How to Add Personal Touches to Your Elopement?

Making the decision to elope does not mean that you cannot make it a personal and memorable event. You and your fiancé can do countless things to make your elopement a special time in your life. You do not have to be stuck with a generic ceremony at the local courthouse or city hall when so many other options are possible.

Adding Personal Touches to Your Elopement

You want your elopement to be a special day. Regardless of where you hold your ceremony, it will be, but you can make it extra special by doing things that will differentiate your ceremony from everyone else. Here are some suggestions for making your elopement a more personal experience.

• Consider eloping at a location that is significant in you and your fiancé’s relationship. Hold the ceremony at the location of the proposal, the site of your first date, or other significant moments in the relationship.
• Choose a destination elopement to a small romantic inn or bed and breakfast in a city where you and your fiancé have dreamed of going together. Not only will it be your elopement but also you will be fulfilling your dream together.
• Write your own vows – This is a common personal touch done by many couples getting married.
• Personal photos – Create a collage of photos of you and your fiancé through the years, have it hanging at your reception if you are having a small gathering after the elopement.
• Get custom sneakers with bride and groom on them. You can also opt to have the date or other small message placed on them if that is your preference. You can also get custom decals for dress shoes as well.
• Purchase a unity candle for your ceremony or personalized glasses or wedding favors
• Purchase cuff links with your wedding date on them for the groom to wear on your special day.
• Have a custom blue label made with your name and elopement date stitched inside your dress. It provides something blue and that special touch.
