3 Pros of Eloping with Just the Two of You

Congratulations on your decision to get married!! And even bigger kudos for thinking about running away to elope just the two of you. Eloping with just the couple used to be frowned upon, but that couldn’t be any further from the modern day reality that couple-only elopements are the dreamiest. Do you need the final push to elope just you and your lover? Let me provide three reasons for you!

Reason No. 1 — Cut the Drama

Let’s be honest with ourselves for a second, weddings are DRAMATIC. Large family gatherings are always interesting, but then you add lots of alcohol and high emotions, and boom! Drama. You run the risk of inviting people who don’t like being in the same room, or offending someone by “choosing someone else” to invite. Sound familiar? Large weddings just aren’t about you anymore, they’re about your guests! We don’t want this for you.

Reason No. 2 — Save some Money!

Everyone’s favorite reason, eloping together saves so many unnecessary expenses. When you have a large guest count or any guests for that matter, you will be spending money to entertain them. When you elope just the two of you, you can redirect your budget to the elements that actually matter to you! For example, you can save money and put it towards the perfect dress, your favorite photographer, gorgeous flowers, or the most epic venue!

Reason No. 3 — Focus on the Love

Without any distractions, you and your beloved can focus entirely on your relationship, your story, and your new life together. You can spend the entire day caring for one another and have a beautiful start to the rest of your lives together.
