If you have RSVP’d online you will not have to send in your card. If you would like to just in case there is any mix up I would be more than happy to receive the details of your arrival.
If you are able to I would take the time to immediately RSVP just so that it isn’t forgotten about. If not the official cut off date will be April 18th, exactly one month prior to the wedding.
If you search on any map “5059 Carol Lane, Valley Springs, Ca” the venue location and directions should pop up. The venue is called Rusty Spurs Ranch. The only specification would be to keep to the left of the fork once you’re in the gravel road, there will be signs directing you from there to the correct location.
Driving your own vehicle or getting a ride with someone would be the best way possible as there are no Taxis, Lyfts, Ubers, etc.
Parking will be available and signs will be out directing you to the correct locations.
The wedding will be outdoors under a covered space.

We will have a box for any cash donations and we have set up an account for any Venmo donations we receive. Our Venmo will be listed at the wedding as well as providing it on our website under the “Registry” tab. Any and all donations will be used toward rebuilding our house as we had a house fire last January and still have not received the funds from insurance. Spending time in a cozy home is much better than any vacation we have ever planned. Thank you in advance for your contributions.
We ask that you please do not purchase gifts for us as we are in the process of rebuilding our home and do not have a place to keep items, we would rather prefer that you put any dollar amount that you would have spent on a gift into our fund to help rebuild our home.

This will be an unplugged ceremony. I will have signs posted, if your phone is out during the ceremony you will be asked to put it away or step out.

During the reception photos are welcomed and encouraged, but please try to have a good time without the device in your hand all night.
Absolutely, please post and tag us so that we can save the photos too.
