Las Vegas Wedding help!!?

My fiance and I are going to Vegas for my 21st birthday. We were also thinking about getting married while we were there...We have a group going with us to vegas, and want it to be a surprise for all. I was wondering what the proper etiquette would be? I mean, should be give everyone wedding favors? How would we go about with this? thanks ahead of time :)

Update:

My fiance wants to get married by elvis, and its going to be a blast. We have found one that is includes the limo for the day, and does hair and make-up, to make sure that no one is going to know whats going on till we get to the chapel. whatelse MUST we do, i know a dinner party/small reception But whatelse?

    How about this idea? Rent a huge party limo and tell your friends you're going to party on the Strip for a few hours. They'll love that idea! Then have the driver (as pre arranged by you) drive to the drive thru wedding chapel, where you'll swap your I do's and surprise everyone!! Then continue with your Strip cruising until you end up at some prearranged reception spot.

    We did this when we got married 3 years ago and it was a BLAST!!

    See this website http://www.aspecialmemory.com/

    PS Be sure to get your marriage license in advance

    Edit: Elvis is good. There are several chapels that have Elvises. I would book your reception place ahead of time. We had a private room at Sir Galahad's (now a different restaraunt) in the Excalibur. See if they can make you a wedding cake. If not, check out http://www.freedsbakery.com/ and have them deliver a cake to your reception place.

    You don't need any favors but be sure to have someone taking pics of everything that happens.

    Mazel tov and have fun!!

    You can still have a las vegas wedding and have a reception with family. There is a trend that is becoming very popular with couples...having the wedding on a night during the week, say Thursday or Friday...and then have a reception on another night, say a Friday or a Saturday. That way he can have his small ceremony with your close fmaily and friends, and he won't have to be the center of attention...and you can still have a huge party afterwards to celebrate with everyone!! If you are going to do that, make sure you word the invitations properly...there is a certain etiquette about writing invitations to the party because after the day of the wedding it is no longer called a reception, but the party honoring you and your new husband. Talk to him about it...he might change his mind. It is all about compromse.

    Well congratulations first off! I think that would be so much fun. I personally don't think that you need to give wedding favours when you elope in vegas. I think you do however have to pay for the dinner the night of. We were planning on doing it in Vegas, I actually had everything planned and I had just reserved a private room in a fancy restaurant and had like a mini reception.

    Check out this website, their are a little pricey but I really wanted to do this.

    Good luck with all the planning and once again congratulations.
