telling best friend of change in plans

My fiancee found an amazing elopement package. When we first got engaged we wanted a private ceremony but when I fell in love with a dress I couldn't get into myself, I wanted my best friend to be there to help. She's been very excited and supportive and I'm worried how to tell her. I dont want her to feel left out but she's still going to my fittings. What should I do?

    If your friend knows about you getting married then you really aren't truly eloping.

    Just tell your friend that you and your FI have decided to have a private ceremony without any guests but that you truly appreciate and love her for all that she has done for you.

    Amazingly there are some people that are supportive and happy to help and don't expect anything in return, even an invite to a wedding.

    While friends and family naturally get excited about being part of the wedding and helping you plan, etc, most friends will be happy for you no matter how you decide to get married. I know some of my family members would be hurt if I decided to cancel my wedding and elope, but that's just part of the deal. Maybe compromise and have a small, casual get together a few weeks after you elope to celebrate with friends and family. Then people will still have the chance to feel like they are celebrating with you, but you still get your small, private ceremony.
