How to pack for two in one suitcase... it is possible! #AtlanticLuggage

I am excited to tell you all about Atlantic Luggage‘s new vacation sweepstakes to Orlando, but first I wanted to give my tips for sharing a suitcase with your spouse.

One suitcase packing tips

Believe it or not, sharing one suitcase between 2 people is actually possible. Here are some tips to help you pack for your next vacation together.

Divide equally

Although you may be tempted to say that you need more space in the suitcase for all of your toiletries, you need to consider the fact that men’s clothes tend to be bulkier. Divide the space equally before you pack.

Combine shoes

Shoes tend to take up a good amount of space in a suitcase. Try to only pack 2 pairs for each of you – one you wear and one in the suitcase. When you pack the shoes in the suitcase, put your shoes inside of his. If they don’t fit, reconsider your shoe choice. Do you really need the 4″ heels?

Don’t repeat

Go through your toiletries and make sure you haven’t brought 2 of anything. You can share toothpaste, sunscreen, hairspray and even a hairbrush. Plus, if you are a same-sex couple, you may even be able to share clothes – BONUS!

Use hotel toiletries

Don’t pack anything that your hotel will provide for you. No need to bring your special shampoo or hair dryer. Call the hotel ahead of time and see what items they can provide.

Utilize carry-ons

Remember that some items can be added to your carry-on luggage. You can even bring a larger purse and pack some extras in there!

Invest in luggage

A well-made, lightweight suitcase can go a long way. Atlantic Luggage has an awesome collection to choose from. You will be amazed at how much you can fit into one piece of Atlantic Luggage. They have thought of everything.

Keep all of these tips in mind and you will be able to pack for two people in one suitcase. Do you have any packing tips to add?

  1. I'm a terrible packer and really need your tips. Two shoes...is that possible? haha. I need choices! Ok, I gotta give it a try! Great sweepstake!

  2. I am so bad about over packing! Not necessarily the clothes, but the toiletries! I will pack 2, sometimes 3, of everything! That's way too much, you're right! Thanks for the tips!

  4. I love to take along bath salts, shampoos, conditioners, body washes, lotions, toothpastes - did you notice how I pluralized everything? One of the kids got me small containers to label and put some into to try and break me of the habit. That is a great suggestion to call the hotel to get an idea of what they offer. I would suggest not packing clothing that doesn't fit. Very few of us are going to lose a size or two during a week or less of vacation.

  5. A few summers ago I packed one huge suitcase for myself, husband and our 3 MO old. It was so hard to fit it all in. Each kid had their own little suit case! I am the worst packer!

  6. I always wind up overpacking for vacation. Sharing a suitcase with my husband still winds up with too many clothes, too!

  10. I'm not adverse to sharing suitcase space. In fact, I do that with my youngest sometimes, if we're going on a short trip.

  11. We travel back and forth to grandma and grandpa's all of the time. We always ending packing WAY more than we actually used. Such great tips for packing lighter!

  13. It is possible! My husband and I always share the same suitcase when we travel. Great tips!

  14. My hubby and I can usually fit in one suitcase. We have gotten good at minimizing so we aren't taking a bulging suitcase!!

  18. Great tips on sharing a suitcase. We've done this to keep the cost of baggage fees down, although usually it was pairing a younger child with one of us.

  19. I just bought airline tickets today, and had to pay $40 for each checked bag. Ouch! We will have to be creative about packing. I like the idea of packing my shoes inside his.
