RSVP responses are now open. Please feel free to respond by July 15th.
The ASI is located at 2600 Park Avenue Minneapolis, MN 55407.
For guests staying in downtown Minneapolis, the ASI is theoretically within walking distance. However, we understand that walking in semi-formal attire can be less comfortable than walking in jeans and sneakers. Minneapolis has a strong Uber and Lyft base, as well as LIME scooters if that is your vibe.
If you would like to drive your own vehicle to the ASI, there is ample parking space for the ASI itself at no-charge. Should we run out of ASI parking, there is street parking in the area.
Semi-formal to formal attire requested.
For guests wearing pants: "semi-formal to formal" means any slacks, a tie or bow tie, and a jacket. A tux is not required.
For guests choosing dresses: "semi-formal to formal" means anything from a cocktail dress to a floor-length gown is appropriate.
Our colors are jewel tones, so feel free to let that influence your choices (but you don't have to dress within that palette if you don't want to).
Ultimately, we want YOU at the wedding, not your outfit. If you do still want to make sure you're within the dress code, we strongly recommend following The Knot's dress code guidelines, which you can read at https://www.theknot.com/content/wedding-guest-attire-cheat-sheet
Minneapolis and St. Paul are pretty easy to get around and navigate. Most driving is similar to what you'll find in other medium-to-large city centers in the country. We recommend using your own vehicle if you drove to the cities.
If you flew in, Minneapolis and St. Paul have an excellent public transport system with the Light Rail and their busing system.
If you're not used to navigating public transportation, the Light Rail is our recommendation. The maps are easy to understand, the fares are very reasonable, and the system is pretty comprehensive for the areas you'll need or want to access.
The ASI is located near downtown Minneapolis (within walking distance depending on where you are staying), guests can also use Minneapolis public transportation or ride sharing apps like Uber or Lyft to conveniently arrive to the ASI.
We want you to be as safe as possible. If you are worried that you are unsafe to drive home after the wedding, we have confirmed with the ASI that cars parked in their parking lot may remain overnight.
Because the ASI is an active museum with Sunday hours, they do ask that you remove your vehicle promptly Sunday morning so that customers can use the parking. While there is no hard-and-fast "you MUST remove your car by this time or it will be towed," the hope is that you can collect your vehicle BY NOON on Sunday (and ideally before they open to the public at ten am).
In early September, expect temperatures to range from the 60s to the mid 80s with some significant humidity (nothing like what you'd find in Florida, but more than you find in the plains). The concrete and asphalt downtown can make the weather feel much hotter than it is. Plan to wear clothes that can breathe but bring a jacket in case the weather gets chilly at night.
The wedding will be a combo of indoors and outdoors. We strongly suggest thinking more "summer" than "autumn" when picking fabric weights and making other attire choices.
