Should you elope? Five common misconceptions about elopements:
1. You have to go to an epic destination. While we’re totally on-board for adventure elopements, you certainly don’t need to have a plane ticket to elope in a totally awesome way. Some of our favorite elopements happened in backyards and living rooms! Pro tip: Consider an Airbnb for your elopement.

2. Family and friends will be upset. They might. But, it’s okay. Your family and friends love you. It’s only natural they want to be a part of the most important day of your lives. However, if they’re truly thinking of the two of you, and your wishes are for it to be just the two of you…then they should understand. Plus, you can still have an amazing party to celebrate with everyone afterward!

3. You’ll regret not having a traditional wedding. Out of all the real elopement submissions we’ve read and received—and it’s a lot—couples always say they’re happy they chose to elope and couldn’t have imagined it any other way.
4. It’s not as special as a big wedding. Trust us, there’s nothing more special than spending an entire day with the person you love and are promising the rest of your life to. We actually think elopements can be even more special than a traditional wedding day (but we love both!).
5. All of your costs will be less. Elopements do generally cost less than a traditional wedding. Mainly because you’re saving on venue costs, rentals, and food. However, if you’re hiring a photographer to spend the entire day—or weekend—with the two of you, those costs might be comparable to hiring them for a traditional day. The pro here is that you can choose where you want to invest your money and splurge on the things most important to you!
