Over or Under: 4k Honeymoon?

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

    Under. Free week at a beach condo that belongs to family. We will probably spend $1,500 on activities and food.

    Over! We're planning to spend about $5K to go to Atlantis in the Bahamas, and we think it's well worth spending 5 days there for that amount! We both know we won't be able to go on many extravagant trips like that... ever, really. So why not splurge on a big vacay with the love of your life? Though, we're also trying our best to keep the wedding under $1500, dress and everything except rings included, so we'll have to see how much everything will ACTUALLY cost when all is said and done 😆

    Ooh, I like that idea. How far are you in your wedding planning so far? How close are you the "said and done" part?

    We have our date set in April 2019, our wedding party picked out, the colors/general theme, what we want the groomsmen to wear (just have to go and actually get their outfits!), and we're almost ready to send out invitations to guests! The funniest part, however, is while we have all of this planned out, I still need my actual engagement ring 😆 My man wants the perfect ring for me, and is trying to find it for under $1K, and I'm supporting that decision. As soon as I have my ring, we'll be sending out invitations and officially announcing our engagement. He promised he'd have it by the end of the month haha!

    We actually haven’t planned ours yet! Based on my BIL’s which was more expensive than I was expecting I think we could end up being above that average.

    Under. We won't be taking our honeymoon for a bit, but we priced it out so we can save for it. We're looking at around 2K

    Based on what we plan to do probably over. The flights alone will most likely be 2k alone. But it’s an excuse to splurge a little 😁

    Yes, I think a honeymoon is one of the best reasons to splurge! Smiley smile Where do you plan on going, Heather?

    Under. We're staying through Christmas then renting an AirBnB cabin in the mountains for a few days for a minimoon. We're planning to go on a longer trip next year but considering this to be our proper honeymoon.
