So, if you are planning to elope any time soon, we are here to help.

Must-Know Elopement Planning Tips 

  • Consider Your Location

If you wish to make it more special, look for a place that holds meaning for you and your partner. For instance, you can select a place where he proposed to you or a location that has been on your bucket list for a long time. 

Now, if you want a season-specific wedding, research well. You don't want to sweat in the desert for a summer wedding or get cold in the mountains. Plan everything by researching a location that fits you the best. 

  • What About Guest List?

As you are eloping- in an adventure, you won't be inviting a lot of guests. However, if you still want the presence of your close ones, give every guest some role to perform. For instance, you can ask your best friend to be officiant or your sister can be your stylist, and your other friends can be coordinators. In this way, you will be having intimate people around you without needing special vendors for chores. 

  • Think About Travel and Accommodation 

If you are planning for a destination wedding, research well about the transport facilities. Is your location close to the airport? Can your guests drive and visit? Furthermore, if you are planning for an international location, book your flights beforehand especially 4-6 months before your big day. 

Aside from flights and other travel facilities, accommodation is also important. You don't want any end moment chaos on your wedding day. Book a hotel for your pre and post-elopement stay if you want to make it romantic. 

  • Find and Finalize Your Vendors

Look for a wedding videographer who has prior experience in elopement weddings. When looking for the best videographer, go through their website, gallery, and scroll through their Instagram page. This will help you in making an informed decision that will match your vision. 

Furthermore, hire a wedding planner if you are looking for a foreign destination. This will save your time in making arrangements on alien land. A wedding planner will get you the best so that you can sit back and enjoy your wedding. 

  • Plan Your Gorgeous Wedding Outfits

To be honest, elopement can be a good excuse to buy the wedding dress of your dreams- even if it costs a little more. Go for the best gown by saving some chunks in advance. Your entire outfit should make you look beautiful as well as comfortable. 

Select a groom outfit that matches your gown to look perfect on the day. 




Elopement weddings are difficult yet adventure. With so many things to do, you can create a checklist and ask your close ones to help you in making it a success. Aside from the above points, make sure that you talk to your lawyer and get your marriage registered to avoid any nuisance.
