I am planning an elopement. I will just be me, my fiance and his parents. Would like to do something special afterwards but don't really wanna cook at home lol. If you're doing something special after, what are you doing? I thought about getting catering and decorating my dining room up all pretty with lots of candles etc. But when I check catering, most have a 10 person minimum or something like that. I was thinking maybe we should wait to do the reception (I have family in another state and could involve them with that). But I still wanna do something after our ceremony. Any ideas?

For Four people you could get nice take out, or go to a very nice restaurant afterwards.

I'm getting married at a restaurant (50 people). I literally am the anti-bride and intend on having everyone sitting at two long tables. I will walk down the middle get married, wam bam, dinner time and call it a day. I mean mingling will ensue but not a normal reception.
Maybe check if there is a restaurant near you with a private dining area. Decorate the tables with some flowers and candles and have an intimate dinner?

Hi Grace! What about hiring a private chef who does in-home parties??
Although I agree with Gina & Mrs. A - I'd try to find a nice restaurant with a private table!! That would be really nice and low stress!

I'm basically doing this now. The count will be 15 or 16 max. There is a nice Italian restaurant that offers per person rates on "receptions". It's the best thing honestly. Maybe splurge on a way nicer restaurant than you would normally consider for dinner.
