Traditional Wedding Checklist vs. Elopement Checklist
The butterflies in your stomach are dancing, your mind is swimming in thoughts of how to begin planning your special day. The Internet is replete with traditional wedding checklists, beginning by checking off tasks 12 months in advance. You and your fiancé are planning a quicker union; in fact you are planning to elope. The traditional wedding list doesn’t fit your plans and the task of crossing off unnecessary “to dos” seems too tedious. Yet you don’t want to miss any important planning details that are conducive to eloping. Legal documents, an officiant, even a choosing a place to elope are all part of eloping as well as a traditional wedding. What you need is our WhereToElope elopement checklist that will provide you with all the needed details to help your elopement plans run smoothly.
Traditional Checklist
As stated above the traditional wedding checklist contains months of preparation that the eloping couple may omit. With many lists containing over one hundred tasks to check off over a twelve-month period you may begin to wonder how you can figure out what are the important wedding details and which ones you may forgo completely. You know a budget is necessary, but you can do without invitations, a honeymoon or what we call a minimoon is in order but reception and table arrangements are not needed. Saying, “I don’t” to the traditional “to do” wedding list is possible because there is an ultimate elopement checklist with less than fourteen items to do.
Elopement Checklist
Here at WhereToElope.com we know the need for a checklist, one of our staff had an engagement ring on her finger as she headed to her Tahoe wedding, stopping off to pick up grandma and great-grandma’s wedding band not even knowing if it would fit. When she and her fiancé were picking out his wedding band they had forgotten hers. It all worked out; the band fit perfectly. They have been happily married over 22 years now. Yet, we are sure you don’t want to go through this unnecessary dilemma or others. Our Ultimate Elopement Checklist is there to help you not miss a beat for your elopement wedding.
