Lu asked:

Future hubby and I are planning the honeymoon. How much do you think is an appropriate amount to spend?

We want to go to mexico to an all inclusive resort. Any suggestions? Anyone heard or been to Secrets Maroma in Riviera Maya or The ROYAL in Playa del Carmen?

Suggestions?

My hubby and spent about 5k…it was for 2 weeks in hawaii…but we did not spend it like crazy…we ate out at one nice restaurant. the tickets themselves were 2k. So it depends how much you can afford.

You spend what you can afford. We are going to California for 9 days and will be spending about $5k. Look around online for deals on those all-inclusive places, my friend and her husband went to Sandals for their honeymoon for like $1300 for 4 days.

Good luck!

I think it depends where you are going, certain places in mexico are cheaper then others, and all inclusive resorts I would say are definitly worth the extra couple bucks consider your get your meals and most of the time your drinks.
I would say $1000 each is a good amount to spend, and if you end up spending less great, and if you spend more, budget your honeymoon spending money.
Go to 3 or 4 travel agents, and price compare.

What you spend should be what you can afford. My husband and I spent a total of about $3K on our honeymoon, because that’s what we saved. My brother-in-law spent about $20K because that’s what he could afford.
