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...

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 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! Our 7-day Cabo honeymoon is funded by my FFIL. He and his wife are allowing us to use their timeshare there. We have a honeymoon registry too so our guests can gift us with experiences like helicopter rides, windsurfing, and snorkeling! So all we have to pay for our airfare, food and souvenirs. So I estimate it'll be about $1.5-2k out of our pocket, which really isn't bad at all! We are stoked!

    Way under. We'll probably go something within our site within a few hours drive. Luckily Michigan is beautiful and there are tons of places to go

    My FH and I are not planning to honeymoon right after. But if we do plan to at some point, I want to go back to Iceland, where we got engaged. We stayed a week last time, so maybe this time we can stay longer. Definitely should not cost over $4K. I want to say we will be under.

    Under! We are going on a cruise to the Bahamas. Between the cruise, flights, hotel stays before the cruise, excursions, and transportation it cost us about $1600. So once you add in what we will spend while on the honeymoon I don't think it will be more than $****.

    We are at 5k for our honeymoon before food, drink and a few tours. We are spending two weeks in Greece (3 nights in Athens, 5 nights in Santorini, and 4 nights in Crete)! It’s our dream honeymoon and we are staying in some breathtaking hotels. All in all.. not too bad for what we paid!

    Much under that amount. No concrete plans for HM due to COVID.
