The ceremony is set to begin at 4 o'clock p.m., so we ask that you are seated by 3:45p.m.

The Smithville Inn offers valet parking for all of our guests. When arriving at the venue, tell them that you're there for the McDonough wedding and they will take it from there! The valet parking is located in a lot across the street, so your car and belongings will be close by throughout the event.

While we both LOVE your children, we kindly ask that you leave the little ones at home and enjoy the night out. If your child is invited, their name will be listed on the invite.

Our wedding will be focused on enjoying the celebration with our close friends and family, and so we are not extending +1s at this time. If your partner is invited, their name is listed on both the Save the Date and the Formal Invitation.

We ask that all phones and cameras are kept silent and away during the ceremony. While we are grateful that you are so excited to share photos of us on our big day, we will be having an unplugged ceremony. We have hired an amazing photographer who will be capturing the moments for us. However, during the cocktail hour and reception, PLEASE feel free to take as many pictures/videos/snapchats/etc as you would like and be sure to share them with us. We would love to see you all enjoying our celebration!

The dress code for our event will be semi-formal. We welcome you to wear any colors/prints that you would like, but please, no loud colors (hot pink, highlighter yellow, you get it). It will be hot so please dress according to your comfortability.

For several months, we had been debating what last name to go with. Would we be the Thomas'? The Moores? Something else? Both of us felt that keeping one of our last names didn't quite feel right, so we decided to take on a whole new name. After deciding that we would like this to still be a familial name, we landed on McDonough. McDonough is the last name of Erin's late great-grandmother, Mary, with whom Erin spent most of her time with as a young girl. Affectionately known as Gram, Mary embodied the compassionate, fierce, joyful love that we will be striving for in our own marriage and lives.

In lieu of spending an obscene amount of money on run-of-the-mill desserts, we borrowed a tradition from Pittsburgh for our reception. We will have a cookie table featuring recipes and treats from many friends and family members. If you received this card, this is what you need to know: 1. We think you're a great baker and wanted to include your recipes in our special day. 2. Please bake up to two dozen of your favorite cookies to be displayed and enjoyed at the reception. 3. Enclosed in the envelope, there is a blank white notecard. Please write the name of your cookies on the notecard to be displayed with your cookies! 4. We would love to add your recipe to our collection! Feel free to include a recipe card for us to keep and make in the future. 5. On the wedding day, bring the cookies to the reception area (there will be signage). Our wedding coordinator and on-site planning team will take things from there! 6. PLEASE no recipes using nuts. One of our bridesmaids and several guests have nut allergies. Thank you in advance for your loving participation in our special day! We are so grateful!
