Sometimes <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.togetherweroamphoto.com\/blog\/eloping-with-famliy\/\">your family and friends can be there too<\/a><\/strong>! Eloping has transitioned to a small celebration where the true focus of the day is about you and your partner vs. a big performance that makes you stand in front of 200 people watching you confess your love to each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is a wedding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You probably already know the answer to this one so we will keep it short! Weddings are just a big celebration that is usually in the form of a big reception with dinner and other traditional wedding things.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.togetherweroamphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/echo-lake-elopement-264-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.togetherweroamphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/echo-lake-elopement-264-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.togetherweroamphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/echo-lake-elopement-264-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.togetherweroamphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/echo-lake-elopement-264-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.togetherweroamphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/echo-lake-elopement-264-1536x1025.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.togetherweroamphoto.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/echo-lake-elopement-264.jpg 1798w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n<style>#kt-layout-id_01947a-69 > .kt-row-column-wrap{align-content:start;}:where(#kt-layout-id_01947a-69 > .kt-row-column-wrap) > .wp-block-kadence-column{justify-content:start;}#kt-layout-id_01947a-69 > .kt-row-column-wrap{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);row-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-md, 2rem);padding-top:var( --global-kb-row-default-top, 25px );padding-bottom:var( --global-kb-row-default-bottom, 25px );padding-bottom:0px;grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}#kt-layout-id_01947a-69 > .kt-row-layout-overlay{opacity:0.30;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){#kt-layout-id_01947a-69 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){#kt-layout-id_01947a-69 > .kt-row-column-wrap{grid-template-columns:minmax(0, 1fr);}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-rowlayout alignfull\"><div id=\"kt-layout-id_01947a-69\" class=\"kt-row-layout-inner kt-row-has-bg kt-layout-id_01947a-69 has-kb-palette-1-background-color\"><div class=\"kt-row-column-wrap kt-has-1-columns kt-gutter-default kt-v-gutter-default kt-row-valign-top kt-row-layout-equal kt-tab-layout-inherit kt-m-colapse-left-to-right kt-mobile-layout-row\"><style>.kadence-column_7d38c6-6d > .kt-inside-inner-col{border-top-width:0px;border-right-width:0px;border-bottom-width:0px;border-left-width:0px;}.kadence-column_7d38c6-6d > .kt-inside-inner-col,.kadence-column_7d38c6-6d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{border-top-left-radius:0px;border-top-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-right-radius:0px;border-bottom-left-radius:0px;}.kadence-column_7d38c6-6d > .kt-inside-inner-col{column-gap:var(--global-kb-gap-sm, 1rem);}.kadence-column_7d38c6-6d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}.kadence-column_7d38c6-6d > .kt-inside-inner-col > .aligncenter{width:100%;}.kadence-column_7d38c6-6d > .kt-inside-inner-col:before{opacity:0.3;}.kadence-column_7d38c6-6d{position:relative;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kadence-column_7d38c6-6d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kadence-column_7d38c6-6d > .kt-inside-inner-col{flex-direction:column;}}<\/style>\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-column inner-column-1 kadence-column_7d38c6-6d\"><div class=\"kt-inside-inner-col\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_42d300-c2, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_42d300-c2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_42d300-c2\"]{text-align:center;font-style:normal;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_42d300-c2 mark, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading_42d300-c2[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading_42d300-c2\"] mark{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}<\/style>\n<h2 id=\"kt-adv-heading_42d300-c2\" class=\"kt-adv-heading_42d300-c2 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading has-theme-palette-9-color\" style=\"text-align:center\">The Key Differences Between Elopements and Weddings<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Guest count<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is obvious that elopements are naturally much smaller in guest count than a traditional wedding. Most elopements will not have any guests at all and some will include their closest 20 or less. Weddings tend to have more guests closer to the 80-200 range. When thinking about your guest count a few questions to ask yourself are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Do I see myself celebrating with these people?<\/li><li>Will I regret celebrating without these people?<\/li><li>Do I want to have groomsmen and bridesmaids?<\/li><li>How important is it to have them there with us celebrating our love?<\/li><li>Are we just having them because we feel pressured to, or are they really important in our lives?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Planning Time&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Since big weddings have so many moving parts,planning time for a bigger wedding is much longer than planning an elopement. Weddings can take up to a year or more to plan vs planning an elopement which can be planned in as little as 3 months. We have even had couples plan their elopements in 2 weeks, we know it sounds crazy but it was possible!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Stress<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is no secret that planning any type of event whether an elopement or wedding is a stressful activity-especially when it involves other people<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although they still require a bit of planning, elopements are a little bit different and less stressful from this point of view. When you plan an elopement you only have to worry about you and your partner or maybe a select few. Finding activities and locations can be more flexible and more relaxed. There isn&#8217;t a set timeline like there would be for a bigger wedding because you are living the day on your own time and not the time of your guests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you choose to plan a big wedding you have to take into account what is also convenient for the people that will be attending. Thinking about things like accessibility, food, day of activities and entertainment, details and location that can accommodate them. This can become very stressful and unenjoyable for some people depending on how you feel about it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Venues<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Another difference between weddings and elopements is the setting. When you choose to have a wedding you have to find an established venue that you love and that will accommodate your needs the best. An elopement gives you the flexibility to get married in very untraditional places with epic scenery.

Colorado. The cost of a traditional wedding venue along with the catering to feed a higher guest count is one contrasting difference for bigger weddings and elopements. It is a no-brainer that weddings cost way more than elopements based solely on guest count and location which is something that is significantly lower when you choose to elope.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Values<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our last key difference and in our opinion the most important one is values. What is most important to you? There is no right or wrong answer here. Couples who value community, who value celebrating with a lot of people and like to be the life of the party tend to gravitate towards a bigger wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Couples that don&#8217;t like to be the center of attention who value being authentic to themselves&nbsp; and prefer to spend their time and finances experiencing things intentionally may gravitate towards eloping instead. They may value intimacy and intentionality differently than couples who want to have a bigger wedding.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to go out and celebrate an important day of your life in the most epic way you know then that&#8217;s what you need to do! Whether it is eloping on the coolest place on the planet and creating the most unforgettable day ever or having a wedding celebrated in the most epic way you can celebrate.

If you elope, you might hear that you are selfish because you aren&#8217;t inviting anyone and if you have a wedding you might hear that you are selfish because you aren&#8217;t inviting everyone. If you elope you might cause family drama because you chose to have a wedding day about you and if you have a wedding you&#8217;ll cause family drama because you tried to have a wedding about you and not them. <strong>Either way you cannot satisfy everyone so why not just do what makes you happy and choose what you truly want?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you ask us we can give you a lot of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.togetherweroamphoto.com\/blog\/best-reasons-to-elope\/\">reasons why you should elope instead<\/a><\/strong> but it all comes down to what you value. A few of Together We Roam couples decided that they wanted to elope and still include their nearest and dearest! The best \u201cin the middle\u201d for them was sharing their first half of the day together then meeting up with family and friends after.
