Honestly, we don't care! You should definitely wear whatever you want. We mainly just want you to be there and to be comfortable and to feel however you want to feel in your clothes. We listed semi-formal attire on the invite because we think it'd be fun for folks to dress up a little bit. (We certainly will be dressed up!) It's a party, after all. :)

Mid-September in the Portland area is usually still pretty warm, though we're hoping it won't be the peak of heat. Google says the average high that time of year is 73 degrees and the average low is 54. We might advise you to bring a layer you can shed or don, as needed. Also, note that we're planning to hold the ceremony and reception outside, on grass.

Since our guest list is so short (we deliberated forever about it and really culled it down to the bare minimum), we did not reserve room blocks at a hotel or anything like that. Sorry! We're leaving it up to you to plan the logistics of your stay. That said, I think pretty much all of you know that we live in North Portland, and you can see that our wedding will be held in Hillsboro, about a 30 minute drive from our neighborhood. Somewhere close to either our house or the venue might be a good idea. Coordinating with each other for ease of transportation and meeting up is highly encouraged!

We don't have a great excuse for the sorry state of our registry. All we can say, and we hope you understand, is that we already have our house and lives set up. We don't really need more stuff. Now, that said, if you're an artist and you'd like to make something for us, or if you'd rather just take us out to dinner sometime in the future, we would absolutely love that! We don't have any expectations for wedding gifts. The fact that so many of you are making the trip to Portland to celebrate us is already a huge present--the best we could ask for.
