More and more couples are opting to elope. And while elopements are still not as common as traditional weddings, they are taking the wedding industry by storm. Because of this, newlyweds are trading out save-the-dates for elopement announcements. These let your friends and family know that you tied the knot and help you avoid hurt feelings by ensuring they find out from you instead of hearing it from someone else or seeing it online. They’re also great for announcing your post elopement party!

If you’re on the hunt for the perfect announcement, you’re in luck. Etsy has a ton of elopement announcements that you and your loved ones are going to love.

What To Write On Your Elopement Announcements

Before we dive into our favorite announcements on Etsy, let’s talk about what to write on your announcements. They can be as formal or casual as you want. Ideally, they will announce the date of your elopement and where it was located. Beyond that, you have the freedom with wording. You are not–and never will be–obligated to explain why you eloped. However, if you want to provide that context to lessen the chance of someone being offended, go for it.

If you’re unsure what to say, write something that portrays your joy over the decision. If you two are happy, then your loved ones should be as well. Some language that you can include is:

We’re excited to announce the marriage of…
We tied the knot in a private ceremony
Announcing the newlyweds:
We exchanged private vows in a private ceremony
