FAQs
Question
I got my Save the Date, but not an invitation, what does that mean?
Answer
It means that we sent out more Save the Dates than we did invitations, because we knew that our in person guest list was extremely limited, and not everyone we love can be there. Fortunately, thanks to technology, there is no hard limit to the amount of loved ones we can have via a virtual celebration! So we want to make sure that everyone who's important to us knows when we're celebrating virtually, even if they can't be with us in person!
Question
Is there a virtual event for people who can't be there in person?
Answer
YES! We will be setting up a video stream for all of our loved ones who aren't able to be with us in person! We will be live streaming the ceremony on the Bride's Facebook page for anyone who may not be able to make it in person, so make sure you're over there on the 24th, and the ceremony will be at 4:30 PM, Pacific Standard Time!
Question
How big is your wedding going to be?
Answer
While initially we had dreamed of having a huge 200 person shindig, that's just no longer a reasonable reality in the world of Covid. Brittany works in a hospital, and Jared works with the public every day, and we couldn't bear the thought of being at the epicenter of a super-spreader event. We are limiting the number of in person guests to our immediate families and bridal party. We will however be having the ceremony live streamed on the Bride's Facebook on the day of for our friends and family that are not able to be there in person, so they can still celebrate with us from a safe distance!
Question
Do I need to wear a mask?
Answer
It is now less than two weeks before the wedding, and I can say with full confidence that almost all of the people who will be there in person have been fully vaccinated, barring a few medical exceptions, so we will not be requiring masks for those in person! This is only possible because we have kept our event so small, and because our families have fortunately been able to get their appointments as soon as possible! We will have masks available should anyone feel uncomfortable and want to wear them for peace of mind, but we fortunately do not feel that they will be necessary for our small group!
Question
Is it outside?
Answer
Yes! Both the ceremony and the reception are outside, so if you are celebrating with us in person, make sure you've got some comfortable shoes that won't sink into the ground!
Question
Do I get a plus one?
Answer
Sorry folks, but the answer to this one is going to be a firm no. We're really tightening up the in-person guest list because of Covid, so we are not budging at all if we can help it! We love you all! Thank you for understanding our limitations even as we celebrate our big day!
Question
What do I wear?
Answer
The dress code is Garden Party! That basically means that we are having an outdoor, Spring wedding, and that's how we'll dress! Definitely not black tie! Gentlemen, no need for a full Tux and Tails! Some slacks or chinos with a dress shirt, maybe a bowtie and suspenders or a vest, those would all be great options! And don't shy away from some fun Spring colors! Throw a pastel color in there! Maybe something with a fun pattern! Look nice, but don't take yourself too seriously! Ladies! Throw on your cutest summer dress! Maybe that floral maxi you've been keeping your eye on for the right occasion! We're talking colors! We're talking patterns! We're talking experimenting with textures! Go for it! Have a ball! But don't wear a ball gown because you'll probably sweat your pretty little self into heatstroke! And please BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR SHOES! Our Ceremony is on grass, so maybe think long and hard about your heels! We don't need anyone busting an ankle like the bride always does!
