We have yet to plan our honeymoon, but I know we will be way under the average.

We are over, but we enjoy traveling and don't mind spending $$ to do what we want.

Over...we decided to splurge a bit. Due to my being in grad school, we haven't been on a vacation together since 2015 so it was much needed. We are spending a week in january 2020 in the dominican republic at an adults only all inclusive in one of the oceanfront suites. Between that, excursions, flights, spa treatments.....we will probably be around 6k.

Mine might be over. I haven't gone on mine yet and we didn't necessarily set a budget but based on airfare and hotels already I would think we will be over once we calculate all the activities and food

Under by a lot, but we're only planning a mini-moon directly after the reception for 2 nights at a cabin only a few hours from home. I just made the reservation this afternoon and am pretty stoked. But even if and when we plan a longer vacation for just the two of us, I can't see us spending that much.
