Hey all! For the last few months I've been planning and envisioning a much more traditional wedding, still under 50 guests but really formal and all. I've realized recently that an elopement followed by a mailed wedding announcement (family's scattered) would fit our needs, desires, and wallet much better than that traditional wedding.
Problem is, now I have no idea where to start! No idea on venue, or after-celebration, or pretty much any other portion of planning. Advice would be immensely appreciated!
So far, I know this: Photographer is definitely super important to me in this new instance. We still might bring a couple of people each, but that's so much easier to plan for than 30-40. Cake can be much less elaborate. Stationary choices also become extra critical.
