Wedding switching

I'm not sure exactly what you mean by wedding plans. Do you mean venue location, date or elopement versus traditional?

It ultimately is your day, and communicating that with family can make it easier for them to understand what you want.

Have you sent out save the dates? If not, communicate new plans to invitees. STDs may make this more uncomfortable

We didn’t do this but I guess I’d want to know what they aren’t happy about. Did you send out save the dates? Had people made travel/hotel reservations? How much are you changing?

View Quoted Comment We had everything planned out where we were gonna do a traditional wedding but the financial portion was starting to cause alot of conflict and my fiance and I talked and talked and talk about what we were gonna do. We have now changed our wedding to Dec 27th of this year and are getting married in Viva LAS Vegas. Are we wrong to have changed it

View Quoted Comment Nothing had been made or anything. We were gonna be doing save the days now in December.

View Quoted Comment No, nobody had any information yet to be doing reservations for the hotel. Save the dates were gonna be made in December and sent out in January. We have changed were we are going to Vegas,NV to get married. It's a whole lot cheaper and with a low income job its easier

I think it is fine, just communicate with your family on what your wants are and why you are doing what you are. If you are happy with your decision, ultimately everyone else should be as well.

Are you from Las Vegas? Is your family in Las Vegas? Are you inviting your family? I can see how your family may be upset if they're expected to travel and wasn't aware or had enough notice to plan. However, if this is not the case, then I'd let them be mad and continue with your plans. My cousin sent STDs and winded up having to move her wedding 6 months out. It was a little of an inconvenience because we planned for getting her wedding out the way in August but she just sent out additional STDs and is expected to wed in January.

I hope it all works out.

It's your wedding, your marriage, and your money! They need to deal with it. If this is what you want and the way you want it, just explain that to them and I'm sure they'll understand. And let them know, no one else is going to foot the bill and this is what you can afford. It's the start of your life as husband and wife and anyone that loves you should be understanding and happy about it.
