Couples that Honeymoon with Friends. It’s More Common Than You Think


Do you think it’s strange when couples ask their friends to honeymoon with them?

OK Fairies, we’re veering into awkward land here and won’t hold back. Did you know this is becoming a thing: couples are inviting their friend/s along to their honeymoons, and it’s a lot more common than you think. It got us thinking: WHY OH WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! So we’ve decided to break it down into all the plausible reasons this could be happening to clear things up a little. Here’s what we’ve discovered:

  • The honeymoon may be an extended trip whereby the couple are meeting with friends along the way (that doesn’t sound to bad.)
  • It could be a smart cost-cutting strategy with accommodation (we’re wondering how tight-knit this group really is!)
  • Perhaps it’s a destination wedding where the couple honeymoon on location (OK, now that makes sense.)
  • One of the newlyweds (or perhaps both) will miss their friend/s a little too much ( …no comment)
  • The honeymoon is really the wedding after party, and the couple wants all your close buddies there to continue the celebration, (we get it!)

So, there we have it Fairies, if you’re considering an entourage for your Honeymoon, at least try and put your partner first (and definitely check in with them before you let slip your group honeymoon idea on Whatsapp!
