The trip after the wedding

Gulf Shores or Hot Springs?

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 $300 a night in Gulf Shores and $500 in Hot Springs — roughly $200 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in April, May, September, October. Gulf Shores also holds up in June, July, and Hot Springs in March, November.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Gulf Shores (9 things) than in Hot Springs (6), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Gulf Shores is in AL, Hot Springs in AR.
