An eloped party

 An eloped party is likely a celebration of a couple who have eloped and gotten married in a private ceremony, as opposed to a traditional wedding.

For an eloped party, it's best to check with the couple or the host to get a sense of the dress code. Depending on the location and theme of the party, it could be anything from casual to semi-formal.

If the eloped party is held in a casual setting, such as at a backyard BBQ, you may want to wear something comfortable like a sundress or shorts and a t-shirt. If it's held in a more formal setting, such as a restaurant or event space, then semi-formal or cocktail attire may be more appropriate.

Regardless of the dress code, it's important to be comfortable and to keep in mind that it's a celebration of the couple's love and commitment.

An eloped party is typically a celebration that is held to commemorate a couple's decision to elope. Eloping refers to a couple getting married in a private ceremony, rather than having a traditional wedding. The couple may choose to elope for a variety of reasons, such as wanting a more intimate and personal experience, or for practical reasons such as planning difficulties or financial constraints.

An eloped party is usually held after the wedding, and it is an opportunity for the couple to celebrate with friends and family who were not present at the ceremony. The party can be held in a variety of locations, such as at a restaurant, a backyard, a park or even at home, and can be as simple or as elaborate as the couple desires.

The practice of eloping, or getting married in a private ceremony without a formal wedding, has been around for centuries. People have been eloping for various reasons, such as for love, for practicality, or for financial reasons.

It's difficult to pinpoint who "started" the tradition of eloping, as it has likely been happening in various cultures and societies throughout history. However, the phrase "to elope" has been used in the English language since the 16th century, and it's believed to have originated from the Dutch word "loopen" which means "to run away." So, one could say that the practice of eloping started as far back as people have been running away to get married.

In the past, eloping was often seen as a scandalous or shameful act, but today it has become a more accepted and common alternative to the traditional wedding.

Many famous people throughout history have eloped, choosing to keep their weddings private and intimate. Here are a few examples:

• Elvis Presley and Priscilla Beaulieu eloped in 1967, getting married in Las Vegas in a ceremony that was kept a secret from the public for several months.

• Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner eloped in 1951, getting married in a small ceremony in Philadelphia.

• Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell eloped in 2011, getting married in a private ceremony in London.

• Greta Garbo and John Gilbert eloped in 1926, getting married in a secret ceremony in Mexico.

• Natalie Wood and Richard Gregson eloped in 1969, getting married in a secret ceremony in Santa Barbara.

• John Lennon and Yoko Ono eloped in 1969, getting married in Gibraltar.

These are just a few examples, as many famous people often choose to keep the details of their wedding private.

"Eloping" and "secret wedding" can be similar in the sense that both refer to getting married without a traditional wedding ceremony, but there are some subtle differences between the two.

Eloping typically refers to a couple getting married in secret and often without the knowledge or consent of their families. It is often associated with running away and getting married quickly, in a private ceremony, usually away from the couple's hometown. The couple may choose to elope for a variety of reasons such as wanting a more intimate and personal experience, or for practical reasons such as planning difficulties or financial constraints.

A secret wedding, on the other hand, is a wedding where the couple chooses to keep the details of their wedding private, often not announcing it to the public until after the ceremony has taken place. It can be held in a private location, with only close friends and family members in attendance. The couple may choose to keep it secret for personal reasons, such as wanting to avoid media attention or to protect their privacy.

In short, eloping is a type of secret wedding, but not all secret weddings are necessarily elopements.

Whether an eloped wedding or a secret wedding is a legal wedding depends on the laws and regulations of the country or state where the ceremony takes place.

In most countries and states, a legal wedding requires the couple to obtain a marriage license and have the ceremony performed by a authorized official, such as a judge, minister, or other designated person. If a couple elopes or has a secret wedding without obtaining a marriage license or having the ceremony performed by an authorized official, their marriage may not be considered legally binding.

It's important for the couple to check and understand the laws and regulations in their country or state, and to make sure that their marriage is legal before planning an eloped or secret wedding.

It's also worth noting that some countries or states may have different laws and regulations for marriages performed outside of the country or state, so if the couple plan to elope abroad they should be aware of the legal requirements of the destination country too.
