When it’s time to get into the fun part: the elopement planning!! But if you’ve quickly realized the elopement activity part and you weren’t sure what activity made sense to you. If you’ve always dreamt of creating an intentional, emotional day—curated beautifully with just you two in mind—then it’s time to plan an elopement. Planning elopement activities allows you to not only have an incredible time, but also gives you the chance to break up your day and even experience some different scenery for your elopement backdrop. That’s exactly what I’m here for.
The lists of different elopement activity ideas are here to help you get inspired. The activities can be something you both already love doing together or something that you’ve always dreamed of doing and want to try for the first time on your wedding day because, why not!?
I’ve included the elopement timeline guide I offer to help give you a better look at what an elopement with me could look like. But remember, every elopement timeline is fully customizable and designed with you at the top of my mind.
FAQ’s About Pacific Northwest Elopement Activities
How do we plan our day with multiple activities?
I will send over the questionnaire and timeline questionnaire asking you many different types of questions, for example, do you like to hike, do you want to go to new place or place you were familiar with, are you planning on have make-up artist and hairstylist come over, do you want to include your pets? This will help you see what and how many activities you can fit in your elopement day.
How can we narrow down the fun activities?
It depends on how many hours of photography coverage you want, and some activities require a longer time than others. The elopement questionnaire will help with your decisions about the activities and timeline. You can combine a few activities at once and make it “a fun date.”
For example, you and your partner sit down and have campfire and s’mores, then dance under the stars and stargaze.
OR
You and your partner hop on the helicopter and fly over to the location with water that allows you to do the stand-up paddle board, swim in the water and have a picnic at last. There are so many ways to make your elopement a fun and unique experience!
How do I include my family and friends in my elopement activity?
YES, you can! You can include relaxing and fun activities with your family and friends. Then other part of the day you and your honey go off to the adventurous activity for intimate time together.
