How to Plan a Bowling Alley Elopement in Chicago: A Step-by-Step Guide
Planning a bowling alley elopement in Chicago can be easy. First you need to choose a bowling alley that fits your style- some offer private lanes or even spaces, others allow you to rent out the whole space. Next you want to book your date and confirm things like bringing in a photographer and your officiant. Plan your outfits to match the fun vibe, and consider being creative and doing custom bowling shirts or accessories ( those would make for some great photos)! You then want to decide on a small guest list, or no guests at all, and check if the venue allows outside food and drinks.
