My fiancé and I are planning on eloping next fall and having a small intimate brunch with 20 family members after. Any tips or advice about planning and logistics. I have people flying in from out of town so still want it to feel meaningful and like a celebration and not just brunch. But also my fiancé and I are both introverts (hence the elopement) so we don't want all the bells and whistles of a traditional reception.
We're planning on renting a private room at a restaurant for our three course brunch and having candles, and flowers, maybe a playlist. But any ideas on how to make it feel more special? Also not sure if we should plan something for after or maybe the night before?
