We request that our ceremony is UNPLUGGED. But during the reception, yes, we encourage guests to post pictures on to their social media channels. Our only request is that you tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #CarlyAndKyleDownTheAisle so we can keep track of all of your pictures!
Will there be an afterparty?
Yes! The bridal party (& friends) will either be walking to Pioneer Bowl or going to a couple of bars in Menomonee Falls (i.e., DJ's Goalpost and Alumni Club). There will be limited space in the shuttle, so plan on driving or Ubering there. There is a good chance that specifics for the plan may change, so be sure to stay in the loop!
