The trip after the wedding

Des Moines or Detroit?

Both work for a group after the wedding. Here is what actually separates them, from our own rows rather than from a template.

The trip you take with your friends right after the wedding — instead of the honeymoon, or before it.

  • The cheapest whole-group house starts at $400 a night in Detroit and $510 in Des Moines — roughly $110 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in the same months — May, June, July, August, September, October.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Detroit (13 things) than in Des Moines (6), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Des Moines is in IA, Detroit in MI.
