Where to park?

Answer

Plenty of parking, there will be signage! For RV's, there are specific spots, there will be signs for this too!

Question

What do I need to bring?

Answer

Think camping gear / attire, it’s a lakeside campsite after all! Please bring one towel per guest / shower essentials. FOR BEDDING, we have gotten one pillow, one fitted sheet & flat sheet, and one blanket for those staying onsite. If you would like more than these items, please bring your own extras.

Question

What will be provided for me?

Answer

Lake gear will be provided, but please bring your own towel / sunscreen (we have extra mini bottles, but anyone with skin sensitivity should bring their own)!

Question

Answer

We will provide snacks, continental style breakfast options, and easy lunch fixings. (SOME VEGAN / GLUTEN FREE options will be available for all meals / snacks / desserts) Working will provide simple dinners that can be cooked by the campfire: Thursday - Costco pizza Friday - Burgers + zucchini + watermelon Saturday - Kabobs with multiple meats & veggies (please let us know if you cannot have pineapple as they will be a part of the kabobs) + macaroni salad + three bean salad Sunday - catered options (TBD) DESSERT - s'mores each night (including the wedding night - we are camping after all ;)) Please note: any dietary restrictions must be made aware to us so we can provide alternate options for anyone who needs this! :)

Question

What beverage options will there be?

Answer

As many of you know, Alex and I do not drink alcohol anymore. That being said, we will provide a nightly Happy Hour with beer and wine (reception will host this in addition to his and hers mocktails / cocktails) but we will kindly ask that shots not be provided. For NA options, we will provide water / sparkling water / juice for kiddos / NA beer & wine / gatorade.

Question

What are sleeping arrangements?

Answer

If you have selected to stay onsite, please note that bedding we provide is: one pillow, one fitted & flat sheet, & one blanket (per bed), but if any of you prefer more pillows or blankets, please provide your own extras.

Question

How will I travel to / from the airport?

Answer

As many of you are flying into two separate airports, please connect with other members of the family for possible carpooling as there may be other wedding guests on the same flights as you! There are daily trains / shuttles from Seattle to Bellingham, please let us know if you would like help choosing the best option for your family. (Turo is a well known car rental app that is far cheaper than rental agencies and has options for pickup / drop off at airports for ease of travel.) CARPOOLING RECOMMENDED As some of you know, Alex and I moved to Bellingham at the beginning of April, so please let us know if you have any questions regarding this airport. Please note: Bellingham airport does not allow Uber or other transportation apps on their property, so local taxi or carpooling arrangements will be necessary from this airport.

Question

What does the schedule look like?

Answer

We are aiming to treat this like a combined family reunion at a summer camp by the lakeside, with a short wedding thrown in! For anyone who arrives Thursday, this is our setup day, so anyone interested in helping, please connect with either myself or Alex. (Costco pizza and beverages to be provided) There will be a casual Welcome Party at the lodge on Friday evening as most of you arrive then. There will be a short rehearsal dinner for the wedding party only on Saturday evening at 6pm in the lodge. The ceremony will be short and sweet at 1pm on Sunday at the amphitheater, followed by a reception at the lodge! PLEASE NOTE: directly after the ceremony the photographer will be pulling immediate family members and members of the wedding party aside to take photos, so if that’s you, please remain seated after the ceremony finalizes. On Monday at 11am, we are hosting a Thank You Brunch (continental style) PAJAMA PARTY at the lodge! We hope you can make it before you need to head home! Following brunch, we will be breaking down anything we setup on Thursday, again, please connect with either Alex or myself if you are able / willing to help! Other than the wedding festivities, there is no real schedule, so just grab your sunscreen / swimsuit & RELAX! Words cannot express how excited we are to see each and every one of you! THANK YOU in advance for making our biggest adventure yet full of love and happiness! We can’t wait!!
