Eloped wedding announcement wording.

Why elope?

Well, many people don't feel bound by traditions, and in some cases families don't get along or financial situations don't permit the celebration. For some people eloping can be the ultimate commitment to one another - a statement that their union is more important to them than being burdened by customs perhaps not be appropriate to their circumstances. But for whatever the reason, eloping can be romantic and certainly a huge money saver.

 

Why announce your elopement?

Eloped wedding announcements not only let your friends and family know that you are newly wed, but also allow people to share (in a little way) a major event in your life. Some people may be a little stunned after receiving the announcement, but sending a personalized card can significantly reduce the amount of hurt feelings by
1) letting them know that they have been a part of the happy couple's thoughts, and
2) sharing the couple's future plans.

 

Eloped announcement or Wedding announcement?

An eloped announcement is often preferred to a wedding announcement as the eloped wedding announcement wording is usually interpreted as a "no-commitment" and "no-gift-giving-obligation".

If there are going to be any celebrations you can fit them into your eloped wedding announcement wording and if you need to allay any suspicions that some people may have been invited you can mention that only the couple (and their children) and the officiate were present at the ceremony.

A nice touch is to include a romantic wedding phrase at the beginning or end of your eloped wedding announcement wording:

•We fell in love and caught each other.
•Our hearts are each others homes and gardens, and we pay no rent.
•There is nothing that we can do, achieve or buy that will outshine the peace, joy, and happiness of being in communion with each other.
•We cured each other with our love and in it we glimpse eternity.
•We are each of us fallen angels with only one wing, but when we embrace we fly.
•We weren't looking to live with each other and found we couldn't live without each other.
