RSVP is not required. But we’ll be happy to hear that you’re coming. If you want to let us know, shoot Ben or Michelle a text message. Michelle’s family does not participate in RSVP’ing, so we are not even going to attempt to get an accurate headcount.

Feel free to show up anytime between 12pm-7pm per the invitation. There will be food the entire time, though popular eats may run out if you choose to show up later. There will be no planned ceremony-type things to miss, besides maybe a quick toast at some point during the day.

Weather permitting, we will set up mostly outdoors. We will have sun and bug protection available, but you can bring your own if you prefer. There will also be places to hang out indoors for bad weather and for people to get out of the sun.

Please wear whatever you want, we want you to be comfortable and to have fun. Note that our patio area is uneven and you may also be walking on grass. We will also be asking guests to take off shoes when inside our home. If you want to match our level of dress: Ben will be wearing a suit. Michelle will be wearing a tea-length dress.

We will have casual food and drink. Think burgers on the grill, pizza, finger foods, desserts, beers, sodas, etc. If you have any specific dietary restrictions, please message Ben or Michelle to let them know.

If you want to bring a plus one, your children, and/or dogs they are totally welcome. We will have small activities for the little ones. Note that we do not have a fenced yard for dogs to roam free.

Most of our guests are local or have friends/family to stay with, so we did not book a hotel block. If you’re having trouble finding a place to stay, you can reach out to Ben or Michelle for help. However, we live here so we may not be super helpful in our recommendations.

You do not have to get us a gift. But if you really want to get us something and you’re wondering if we have a registry, we do not have a proper registry. There was too much decision making involved and we were overwhelmed. However, we put together a Google Sheet with some ideas: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-BIY2S7bj2KG2k54T4so1tJRyyyBX6GqjDwjvObrRxw/edit?usp=sharing
