It sort of depends on how you want to do it....
Do not elope. Eloping means that you don't tell anyone that you are getting married but just go off and do it, and then afterwards you call people and say "hey, we just got married, aren't you happy for us?" A lot of people will feel excluded from the happy event that way.
What you can do is tell people in advance that you are going to have a small wedding on location, with just your husband (and perhaps your parents) and then have a big reception later, if you wish to. All the difference lays in letting people know in advance that you ARE thinking of them also on your big day, that even when you enter this new life, they will still be important to you.
Gretna Green is a historical option and completely equiped to do weddings, for a very low price if you just get the basic: we want to get married deal.

If you want to do that small wedding on location, since you are in Great Brittain, Gretna Green is a historical option and completely equiped to do weddings, for a very low price if you just get the basic: we want to get married deal.

I do wonder though, why you would want to have the party the same night but not invite people to the ceremony?
