The trip after the wedding

Fort Lauderdale or Gulfport?

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.

  • Fort Lauderdale has 3 stays that sleep a group of twelve in one place, against 1 in Gulfport. If keeping everyone under one roof is the point, that is the difference that matters.
  • The cheapest whole-group house starts at $350 a night in Fort Lauderdale and $600 in Gulfport — roughly $250 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in March, April, May, October, November. Fort Lauderdale also holds up in January, February, December, and Gulfport in September.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Fort Lauderdale (17 things) than in Gulfport (6), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Fort Lauderdale is in FL, Gulfport in MS.
