An elopement is usually an intimate affair with a shorter ceremony; however, there are no strict rules, so do what you want.

Request more ceremonies, and make a trip of it. Plan some activities, and invite a few extra individuals if you desire.

An elopement typically includes five to ten individuals. In other words, those who are necessary and wanted at the ceremony.
