Small wedding announcement

You can mail out marriage announcements with a photo from your wedding afterwards

View Quoted Comment That's a good idea. I feel like I need to explain why they were not invited somehow on the invite too. Putting "we eloped" would be an explanation. I'm not sure what to say on the announcement.

I wouldn't go out of your way to explain why someone wasn't invited, it just doesn't come across well. If you don't want to say that you eloped, you could say "Caitlin and ____ were married on _____ in an intimate ceremony" or something like that.

View Quoted Comment I like that a lot!

Several of my Facebook friends have posted their wedding website info on Facebook and say things like "If you haven't sent in your RSVP yet please do!" I'm not invited to their wedding(s) and don't feel upset about it, even if they are larger events.

It sounds like you're worried about how to tell people about your upcoming wedding if they aren't invited. I'm planning a dw for the sole purpose of not inviting most of my family (17 cousins and + spouses who expect invitations, most of whom I see once every 2 years and am not close with at all) and when they ask or say things like "Oh wow a destination wedding - I'll have to start saving now!" I simply brush it off or I mention that it is immediate family and best friends only. They are usually quiet after that once they realize they've just invited themselves. We announced our engagement on Facebook and for those asking for a date (who we likely won't invite) we just say we haven't picked one yet (which is 100% true).

Idk, maybe I missed the mark on trying to understand what you were asking for exactly. I like Amber's idea a lot!
