The trip after the wedding

Gulf Shores or Key West?

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.

  • Key West has 2 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 $500 in Key West — roughly $200 a night between them, before anyone has eaten.
  • Both are at their best in April. Gulf Shores also holds up in May, June, July, September, October, and Key West in January, February, March, November, December.
  • We carry noticeably more to do in Key West (15 things) than in Gulf Shores (9), which matters most for the middle day when the group splits up.
  • Gulf Shores is in AL, Key West in FL.
