Did you invite immediate family (parents, siblings) to your elopement? My partner and I want a true elopement- just us and a few friends. 5-6 people including us. It’s clear our (out of town) families want to come. It’d be 14 people total with hotel/transport needs. It’s turning into a lot. We wanted intimate and then to throw a casual party later. Now it’s feeling like two events.

I think these days people confuse elopement and miniwedding. Elopements are secretly slipping off to get married. Maybe inviting another couple or 2. Family and friends get told after the fact (typically) Once you tell your family when its happening and that you are inviting some people, you are not eloping.... you are having a micro or mini wedding.

came to say the same. the misuse of eloping these days is crazy to me haha. you can have a microwedding that doesn’t make it an elopement

That’s not eloping. That’s a simple wedding.
