Do you have a registry?
We do not expect a gift from our guests, and we are very appreciative of any gift we do receive. We are registered on Amazon, Target, Ikea, and Crate & Barrel. You can access our registry as a whole from this website under the "Registry" tab, or from those respective sites individually. The Ikea registry is linked at the bottom of the registry page.
Can I bring a plus one?
If the envelope included your significant other's name, or " & Guest," they are invited. If the envelope only stated your name, they are not. If you are unsure, reach out to Jake or Sydney. Although we would love for you to have your person to celebrate with us, tough decisions had to be made due to the venue being at maximum capacity. Please DO NOT bring a guest if they are not invited.
Are my kids invited?
If the envelope stated your kids' names, or "____ Family" they are invited! If it only included you and your partner's name, they are not. Although we love kids, the kids present at the wedding are close to the couple!
What does parking look like?
There is a large parking lot at the church that will hold all of our guests. The reception is at a community event center, therefore the parking lot is public parking. The lot will fit the majority of guests, and there will be plenty of free street parking nearby if necessary.

25 mins from the ceremony, 12 mins from reception

What will be served for food?
A house salad, bread rolls, ham, gouda hashbrowns, and caramelized bacon brussels sprouts. Ham, hashbrowns, and brussels sprouts are gluten free.
What is the drink/bar situation?
There will be keg(s) with beer, and wine, free for guests, as well as a cash bar if you would like to purchase yourself a drink other than what is provided. Pop and water is free.
If I have been drinking, how will I get to the hotel?
The Holiday Inn Express & Suites in Shakopee has a complimentary shuttle (holds 11 people) that will bring 3 loads of guests back to the hotel at the end of the night (10:30pm, 11:45pm, and 12:15am). If you are at a different hotel, or the shuttle is full, you are responsible for your own safe/sober ride. There will be plenty of Uber/Lyft options in the area if needed.
What can me or my family do besides dance at the reception?
We will have yard games outside (cornhole, spike ball, etc.), and coloring sheets inside.
