Elopement announcements - no registry

Nothing about gifts should ever be mentioned on announcements even if you don't want any.

I think you are fine just to send a nice card out announcing your elopement. I wouldn’t worry. Don’t put anything about not wanting gifts. I think People will be happy to see your card and you thinking about sharing the news with them.

I wouldn't reference gifts on the announcement. If someone wants to get you a gift they will but I am guessing most won't since they aren't invited to a ceremony/reception.

Thank you all - I thought that it was OK but FMIL had me worried because I didn't state "No registry/No Gifts".

I agree with everyone else, congrats on the elopement dear! (My dream wedding haha)

I don't think people will be confused, they may send cash or check in cards but some will understand you are just announcing!

I think it’s fine not to say anything about gifts. Of people want to send something they will I wouldn’t worry about it.

I wouldn't even bother with the note. My first wedding was just us, parents, siblings and one friend each. We sent out an announcement that we had gotten married and no one asked about a registry. Heck no one even sent a congrats card lol

We are in the same situation but been together almost 6, people have asked us about gifts, but we didn't put anything in the invitations, which were really just for fun since everyone has said they are coming.

I think it's fine to announce it if you want to.
