Or maybe e-mail back a picture of a vase or a toaster.

I like your idea to email back a picture of a vase! No seriously, I have heard of couples sending announcements by email. Now, yes it does seem a little tacky but some may consider that hip with the techno world we live in. If they had a surprise elopement it could have been a finance issue. They may not have had a lot of money for a wedding, which would make sense if the didn't pay a lot of money for announcements. If they are more than just acquaintances, I would do the "proper" thing and send a congrats card and a gift. Just because they may have been tacky doesn't mean you should be!

Well, it depends on how close friends they are.
It is incredibly tacky that they did not send wedding announcements, or a letter, in the mail. If they are distant or not-close friends, then by all means email back your congratulations - and nothing else.
However, if you are related, or close friends, and you will value their friendship going forward, it would be nice to send them something small.
This assumes that they listed their address to which to send gifts in the tacky email. If you do not have their address, I'd say you're off the hook.
Technically you could send an online gift certificate, but if they didn't even send their address, my thought would be, "Why bother? They didn't."

It's your friend, right? Get them a gift! I still think that the e-mail picture idea is good though. You could always send the email, making them think that was all they were getting, and then really send the gift later.

Elopements, and Wedding Announcements do not go together!
It has already been held and over with.
And by email, invitations after the fact to receive gifts?
Do email them back, with "BEST WISHES!" and you "CONGRATULATIONS"!

I'd email em' back, asking if they're registered anywhere. If it was done on the fly with no one in attendance, I would'nt take offence. They probably just don't want to have to be repeatedly telling the same story to all their friends/fam for the next few months...So one mass emailing helps take care of that!

That's a new one. I think it is entirely optional. At least they announced it...I know someone who eloped, and they were married for several years before they thought to mention it to anybody.

No. Surprise them with a gift of emoticons on e-mail. That'll do the trick.
