We had no honeymoon (it was okay, really!), because we chose to host our guests to a wonderful wedding, and we just wanted to finally move in together as husband and wife. If you two can't afford to pay for it yourselves, either scale down your idea or delay the honeymoon and take a vacation later. These days the couple pays for their honeymoon, as well as the wedding.

Though our families helped us out with some money without us asking them too. My husband and myself paid for our wedding as well as for our honeymoon.

But in this day and age, with so many couples covering costs themselves, there is no clear-cut line.

However, more and more couples are paying for their own wedding. I know my mom has already started saving for my wedding and and engagement is at least another year to 18 months away. We figured that if my mom, my dad, and then me and my husband come up with $5000 each, we will have 15,000 for a wedding and then my husband and I will decide on a honeymoon as a couple.

You are lucky to have a father that can do so much. The only way my husband and I had a honeymoon at all was because of cash gifts at our wedding. We added up what we received and decided to go to the coast for a few days. Otherwise we wouldn't of had a honeymoon at all.

We went to the Poconos less than 2,000, but that was 10 years ago. No the groom is supposed to pay for the honeymoon.

That is what we are doing because both of our parents are helping with the actual wedding. I’d say you and your fiance should pay for it.

Sandals is a great deal. Especialy if you go to Sandals Inn in Jamaica. It's a much cheaper resort because it doesn't have fancy rooms and as many amenities as the other resorts how ever there is a near by resort Sandal's Montego bay resort and you get into there for free and they drive you there free. So you're basicly paying a cheaper price but getting all of the same things as Sandals Montego bay people. The fact is though it may seem alittle expensive I found the cheapest package at Sandals Inn was $2775.68 but that's including airfare food drinks and entertainment so in the end i think that's worth it. Oh and tips and gratuity would be included as well so you need literaly no money unless you intend on going shopping or something. Usualy the couple pays for the honeymoon. Sandals is a great deal.

My fiance and I are going to California. We are budgeting $5000 for the 10-day trip to cover everything, including airfare, car rental and all other expenses. The best way to handle the honeymoon budget is the same way youhandle the wedding budget - you create a budget and go where you can afford to go. My best friend went to Sandal's St. Lucia for 6 days for about $2000 and had a blast. Maybe look into that. Good luck!
