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

    We went over that. Our rental car, flights, and Disney Aulani hotel package was about $3,000.00 plus another $250.00 for two nights at a separate hotel to explore a different part of the island! Once we were there, I'd say we spent about 1 - 1.5k. $450 of that being to a rental car salesmen who fast talked me into getting insurance I didn't need. 🙃🙃 But all together, it was wonderful and well worth what we spent!

    We spent probably about $1000 all together. We drove 6 hours to fort walton beach Florida and spent 3 nights there. We basically hung out the whole day on the beach and would go to dinner at night and find something to do after dinner. We would've liked to stay longer but we have a 3 year old that we didn't want to leave for a week

    We'll be under, that's for sure. We have 3 kids and one is in school so the most we can get away with is a local weekend trip somewhere in our state. We probably won't spend more than 500 including gas food and a hotel for 2 nights.

    We were probably only a little over!! I had been stocking up on air miles for awhile and got almost all of our flights covered, which was awesome. But then since we saved money on flights we splurged big on really nice hotel suites!! 🏖️
