5 Major Benefits of Eloping

The Blog

This blog post is for you if you’ve never considered eloping, and it certainly is for you if you have considered eloping. Either way, there are major benefits to eloping and this blog post will cover five of them. 

Benefit Number One: Eloping Is Empowering 

There is something distinctly empowering about the freedom to choose. The freedom to plan the day you and your partner want and the freedom to decide on every detail, from who is invited, what you do, and every detail of the day. 

Eloping empowers you to step away from people-pleasing and perfectionism and to be boundless when it comes to expectations, traditions, and obligations. 

In the end, eloping empowers you to have the day of YOUR dreams.

Benefit Number Two: Eloping Reflects Your Relationship 

Eloping allows for you to have a day that reflects the people that you are and the love that you hold for one another. It also allows for you to pursue the kinds of adventures you both love, whether that’s traveling, hiking, horseback riding, or a quiet cabin in the woods. You get to design the day of your dreams. 

Benefit Number Three: Eloping Can Be A Vacation

Imagine your dream vacation. Now imagining turning that dream vacation into the elopement day of your dreams. 

Vacations are intended to be stress-free, worry-free, uncomplicated, easy-going, and with good food. They are full of amazing experiences, usually with people you love and enjoy being around. 

Your elopement can be all of those things as well, if you allow it to be. Your elopement can be a vacation too, a worry-free, uncomplicated day with good food and good company.

Benefit Number Four: Budget Bonus 

Eloping allows for you to save on some MAJOR costs that come with traditional wedding days. It allows you to reallocate funds from obligation expenses to areas that you value and hold close. It can save you money and allow you to have extraordinary experiences with your partner and the person you love. 

Benefit Number Five: Time Well-spent  

One thing you may not have thought of is that an elopement allows for you to have uninterrupted, intentional and quality time with your partner. With that, you can also have a full meal together (and even dessert!). You can reallocate finances, but you can also reallocate your time, ensuring that it is well-spent.
