Elopement Baby Announcement card help

Bells on Bride, on January 19, 2013 at 9:25 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 13

So fiance and I have been engaged for 2 years and family knows that we were going to start planning here in the next few months for a wedding at the end of this year.. well after a long drought of infertillity we are pregnant and we just want to elope! We are thinking of taking a small 3 day trip and getting marring on Valentines day and then going on a mini-moon/baby-moon in a couple months when it gets warmer.

We would like to announce it with a card in the mail both announce that we got marriend and that we are expecting. I have tried to find a good place to create a card but I'm having little luck..

I would like the card to be light hearted and funny but get the point across. I was thinking something like 'You are NOT invited to our wedding... because we eloped!" I think it is adorable. My first attempt on vistaprint (attached) I feel like its kinda cute but maybe too cheesy.. I didn't feel like there was alot of options.

Anyone have any other sites or advice to make a card?

    Oh yes Annie, folks and siblings included. They will get the card a couple days before everyone else but this is how we will be telling them!

    I think it's really cute! Honestly, though, I'd tell your parents personally rather than just sending them this card.

    These are adorable, and I agree with Ella. Give it to them in person. It'll mean a lot.

    Love it! but I do agree, tell your parents and FH's too, even if you just hand them the card.
