looking to elope and have party 6 months after, ideally keeping it a surprise until the party
I know this is very unconventional but we have always been private people even with our families as we both have complicated relationships however we do tell people big news as we like to keep face with everyone. we got engaged on holiday, we both knew we’re doing it and announced to family and everyone once home. However our wedding is booked for october and we would really like to have a more outdoorsy chill reception and sorta need good weather to do that. also i’m hoping to get pregnant this year and would like to actually party properly. how can we make sure people actually come and know this is an important thing without telling people we got married? what do we tell vendors this is? has anyone done anything like this before?
