Eloping and post reception... Is it proper etiquette?
My fiance and I have decided to elope (not really secret) in October. We have decided to do this based on our finances and the fact that planning the BIG wedding was making us crazy! We actually had the whole thing (the big wedding) planned but it was turning in to our parents event and we realized it wasn't at all what we wanted and was going to cost us a fortune to boot! So we've decided to take a weddingmoon and get married, just the two of us.
We would like to celebrate with our family and friends as soon as possible and plan to have a reception as soon as we return (we get would get back on a thurs. and have the party on sat. night).
My questions are, 1) is it appropriate to send out invitations announcing the wedding date and inviting people to the reception that will happen 10 days later? They will have to mailed 6 weeks before in order to get the RSVPs before we leave. 2) Is it tacky to register? I don't really expect gifts but I know some people will get us something.
