What's the attire?
Cocktail Attire- we're looking forward to hosting a beautiful vintage garden soiree. (Not as Patrick would describe it- a backyard BBQ shindig, LOL.) For guys- suits or slacks with a button down shirt and jacket. For gals- cocktail dresses, or summery gowns. It's likely going to be warm, so dress accordingly- linen could be a great option! Ladies, keep in mind we'll be on grass when thinking about footwear. Have fun with what you choose to wear! Even get a little crazy should you wish ;)

Can I bring the kids?
As much as we love your kiddos and would love to have them all here, we've made the difficult decision to limit those invited to our immediate families littles only.
Cousins, please bring all your cuties along for the festivities! We will be sure to have some fun kid-friendly activities and a too-cool-for-school kids table for them to sit at with their fellow cousins! For dinner, they will be served a yummy boxed meal and are welcome to join in on the family style dinner too, should they wish.
Friends, we kindly ask that you get a babysitter for the night and come enjoy the festivities sans kids. Thank you for your understanding.
How do I fill out this RSVP card?
1.) Please write all the names of those who will be attending the wedding on the first line titled "Name:" If all in your party are declining, please include all names here.
2.) Write any food allergies you may have on the second line. Indicate any dietary preferences and how many in your party have that preference. If you don't see your particular preference there, please write it in. No need to select an entree, as we will be serving a family style dinner.
3.) Check whether you will be attending or declining the wedding and Sunday brunch.
4.) Reach out with any questions you may have!
Where to park?
We have been given the generous gift of using our neighbor's yard for our guests to park. When you arrive, please follow the signage pulling into our next door neighbor's second driveway and follow our parking attendants instructions. They will direct you to drive all the way to the back field and neatly park in the old horse pasture.
What's the bathroom situation?
We have rented a luxury bathroom trailer and ask that all of our guests use this to go to the bathroom during the day of the wedding.
What if it rains?
We've rented a huge tent and plan to host our wedding whether it rains or shines! We'll have fun no matter what, but do understand if you can't make it due to inclemate weather. Please let us know ahead of time if you are unable to make the day if you had previously RSVP's as attending. Thanks :)
Where to stay?
Please see the accommodations tab for hotel ideas in the area and be sure to book your rooms as early as you can. We have not blocked rooms at any hotel as we wanted to leave your options open. This time of year is high season and books up quickly! Don't forget, there are plenty of Airbnb's in the area that may better suit your needs. Please feel free to reach out to us should you need help searching for homes in the area or would like a few suggestions sent your way.
Open bar?
Yes. Please plan to have a designated driver.
What's for dinner?
We are so excited to be having Ani's Table cooking for us on our wedding day. We are working closely with them to come up with creative, fresh and seasonal faire for our special day. We plan on having a variety of passed apps during our cocktail hour. For dinner, family style platters with Italianate/French farm to table fare will be served in flowing courses. We're so excited for our guests to come, relax and enjoy all the festivities!
