A Note From the Couple

We are so excited to celebrate this special moment in our lives with the people we love most. As we plan our wedding, we are filled with gratitude for the many wonderful friends and family who have been part of our journey.	Due to venue capacity, we are limited to a guest list of 200. While we would love to include everyone who holds a place in our hearts, we hope you understand that we simply cannot invite more than our space allows.Thank you for your love, support, and understanding—we truly feel surrounded by so much kindness and care as we begin this next chapter together. With love,Chad &amp; Brittany

﻿Cocktail AttireKey ElementsPolished and Tailored:&nbsp;The core principle is a sophisticated aesthetic achieved through tailored garments.&nbsp;Semi-Formal:&nbsp;It's more elevated than casual wear but less formal than black-tie.&nbsp;Evening Events:&nbsp;Cocktail attire is usually reserved for evening social occasions, parties, and weddings.&nbsp;What to Wear For MenSuit:&nbsp;A dark suit in navy, charcoal, or black is a classic choice.&nbsp;Shirt:&nbsp;A crisp dress shirt in a solid color or subtle pattern is ideal.&nbsp;Tie:&nbsp;A tie is often preferable, adding to the polished look.&nbsp;Shoes:&nbsp;Dress shoes, such as polished leather loafers or oxfords, complete the outfit.&nbsp;Consideration:&nbsp;Black suits can sometimes be too formal for a cocktail event, so a dark suit in navy or charcoal is often a safer bet, according to Black Lapel.&nbsp;For WomenDresses:&nbsp;A knee-length or midi dress in an elegant fabric like silk, satin, or chiffon is a perfect option.&nbsp;Jumpsuits/Pantsuits:&nbsp;A chic, stylish jumpsuit or a well-tailored pantsuit is a modern alternative.&nbsp;Separates:&nbsp;A sophisticated skirt and blouse combination can also workAccessories:&nbsp;Statement jewelry, a stylish clutch, and heels or dressy flats complete the look.&nbsp; Avoid:&nbsp;Jeans, shorts, and other overly casual items are not appropriate.&nbsp;What to Avoid<a href="https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=184b5e68f8bfca7f&amp;q=Casual+Wear&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi1z7LK-fGPAxWU4ckDHYGwIGkQxccNegUIlgIQAw&amp;mstk=AUtExfBJRELAcnIxlNHRfLVFVGQFxvKROjEwtTJMlHI9DV7Mss5Mo8Gv3Pd1p8CWwXiMCo56qIMdsjwFnk63-ii57tToqGzeXsu1csIFPWHkkCF4G8CfnP7G8T35LmqANRql9qHJWNjCViS2CSLBtNcJnn5tj-jbodsYhgOSofxK4OEktd0&amp;csui=3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Casual Wear:&nbsp;</a>Jeans, sneakers, or overly casual sandals are not suitable for cocktail attire.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.google.com/search?sca_esv=184b5e68f8bfca7f&amp;q=Anything+Too+Casual&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwi1z7LK-fGPAxWU4ckDHYGwIGkQxccNegUIkAIQAw&amp;mstk=AUtExfBJRELAcnIxlNHRfLVFVGQFxvKROjEwtTJMlHI9DV7Mss5Mo8Gv3Pd1p8CWwXiMCo56qIMdsjwFnk63-ii57tToqGzeXsu1csIFPWHkkCF4G8CfnP7G8T35LmqANRql9qHJWNjCViS2CSLBtNcJnn5tj-jbodsYhgOSofxK4OEktd0&amp;csui=3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Anything Too Casual:&nbsp;</a>The key is to avoid anything that is too relaxed for an upscale event,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.brides.com/cocktail-attire-wedding-4844364" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">says Brides</a>.&nbsp;
