    When you elope, do you still put on a small party for the family? We've been thinking about it, just wondering what others' experiences were.

    • there are no 'rules'- do what you want and appreciate.madirish
    • We plan to, but it's turning into another type of fiasco, so we might kill it. That, or break it into two small things, a large "dinner" type gathering for family, and then just a regular party for friends.harlequino
    • whatever the dynamics are, its important the marriage is witnessed by the families in some way even after the fact and small.

    • depends... if the families are great and supportive, then let them in on it, otherwise, fuck em.Point5
    • they are supportive, but half is in the US, the other half in Europe and never the twain shall meet.GreedoLives
