Hottest Alternative to a Big Wedding
The wedding industry is changing whether it likes it or not! A growing number of couples are turning their backs on the traditional big wedding in favor of eloping! It is very quickly becoming the hottest alternative to a big wedding. I have outlined many of the reasons why in my latest book BIG Weddings SUCK! and my findings were really interesting. Let me share a few of them with you now!
Eloping Takes Less Planning
So, it turns out that one of the main reasons why eloping is the hottest alternative to a big wedding is that wedding planning is not actually fun! In fact, let me take that back – planning a BIG wedding is not fun! You see, as soon as you announce your engagement every single person you know is going start dishing out ‘helpful’ advice! Everybody has an opinion and no matter how hard you try you will never please them all with your wedding plans! Add to that the stress, the time and of course the money and I am actually surprised even more couples haven’t eloped!
Small wedding elopement packages are much more manageable in terms of planning. If fact, the wedding planning has already been done for you. Many couples find that by downsizing their big day they can recapture some of the excitement that can be buried when the plans are overwhelming. Arranging your wedding should be one of the happiest times of your life, but somewhere along the way, it has become one of the most stressful!
Another great reason to choose elopement is the money saving aspect. With a traditional wedding now carrying an average price tag of over $25,000 fewer couples are willing to spend that amount on a single day! All inclusive elopements average $2500 meaning you could save around 90% by choosing to elope!
