Choosing Elopement

Planning a wedding can be pretty stressful. That is why a growing number of couples are choosing elopement over the more traditional big white wedding that is expected of them. However, it is not an easy decision to make and many couples are struggling with the question of whether you should elope or not.

Let’s take a look at some of the advantages of choosing elopement to help make the decision a little easier.

1 – Choosing Elopement Will Save You Money

One of the best reasons for choosing elopement is that it will save you money. A traditional wedding carries an average price tag of around $25,000. In comparison, an all-inclusive elopement package is around $2,500. That’s a 90% saving! What would you do with that extra money? Put it towards a house? Start a college fund for your children? Have a dream vacation?

2 – Choosing Elopement Means Having It Your Way

Weddings tend to bring out the worst in families! It often seems like everyone has an opinion about your wedding and nobody seems to care what you think even although it is your day! Eloping means getting to have your wedding your way! Eloping means getting to escape from the family politics and planning your own ceremony exactly the way you want it!

3 – Elopement is a Romantic Adventure

Finally, another great reason for choosing to elope is that it offers the opportunity for a romantic adventure. What could be more exciting than heading off to a great destination with your partner and sharing a special day together. Eloping is something you will always remember and it is a great story to tell the grandkids when they come along!

These are our top 3 reasons for choosing elopement. What are yours?
