We are so excited to celebrate with each and everyone of you. We wanted to share a few things with you to help make the evening run smoothly.
May 3rd is a big day not just for us but Fort Worth is also hosting their annual Mayfest. That coupled with it being around 5 o'clock on Friday may cause traffic delays. We wanted to give you all this notice so you can take it into consideration as you drive to the botanical gardens.
If you are planning on staying in Fort Worth, we recommend staying in the Fort Worth Cultural District or as close as possible. VRBO and AirBnB have great options in this area, we have also listed several hotel options under the travel page.
See Below for more information about the big day.
What Is the dress code?
We are asking our guests to come in cocktail attire. We suggest the men wear a suit or a dress shirt and pants, and the women wear dresses or dressy separates. It is a garden party so please feel free to have fun with color and playful patterns.
Can we bring our kids?
We love your children, however as there are many, we cannot invite them all due to limited space. We hope you appreciate that children are only invited if named in your party.
