The trip after the wedding

Gulf Shores or Hilton Head?

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.

  • Hilton Head has 3 stays that sleep a group of twelve in one place, against 1 in Gulf Shores. If keeping everyone under one roof is the point, that is the difference that matters.
  • The cheapest whole-group house starts at $300 a night in Gulf Shores and $350 in Hilton Head — roughly $50 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in April, May, June, July, September, October. Hilton Head in March, August.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Hilton Head (15 things) than in Gulf Shores (9), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Gulf Shores is in AL, Hilton Head in SC.
