The Best Elopement Announcement Ideas for Adventurous Couples
Your elopement was pure magic—just the two of you, an epic location, and a love story for the ages. Maybe you said “I do” by the crystal-clear waters of Lac Montriond, surrounded by the stunning French Alps. Maybe you exchanged vows on a snow-covered mountaintop, just the two of you and the sky. However it happened, it was intimate, unforgettable, and completely you.
Now comes the fun part—sharing the big news! Whether you want to surprise your loved ones, make a splash on social media, or send a keepsake they’ll treasure forever, there are plenty of creative ways to announce your elopement in style. Here’s how to make it just as exciting as the day itself!
1. Make It Personal with a Thoughtful Announcement
For the people who mean the most to you, a personalised announcement is a beautiful way to share your excitement.
Bespoke Announcement Cards – Think luxury stationery with elegant calligraphy, a stunning photo, and a simple yet chic message like “We said yes to forever!”
Handwritten Letters – A heartfelt note on gorgeous paper, sharing a glimpse into your day, makes it all the more meaningful.
A Keepsake Box – Send a beautifully curated box with a few small mementos—polaroids from the day, pressed flowers from your bouquet, or even a candle inspired by your wedding location.
A little extra effort goes a long way in making loved ones feel part of your story.
2. Announce It with an Epic Photo or Video
A picture is worth a thousand words, but the right photo? That’s worth even more.
The Perfect Elopement Portrait – Whether it’s a windswept kiss on a mountaintop or a celebratory champagne toast under the stars, choose a jaw-dropping image that captures the magic.
A Cinematic Video Reveal – A beautifully edited video—complete with drone shots, your vows, and breathtaking landscapes—lets you relive the moment and share it in style.
A Social Media Reveal – Want to make it fun? Do a countdown leading up to the big news, or post a “before & after” of your journey as a couple to your wedding day.
Make it bold, beautiful, and unmistakably you.
3. Throw a Post-Elopement Celebration
Just because you eloped doesn’t mean you have to skip the party. If you’re craving a celebration, why not gather your nearest and dearest for something unforgettable?
An Intimate Dinner Party – Invite friends and family for a dinner or backyard party and drop the news mid-toast.
Destination Celebration – Turn it into a fun weekend getaway or adventure with your closest people.
A Themed Celebration – Play into your elopement location. A candlelit alpine feast? A relaxed yet refined après-ski gathering? Make it a night to remember.
Your love story deserves a celebration—on your terms.
4. Make Loved Ones Feel Included
Even if they weren’t there, you can still make them feel part of the magic.
A Virtual Champagne Toast – Hop on a video call, pop some bubbly, and relive the moment with your favourite people.
Bespoke Photo Gifts – Frame a breathtaking wedding portrait or create a coffee-table album they’ll treasure forever.
A Future Adventure Together – Invite your loved ones on a belated trip to your elopement destination to experience its beauty firsthand.
After all, elopements are about love—and love is meant to be shared.
An Unforgettable Elopement Deserves an Unforgettable Announcement
Whether you go big with a cinematic reveal, keep it intimate with handwritten notes, or throw a surprise party, the best elopement announcement is the one that feels totally YOU.
And if your heart is set on a wedding that’s as wild and breathtaking as your love story—think dramatic mountain peaks, turquoise alpine lakes, and an adventure-filled escape—then the French Alps are calling. We’re here to turn that dream into reality, one epic moment at a time.
