Family & Friends,&nbsp;

10 days!! We are so excited to celebrate with everyone and can't wait to throw the party we have been planning for over 2 years!&nbsp; &nbsp;

As your hosts, we take full responsibility to provide a safe environment for our guests. While pandemic numbers continue to move in the right direction, we still want to ensure that we can have the most fun, safe and relaxed experience possible next week. We are asking that if you are unvaccinated for Covid, will have recently attended a large scale event, are traveling from a state on the Chicago restricted list, or are experiencing any flu symptoms to&nbsp;please get a Covid test 24-72 hours before the event.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Please be courteous and keep in mind we have guests who are in their 90s, pregnant, immunocompromised or have young children at home who are unable to be vaccinated against Covid. We want everyone to feel at ease and have the peace of mind knowing their safety is being cared for.&nbsp;

Current rules for the City of Chicago state that masks must be worn indoors when not eating or drinking.

We truly appreciate you honoring our request as we come together to celebrate!&nbsp;

Sincerely,&nbsp; Melissa&nbsp;+ Brad
