How to Create One-of-a-Kind Elopement Announcements
Choosing to elope instead of having a big traditional wedding probably means you won’t have any need for formal invitations! However, that doesn’t mean you can’t indulge in some cute wedding stationery. Once you have returned from your bridal adventure and are officially hitched you can definitely make traditional paper products such as elopement announcements part of your untraditional matrimony!
Finding elopement announcements isn’t always as easy as searching for the more traditional wedding invitations or thank you cards. With innovative companies like Basic Invite, couples can take almost any invitation template and create the perfect custom elopement announcement in minutes. Whether you want to use a photo or a theme, creating an announcement is easy using a predesigned template. For example, nautical wedding invites are great for beach or cruise elopements. Alternatively, you may opt for a photo wedding announcement. Whatever your style, as shown below, the options are endless and elopement announcements can be created in a matter of minutes. If you don’t have a wedding website, just add the link to your Facebook page in that space so that your friends and family can see your wedding photo album.
Step One: Choose a Look
Do you already have a specific look in mind? A theme that relates to your wedding? As shown in the set up image above, we mentioned choosing a nautical look for beach weddings, but you could also use a favorite photograph or something to remind you of the location. There are plenty of different colors and styles to choose from for your elopement announcements.
Step Two: Browse The Options
If you don’t already have a theme in mind for your elopement announcements then why not spend some time browsing? Looking at the different templates may spark an idea. Even if you do already have a theme, browsing that category will help to refine the idea! You can sort templates by color or style to narrow it down to a short list.
