A friend of mine just got married last week... SECRETLY! And now they are wanting to announce this. What are some unique and creative ways to do it?

And also, could they still plan a "wedding" for the fall? Kind of like a renewal of their vows but so that loved ones can be present, share in their joy? How would they go about doing this?

That's tough. I don't really know of any unique ways to announce a marriage beside the normal just sending announcement cards.

I don't know if it would be appropriate to hold another wedding in the fall to renew there vows since they just got married. But I think having a reception for everyone would be really nice. People do that all the time when they elope or have destination weddings.

Maybe they could invite people over to their house on the pretense that it's a dinner party and then announce the good news.

I think a vow renewal would be acceptable. One of teh members here had a gorgeous renewal. She used to have a journal on this site, but I couldn't find. Here is a link to another one of her journals though...

I like the dinner idea for close family and friends. Then they can spread the word. There's not a problem with getting married again later and having a reception and everything. FH's cousin got married in Vegas and ***e back and had a reception 2 months later. They didn't do the wedding part but showed pics of their wedding in Vegas on a slide show. When they send out the invites, they could say it's a vow renewal from their wedding on such and such date or something like that.

I'm not sure about the creativity part of this question, um it's either going to go one way or the other no matter how they tell their families... I'm not sure if I would want to be a fly on that wall!!!!

I think that them doing a second wedding would be great and would make up for them eloping, so that may actually help whoever's feathers get ruffled when they drop the ball!!!! Usually people do it around the first anniversary, but hey, I would do it anytime. I don't stand by traditions all that much!!!!
