Small weddings, elopements & courthouse: Elopements
Just the two of you (and maybe a few people) somewhere meaningful. Plan permits, witnesses, a photographer and how you will tell family.
The key points
- Check marriage license rules and witnesses
- Permits for parks and beaches
- A photographer for an hour or two
- Tell close family kindly
Telling family about an elopement
Call key people before posting, and share photos together soon after.
Elopement then reception
Many couples elope and host a relaxed party months later.
