We want to see you SHINE! Cocktail or formal attire is encouraged, but please don't overthink it. We also want you comfortable and being yourself. Also keep in mind that this is an outdoor event with grass. Flats & Boots are recommended over stilettos or narrow heels.
Unless you are with the Wedding Party, a Vendor, or specifically intending to help with final touches for setting up, please do not arrive before 2:30 PM. We will not be able to cater to our guests until we've thoroughly set up for the Wedding/Reception.
3PM Arrival Time. If you are not here for the Ceremony by 3:30 PM and it has started, please do not disrupt the moment. We will see you at the reception after 4:00 PM
Our usher will be checking all phones to ensure they are silenced for the ceremony. If a single cellphone goes off during the ceremony, the Maid of Honor will beat you down after the usher chucks your device far away into the Orchard trees. You don't want to spend the day limping while searching the grounds beyond for your device. SILENCE THE PHONE.
Our Flower girl will be the only child in attendance at the ceremony. Mature teenagers are welcome so long as they are named in the invitation. Children may attend the reception so long as they are chaperoned by an adult.
There will be a ticket system from 4:00 PM to 7:30 PM for guests who wish to drink responsibly. Each guest will receive two drink tickets during this time. Some guests may choose to remain sober, so please do not offer drinks to anyone. Everyone will be able to get their own beverages if they choose. If you plan to abstain from alcohol, please let us know in your RSVP so we can withhold drink tickets. After 7:30 PM, the bar will be open without the need for tickets. All guests who plan on drinking after 7:30 PM need to have a designated driver available. Cars may be parked overnight but must be picked up by 9AM the next morning.
IRISH EXITS ARE OKAY! :) Amber and Thomas love each of you and don't want anyone standing around uncomfortably waiting to say goodbye while they are occupied. If you are no longer feeling well or something has come up, leaving early without saying goodbye is perfectly fine. We'll catch up with you soon!
Purples, burgundies, earth tones, some creams, and black. The only thing in white should be our Bride - and that's not even a guarantee ;)
Any arguments or fighting amongst guests will not be tolerated. Drawing attention away from the festivities or special moments and into somebody's personal feud, drama, or drunken shit-show will result in immediate booting from the party. This includes family and close friends. No exceptions will be made. Let's keep our celebration of love classy and fun!
