Elopement announcement wording

FutureMrsS, on September 27, 2018 at 11:21 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 3
My fiancé and I will be eloping in a few weeks. Our daughter will be with us, as well as our parents and siblings. We want to send elopement announcements to those that were going to be invited originally to our wedding ( we briefly started planning). Those people are our closest friends that we’ve known for 10+ years.

I need help with the wording. I have found some basic ones saying “in a private ceremony with family”, but I want to distinguish our daughter from family. Emphasize that it was us 3, and our family, if that makes sense. We would have loved to have our best friends in attendance, but unfortunately the original wedding wasn’t possible, so we want them to know / feel special although they did not witness us tying the knot.

    I probably wouldn't put "eloping" in the announcement, but would say intimate wedding.

    The private ceremony example you provided sounds good. It's a very minor detail, separating your daughter from your guests that would be in attendance.Smiley heart

    Hi FutureMrsS! I like the wording you have, "in a private ceremony with immediate family" may be a little bit better, that way they know that it's a very small and intimate ceremony!
