And if I do send out cards what should they say on them? And should I still expect gifts?

Check out wordings for announcements here:

Click on wedding, then click on announcements.
While close family and friends may send gifts, it is not expected. An announcement implies no gift obligation.

Send out a wedding announcement to all. Just giving them the facts. a few people that are close to you might send a gift or two but I wouldnt expect them. You may not get anything.
If you hold a party "wedding celebration" at your home as part of the announcement, then you may get the gifts.

No, absolutely not! That would be called fishing for presents. If you elope you do not expect gifts nor send out announcement cards. I would just have your family spread the word that you were married as they speak with your relatives.

Your immediate families should be told in person or on the phone. For extended family members and friends, you can certainly send out wedding announcements, as they are called! It is expected that you would. You should still register for gifts prior to sending these out. Although you can not tell people in the announcement that you are registered at..., what you can do is include a card stating your "wedding site." Set up a wedding site, theknot.com has free sites available, and put on the wedding site where you are registered.

You should send out an announcement - they should say something like "Bride's name and Groom's name are honoured to announce that they were married on Date of Wedding at Location of Ceremony". Don't expect gifts...if they happen, they happen. If you wanted gifts you should have a reception.

No, you never expect gifts! as far as sending out cards, you can send out "Wedding Announcements".

No one should ever EXPECT gifts. It will be in order to send cards as a means of informing people of your marriage, but mention you had no reception. If people send any gifts, it will be their decision and you should accept it that way.

i wouldn't expect gifts but it would be nice if your parents, [or you], sent out a small announcement.
example:
our daughter chrissie and robert were married
this past saturday, september 15th, 2007.
they had a small private ceremony in their home
and left for a brief honeymoon immediately after.
please join us in wishing them well in their new life.
----------
you could include a photo of the two of you on your wedding day.

some people will probably send gifts and you should
promptly send thank you cards! if you didn't include a wedding photo with the announcement, you should send it with the thank you cards.
wishing you a wonderful life together!

You should never expect gifts, particularly if you don't invite people to your wedding. I would not send out cards announcing that you eloped. That would look like a ploy to get gifts. (Which may be your intent, but please don't do that!)

No. You shouldn't send out cards. Your parents could send announcements (Mr. and Mrs. Smith are please to announce the marriage of their daughter Jane to Mr. John Jones... etc.). Do not expect gifts.
