Hi. my daughter is eloping in january. her and her fiance have decided that they do not want a wedding. they would much rather just elope. they dont want the aggrivation of everything that comes with a wedding. im fine with it but i was wondering if its too tacky to maybe have a family and guests gathering like a day later. of course i would provide food and drinks.
thanks
deb
And might I say... I'm SO glad this wasn't a thread ranting about your disappointment in their choice of "wedding". So often people get caught up with the wedding, when in reality, it's the marriage that's the most important thing.
Celebrate for them and I hope they have many happy years together!
Location: Finally made it to Florida and lovin' every minute!

I think it's wonderful of you to think about doing that for them, but (forgive me, I'm not trying to be mean or anything) isn't that kind of why they're eloping, so they don't have to go thru that?
Sounds great, but have you talked to your daughter and future Son-in-law about it? They would probably enjoy it, but may want some imput. I eloped with my husband and wouldn't have had it any other way. I am sure they appreciate your understanding. The world needs more mothers like you.

Great idea, it shows your daughter, future son in law,both families and friends that you approve and love them enough to do something special for their "elopement"
