    Under- we're doing a week at Disney World in Florida. Flight + hotel was 1700, tickets we're 800, spending money and food we have budgeted brings us to about $4000 in total.

    What do you mean by all out, Brandi? Where are you going, what are you doing?

    Over, but we're planning on two weeks in Australia for about $7k with flights, and if our honeymoon fund goes well we'd be at or just under the $4.5k average.

    Over. We wanted to splurge on our honeymoon! My parents are actually paying for it and booked everything, so I couldn't tell you how much it is.

    We haven't even talked about a honeymoon. That will have to be next year.

    $0! My parents are paying for a small trip to a cabin since we won’t have time to get away for a longer trip this year.

    Our honeymoon is being gifted to us by my FH’s parents.
    our budget was 7-8k
    We are going to be at Sandals Grenada, which is about 5.7k for the stay, all inclusive.
    We then have to pay for plane tickets closer to the time.

    Way under—we’ll probably spend less than $1000 on our honeymoon. It’s a driveable location, we’re not renting a car, we’re going during the off season for our destination, we’re staying at a modest but cute B&B, and we’re only going for 3 nights.

    We haven’t planned out honeymoon yet. However we do know we will be going to a resort in Los Cabos. We just don’t know when. We are thinking about going 6-8 months after the wedding. We will most likely have to wait until the summer, so we can send our daughter with family for the time we are gone. But we are looking at 5,500 total

    Lol, but Italy is worth it, at least in my book. Where did you go for your honeymoon?

    We aren't going on our honeymoon right after the wedding because it's tax season and I'm a tax accountant, so we don't really know the cost yet, but we are hoping to stay under $4,000

    We actually have a timeshare on the beach that we will be going to instead of having an actual honeymoon. We will take a 3-day Tortuga fishing charter Smiley heart
