Attire: Semi-Formal. Kids are welcome to wear Halloween costumes! Adults-please do not wear all black or dark green(moss/olive green).
We will be having a romantic, Halloween themed reception with a trick-or-treat table for the kids, so feel free to let them wear their costumes (we do suggest bringing a spare set of clothes or even pajamas in case they get uncomfortable).
There will be both indoor and outdoor spaces and activities, so please don't forget your coats! There is a fire pit outside as well as heaters on the patio to help keep everyone warm while they enjoy the evening. We will have some yard games set up such as cornhole and ring toss (weather permitting). So bring whatever you may need to stay warm, including shoes you don't mind wearing in the yard!

About The Wedding
We have chosen to have a small ceremony on Halloween evening with immediate family only. The ceremony will be semi-formal. No need for a tux or evening gown, but please do not wear jeans and a tshirt.
We will also have a professional photographer there, so please keep her in mind and do NOT use flash photography or get in the way of her photos.
We ask that no one take any photos during the ceremony itself to avoid any interference with the photographer. We promise, you'll have plenty of opportunity for your own photos before and after the ceremony and we will share photos from the photographer once we have them, as well.
Children are also welcome to wear their Halloween costumes if you'd like!
About the Reception
The reception will begin with a cocktail hour from 4-5pm. The wedding party will make their entrance at about 5:15. The reception is from 5-10pm.
You can absolutely wear white, but please avoid wearing all black or darker shades of green.
There will be an activity table set up as well for kids to choose what they'd like to do including coloring pages, crayons, board and card games, etc.
We also will have a "tattoo" station for kids and adults alike to put on their own temporary tattoos!
And of course, the "trick or treat" table will be full of candy, cakes, cookies, etc. for everyone to enjoy!
If you'd like to request a song to be played at the reception, please follow this link!
