How to Word Elopement Announcements
So you…hopped a plane to the tropics, sneaked down to the courthouse, did a drive-through in Vegas, got a passport to Paris? How romantic! We love a secret elopement, but it doesn’t mean you want to keep your marriage a secret!
If you’re not having a big celebration, announcing good news with an elopement announcement is a must. Getting a wedding announcement in their mailbox will be the best part of your loved one’s day!
Still want a big celebration? Invite family and friends to a post-wedding bash! Invite them in a creative way by choosing a reception-only invitation that matches the style of the party you’re planning. You can even have fun by carrying through the theme or atmosphere of the place you were married.
