We're eloping

My BF and I plan to elope while on our vacation in June. We're both in our early 50's and both were married before. I'm divorced and he's a widower. With the exception of my two children (who gave their okey-dokey) we have not told anyone. I'm new to this site and I haven't found much info about eloping. I have a couple of questions... 

Do you think we have to tell close family beforehand? I thought we'd tell our parents after we got back and I also was planning on sending out annoucements with "celebration to follow".

and...

We plan on having the BBQ/celebration party sometime this summer for our family and friends. Is it wrong if we have a cake, decorations/theme for the party? Obviously we don't expect any gifts but I've read some posts that if you elope there is no reception. 

Feedback is welcome! Smile
