Q + A

What day should I RSVP by?

Please RSVP regrets by March 1st, 2024.

What is the address to the Happily Ever After Party?

Our Happily Ever After Party will be located at Walnut Woods Lodge. The address is: 3155 Walnut Woods Dr, West Des Moines, IA 50265.

Will your wedding be indoors or outdoors?

There is space inside and outside; both with fireplaces. There is a small park, a volleyball net, and a horseshoe pit on the property as well for those of all ages to enjoy.

Is there parking available at the lodge?

There is a parking lot in front of the lodge.

Is there a dress code?

We want everyone to look and feel their best! Please dress in what makes you comfortable. Semi-casual will work great!

Am I allowed to bring my children?

The party is meant for all ages to come and celebrate our marriage.

Will there be an open bar?

Unfortunately, there is no open bar at the lodge. We will provide some alcohol but encourage you to BYOB if you'd like something more. Lodge Rules: No Hard Liquor. Please respect this rule of the lodge to ensure we all have a great time without the fine.

Do I need to bring a gift?

Your presence at our celebration is enough for us! We are fortunate enough to have everything we need for our home. Instead, we would like to make lifelong memories together. If you desire to get us a gift, please consider making a contribution to our Experience Fund. We look forward to sharing many new experiences together, as husband and wife.

What types of experiences are on the newlywed's Bucketlist?

Jon and I plan to cross many things off of our Bucket List during our first year of marriage! We plan to take many small trips to the nearby states to enjoy Fugitive Falls in MO, the Omaha Zoo, riding in a hot-air balloon, fishing in MI, travel to Galena, IL, and participating in a glass blowing class. We are SUPER excited to create new memories together as husband and wife.
