5 Steps for Sharing Your Elopement Announcement<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Elopement<\/p>\n

Whether or not you\u2019ve told a select group of <\/span>close friends and family members <\/span>beforehand about your <\/span>elopement wedding,<\/span> sharing an announcement is a lovely way to share your <\/span>big news<\/span> and make it official. Here\u2019s how to approach your elopement announcements.<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Decide When You\u2019ll Tell People<\/b><\/h3>\n

Some couples prefer to tell their <\/span>loved ones<\/span> that they\u2019re eloping ahead of time while others choose to keep it a closely guarded secret until revealing the news with a beautiful <\/span>photo card<\/span> or surprise reception party. Decide when you\u2019d like to share the news, and with whom, so you can <\/span>plan your elopement announcement<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you want to share the news beforehand, you could send a short note to <\/span>loved ones<\/span> to tell them about your exciting plans. After the intimate ceremony, let everyone know with a well-timed social media update, digital elopement announcement, or an <\/span>\u201calready married\u201d reception party invitation<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

2. Get Your Favorite Photos Ready<\/b><\/h3>\n

One of the best ways to share the <\/span>big news<\/span> is with a gorgeous <\/span>photo card<\/span> featuring you and your new spouse. Work with your <\/span>wedding photographer<\/span> or a specialized <\/span>elopement photographer<\/a><\/strong> to get some of your <\/span>wedding photos<\/span> early. That way, you can share a snap of your <\/span>wedding day<\/span> with your <\/span>loved ones <\/span>exactly when you choose. If that\u2019s not possible, book a photoshoot beforehand or commission an illustration of the two of you as <\/span>newlyweds<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Send a Digital Elopement Announcement<\/b><\/h3>\n

4. Share the News on Social Media<\/b><\/h3>\n

While sending elopement announcements to <\/span>close friends<\/span> and other <\/span>loved ones<\/span> is good etiquette, sharing your <\/span>newlywed<\/span> status with a social media update is a fun way to tell others, such as acquaintances and coworkers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Choose some of your favorite elopement photos, then write a few words to share the <\/span>big new<\/span>s. For instance, you might disclose the <\/span>wedding date<\/span> and location, along with some details or funny moments from your <\/span>wedding day<\/span>. This is a lovely way to make others feel like they were there with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Plan a Reception Party<\/b><\/h3>\n

While a reception party is not mandatory, we love the idea of throwing a party at home to celebrate.
