fit everything in a carry on then you want to make sure you are packing items that can do double duty.
If it’s a road trip your bags can be extra roomy and you can pack a few extra items to help pass the time in the car.
Whether you want to surprise your family or have them help pick them out, matching family swimsuits are always a good idea. Our Sand Bar Blue is classic Americana vibes that the whole family looks good in!
Q: Where should I start when looking for a swimsuit for family vacation?
A: You’ll want to prioritize swimsuits that are built for movement, are more full coverage, and that are comfortable. You don’t have time to constantly readjust your swimsuit when you’re chasing kids. Look for a suit that makes you look and feel good!
Q: I have a teenage daughter and a preschool age son. What swimsuits would work for family matching?
A:Our top pick for your teenage daughter would have to be the Ruched Crop Top in Sand Bar Blue with the Classic Hipster Bottoms in the same pattern. This is a fresh style that has more coverage on top with fun ruching details on the sides.
For your son, you can’t go wrong with our Mini Rash Guard and Shorts Set in Sand Bar Blue. This provides full sun protection so you don’t have to worry about reapplying sunscreen every hour.
Q: What swimsuit should I pick for my family vacation that is more full coverage?
A:Our best selling combo that you’re sure to love is our Bella Tankini in Berry Stripe paired with our High-Waisted Swim Skirt in Berry Stripe. This combo has repeat buyers! The Bella Tankini has ruffle straps and is quick drying. The High Waisted Swim Skirt has a flattering silhouette that skims the body plus built in bottoms. The perfect suit to build a sand castle, take a swim, and play all day with your family.
Q: How many swimsuits should I pack for family vacation?
A:At least two swimsuits per person if possible! But if you will be traveling for an entire week then we encourage you to add in a rash guard, in case of sunburn and long days in the sun. A solid plan would include a one-piece, tank and high waisted swim skirt, bikini bottoms and a rash guard.
Family trips are an incredible opportunity to make memories and soak in time with your loved ones. Family matching and proper packing will keep things streamlined and stress free.
