ARE KIDS INVITED?
There will be some kids that have been formally invited, BUT, we want our friends to ENJOY our wedding, so if that means your kids stay the whole time, part of the time or none of the time that's up to you! When you RSVP please account if you think they'll be there for the meal, so we can count for food, if they're just coming for the ceremony leave a comment please!
WHERE DO I PARK?
We'll have some some parking at our house, we will reach out to who we can fit at the house. Holding those spaces for the older generation. (catering/photography/vendors etc needs parking day of too) Highly encouraging carpooling if it makes sense for you.
For everyone else we have an uber code, the code is: rWueDWFjlGw , that will be a voucher for $15 (you can use one to and from). You can then choose to use this from your house or from The Hampton Inn parking lot, which is where the room block is. There won't be shuttles. We've decided on the Uber code to encourage people to possibly take it from their house and not drive at all, and also then it's not time restricted. We aren't a venue so although it'll slow down at a certain point people can leave as they want and not have to wait or leave early when the shuttle comes. If you have ANY questions about this please reach out.
This link if you open on your phone will take you right to the voucher to save in your uber app. https://r.uber.com/rWueDWFjlGw
WHY YOUR BACKYARD?
We just want to enjoy a day with everyone we love, and share our favorite space with them, and to have our special day here will give us memories forever. Since day one, we've always agreed we both wanted a home wedding.. so WE'RE DOING IT!!
WHAT TIME WILL IT END?
Well luckily, since it's our house we won't get kicked out like a normal venue.. but it'll wind down I'm sure and then we can have a late night P A R T Y or campfire or whatever we want because it's our house and our wedding!
HOW SHOULD I DRESS?
Simple answer, HOWEVER YOU WANT!! Sometimes the fun of a wedding is to get a little fancy, sometimes the not fun of a wedding is to get a little fancy... so do whatever you feel best in. We love YOU, not your clothes, although I may love some of your clothes.. Anyway, we just want you to be comfortable and enjoy. It is in the yard, but will feel like a wedding, and I'll be in a dress, Tom won't be in a dress! (The boys are actually wearing shorts, so guys it's OK to wear shorts if you want) So wear whatever you'd like, bring a change if you want to have sweats by the end of the night by the fire!
DANIELLE ARE YOU DOING THE COOKING?
NOPE!! If I could figure out a way to enjoy the day and do the food I would though, my favorite thing is cooking for those I love and having everyone gathered in one place is going to be hard not cooking. However, it will be fun enjoying everyone and being present!! We are doing food stations, so although every option won't be for everyone we're hoping everyone can find something they like!
WHERE'S YOUR REGISTRY?
So the registry is mostly Amazon, we did add some gift cards because apparently stores like Lowe's, Home Depot, Bass Pro, Tractor Supply don't really do registries - I feel like they're missing a whole market! Those are probably our most visited stores.. Amazon also did not let us add Home Depot gift cards, and luckily we go equally to both!
We did set up a fund for the barn in the woods, our plan is to have the land cleared, and hopefully within the next year start that build, Tom can move his workshop out there, and make a pub space that'll be great to hang out in and all will be welcome and it's going t be awesome!
We appreciate everything so much so thank you all so much for being part of our big day, I never thought I'd get to be filling out a wedding website and registry and all this stuff - but I'm pretty lucky and here I am getting freakin married!
