Celebrate Your Elopement With Shutterfly

An elopement is a wonderful option for people who don't feel like the traditional wedding route is the right fit for them. Eloping offers a special sense of intimacy for you and your partner. When you elope, you have the flexibility to get married right in your own backyard with your closest friends and family or to travel to a faraway destination halfway around the world with just your partner. Now that you've said "I do" in an intimate ceremony, you'll want to let everyone in on the big news with personalized elopement announcements. With Shutterfly, you can send a beautiful recap of your big day, plus information about any postnuptial celebration you're having to loved ones who couldn't attend your private wedding ceremony.

Share the Happy News With Elopement Announcements

Elopement announcements are the perfect way to share the happy news with friends and family members who couldn't attend your wedding day. After the intimate wedding ceremony, you can send a custom photo card to loved ones to let them know you've tied the knot. The difference between wedding invitations and wedding or elopement announcement cards is that invitations are sent before the event, and announcements should be sent afterward. These announcement cards allow you still to have a piece of that traditional wedding experience, and your recipients will be excited to hang a card with a stunning photo of when you eloped. If any of your loved ones send a wedding gift after your elopement ceremony, share your gratitude with a custom thank you card.

How to Make “We Eloped” Announcement Cards

Creating custom elopement announcements is simple with Shutterfly. Your wedding announcement cards should be as special as your relationship with your partner. To get started, choose an announcement card design that suits you and your new husband or wife and your new life together. With unique announcement types like tri-fold, flat, and folded, you can design one-of-a-kind Just Married cards that are stylish and unique. Personalize your marriage announcements with a personal message, a favorite wedding photo, and elegant colors. Options like rounded corners or bracket cut trim are the perfect way to make your elopement card stand out, even before adding the finishing touches like envelope colors, liners, and return address labels . “We eloped” cards let you tell people that you just got married and a special way to announce your upcoming marital bliss. Whether you showcase one special photo or a number of photos from the big day, your recipients will smile as they open your wedding card and see pictures from your wedding ceremony.

Document Your Big Day in a Wedding Photo Book & More Keepsakes

With Shutterfly, you can capture your most precious memories from your wedding day with custom keepsakes and photo albums that you can treasure forever. After sending your elopement announcements, use your wedding photos and transform them into a piece of home decor, wall art, or a photo book. Whether you design a beautiful glass photo print, a monogrammed piece of wall art, or stemless wine glasses that say "happily ever after," you can create unique personalized gifts and keepsakes with pictures from your elopement ceremony. One of the most classic wedding keepsakes is a photo album that displays your ceremony and reception highlights. Go one step further and design your own wedding photo book. Carefully choose your favorite photos from the big day — from pictures with the officiant to snapshots of city hall or your destination wedding location — and stylishly showcase them alongside elegant embellishments and custom captions for a keepsake you'll enjoy forever. With personalized wedding keepsakes like these, you can relive your most precious wedding day memories over and over again.
