How many guests can we invite to our elopement?
It's not about the number; it's about the heart and the intention behind it. We've had true elopements with sixteen guests, and we've had zero guests at an elopement, and it hasn't felt right.
The magic of an elopement isn't defined by the size of the guest list but by the depth of the connection and the meaning behind each moment shared.
Basically, we don't do ‘tiny weddings’, micro-weddings, or budget weddings.
We don't want to try and squeeze a wedding into an elopement package. Instead, we create simple and significant elopements. Our focus is on crafting experiences that are authentic and intimate, allowing you to celebrate your love in a way that feels true to who you are as a couple.
Josh likes to say that you should only invite people to your elopement who you'd invite into your birthing suite as you give birth to your child. Your elopement isn't a public spectacle for all to see; it's an intimate moment that deserves to be witnessed but only by those people with whom you share your life.
Your favourite and most important people who know and celebrate you. These are the ones who truly understand your journey and the significance of your commitment.
There's no room for obligation guests at an elopement. This is your day, and it should be shared with those who matter most, free from the pressures of societal expectations or familial obligations. The beauty of an elopement lies in its purity and authenticity, untainted by the need to please everyone else.
Your obligation guests can find out on social media when you share a photo. Let the world see your joy through your eyes, on your terms. Share the moments that matter to you, with the people who were meant to be there, and let everyone else experience the magic from afar. This way, you preserve the sanctity of your elopement while still sharing the happiness of your union with a broader audience.
