My FUN Tip: Get yourself a rug dance floor and have FUN with music! It brings such a better experience from all that work you put into bringing your dream elopement together
Communicate with the family in time about the travel plans and your expectations;
day. Book a tour guide in advance and allow your fam- ily to know more about your destination of choice and see why you may have settled on the specific place. Allow some free time for everyone; Not only do you need some alone time with your partner to internalize your elopement, but you also want to give room to your family members to explore the destination on their own and create relatable memories. You want the experience of your elopement to be something that your family will talk about for the rest of their lives. Finally, remember to breathe and let things flow. Continuously hanging out with family members while getting to know new ones from your partner’s side can be exhausting. Don’t compare what everyone is doing, instead, allow people to be themselves and trust that they all have the best interests for you during your big day. “Don’t compare what everyone is doing, instead, allow people to be themselves and trust that they all have the best interests for you during your big day”.
this will save you from last-minute inconveniences and disagreements that may spoil your day or dampen your mood. If family members know what is expected of them, they are likely to do their best to ensure that the bride and groom have the best time at their nuptials. Especially, if you are getting married in an area that doesn’t have the best cell service. Avoid high seasons in popular destinations; you want your family to enjoy the getaway and have new experiences. You can maintain intimacy by getting married in low seasons and allow everyone to have a better feel of the destination as the population will be less than normal. Getting married in low seasons will also give you access to places that you can reluctantly enjoy with your family without much interruption. *ahem* I’m talking to you spring break brides! Find out about the weather; Not only is this information necessary for the bride and groom as they prepare their attire for their special day, but it is also important for the guests so that they know what to pack for the elopement. Could you imagine exchanging your vows amongst people who were shaking and shivering because they were unprepared for cold weather? We’ve seen it, it’s not fun for them. With an elopement, your guests’ comfort is as

good as yours. Make sure that your guests have packed well for the weather and the activities that you might all participate in while on your elopement. Do you need ponchos? A large umbrella for the sun? Prepare an itinerary and allocate responsibilities; To avoid unnecessary pressure make sure that all guests know where they should be at specific times, what activities they will be taking part in, and what their contribution will be in making your experiences great. This will make the adventure worthwhile and easy for yourself and the people you love. Consider a guided tour of the destination; this could be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for some of your family members, while it is your day, I am sure you want them to remember the location and associate it with your wedding
