After one of his sisters eloped with her partner, he sent them a $100 gift card in what he believed to be a nice gesture to celebrate their big day.
“Traditionally, an elopement means it’s a private, personal ceremony between the couple and a gift would not be expected,”However, there are a few factors to consider when deciding whether to get something to acknowledge the occasion, such as how well you know the couple and if they’ve previously given you a gift for your wedding.After all, showing someone you care is always a nice gesture and there are few better ways to convey your love and excitement for the newlyweds’ next chapter.
Often, couples that opt for an elopement have a special reverence for the quiet intimacy of the occasion, so it may be a thoughtful gesture to gift them a sentimental item that represents the day they exchanged “I do”s. Champagne flutes, instant cameras, playful candles… There are a lot of choices, and it sounds like the author of the post picked a relevant one.
