We will be having adults only for our reception and children 16 and up due to rules from the venue! Please keep in mind it is whoever you rsvp’d for. We have limited seating as well so we want to accommodate to be able to have as much of our loved ones attend and celebrate with us!
We do ask to please not have any last minute invites to other people who we don’t know or weren’t invited as we’ve stated above we have a VERY strict seating limit
Many of you have asked if we have a registry , we sorta do but we ideally do not want gifts we will be having QR codes set up around the venue if anyone wants to contribute to our honeymoon fund! We are living on the road and will be driving my car the next day from Washington to Indiana so we don’t have much space!
This venue is mainly outdoors with the exception of the seats inside for food , which we will be having a seating chart!
As far as dress code please stay away from wearing blue (any kind of blue) and the obvious white !
Depending on weather, we will be having a huge bonfire as well as outdoor games! so bring a sweater just Incase!
Our venue is non smoking so please we do ask to avoid smoking I believe there is a designated space at this venue where it is allowed but I will follow up with the venue if there are questions about this!
What to expect from our reception:
As we are coming together in our different cultures we will be having traditional Mexican celebrations which are:
1) The money dance, what is this? -we have our loved ones pin dollar bills of as much amounts you would like ($1,$5$10,$20$100) and we dance in the middle of the dance floor with everyone as they take turns! We will be providing pins for this!
2) the snake dance, what is this? -Eli and I will be standing on chairs and we will take turns women and men will be running in a line around the venue , for the men the goal is to knock Eli down!
3) El baile del mandilon, what is this? -This is a traditional dance where eli will be carrying a baby , sweeping (picking up daily chores) and I will be dancing around with him (the roles reversed)
