In 2017, couples spent an average of $4,000 on their honeymoon (10 percent of their total budget!). Are you splurging or saving on your honeymoon? Are you over or under $4,000? (We don’t need specifics if you’re not comfortable sharing them, just let us know if you’re over or under!) Another...

Another honeymoon fun fact: Couples spent on average seven to nine days on their honeymoons! Nine days of rest and relaxation is well worth the cost. Smiley smile

    Definitely under. We got extremely lucky. We have a friend that offered us their moutain cabin for our honeymoon as our wedding gift. We just have to pay the travel and whatever else we want to do and eat. I'd say we will probably spend about 5 to 6 hundred.

    We haven't planned ours yet because of finances but I am hoping way under $4,000. We never paid that much for any vacation.

    Under, we’re thankful enough to have had a 2 week honeymoon to Hawaii gifted to us. All we have to pay for is the plane tickets.

    I'm so hoping to be under 4k! His parents are allowing us to use their time share for next year, so I don't have to pay for hotel. Just airfare and food... but you KNOW how expensive those things can be 😅! We will find out!! Booking on October first...which means we need to finalize our decision 😫!

    We've been planning for about 5 months? Only because we've been going back and forth on places, dates, length, and price... etc. My dream vacation is to Europe- so we're going through a tour company, and we'll be gone about a month! We're also working on getting a vacation planned to DisneyWorld (we went this past summer but were only there for 3 days before we went to do other Florida sightseeing, so it felt kind of rushed.)
