How much did you spend total on your honeymoon?

About to be Mrs. Nic, on October 14, 2013 at 10:03 PM Posted in Honeymoon 3 52

My FH and I are disagreeing on the cost of our honeymoon. We both would like to go to Aruba and are looking to go 8-10 days in January/Feb 2015. We are looking at all-inclusive resorts because we both like to indulge while on vaca. It looks like for about 9 days in January it will be like $6500 for both of us, flight included. He thinks this is way too much to spend.

What did you all spend for your honeymoon? Is $6500 really ridiculous??

    I dont think its alot we only spent $4000 for acruise to the Caribbean and 4 nights in new orleans but we only did that because we went for a bigger wedding which meant a lot.more money so it depends on how much ur spending on the wedsing and what you can afford

    Everything we've considered is between $5,000 and $6,000.

    We plan to go on a 7 night cruise to Mexico! We want to splurge and get a suite- we went on a cruise this past March and loved it, but would've liked a better room!

    Total cost is about $2500. We will have free flights with our Southwest Rewards.

    I think Mexico is the most affordable. So I've heard. I would LOVE to go to Bora Bora but unfortunately 12k was way out of our budget. We are having a destination wedding so it will all cost around $5,000

    We spent probably $600, went to Maine for a week, someone gifted us accommodations. it wasn't our first choice, but we're kinda broke right now and were just happy to have some time to get away by ourselves.

    We spent under 6k for 9 days in Ireland. We had an amazing time. I don’t think 6,500k is out of budget.

    We spent about $4,800 in Kauai for 11 days. The food is what was really expensive and about $2,100 of that was towards our condo rental, but well worth it. We just got back and it was the best time.

    We're going to California for 10 days. I expect to spend between 4-6k when all is said and done.

    We've booked flights and hotel for Maui for about $4,000 so it will probably be $6500 when all is said and done. It really is all about what you can afford and what is important to you both.

    Ours is on the cheaper end. We are going to Charleston, SC for 4 nights. The hotel is $1700 (very nice boutique hotel). Let's say with food, gas to drive their, site-seeing, it will probably be around $3000.

    We went are going to Hawaii for ten days on MasterCard points. It paid for both our flights and our room for entire stay except for $300. I don't even know how much it cost. Haven't discussed our budget for when we are there but I'm guessing around $2000. We aren't doing a trip like this again (in the forseeable future) so we want to make it worth it.

    Great, I am happy to let FH know that $6500 isn't ridiculous. We should be able to afford it, it's just getting him in the right mindset. I would LOVE to go to Hawaii or Bora Bora, but I could never get FH on a plane from Boston for that long of a flight. We need to build up to that, since he hates flying.

    Thanks for the great input ladies!

    We are going to Playa del Carmen, Meixco for 10 days and the hotel is all inclusive and we will be spending less than $3,000 including the flights. We wanted to go to Aruba but we just bought a house and spending anymore than $3,000 was not an option right now. Plus, Mexico was a lot cheaper and we've been there before and really liked it!
