Question
What is Garden Party Attire?
Answer
Think summery, dressy casual. If you’re considering a suit, sports jackets and ties are optional. If you have a favorite bow tie, we encourage you to wear it (in honor of Sam’s Grandpa Earl). If you’re considering a dress/jumpsuit, think lighter fabrics, and florals are encouraged. Since the venue is entirely outdoors, remember a sweater in case of chilly night and heels that won’t get stuck in the grass.
Question

Question
When Should I Use My Rapid Tests?
Answer
Each BinaxNow box contains two tests done with a simple nose and throat swab (throat first!), and results are ready in 15 minutes. To use the test as intended, a person would perform two tests; the first at 36 hours before (ideally before you go through the hassle of flying), and the second on the morning of the event. If this isn't logistically possible, one box could be split in two for a couple to each test shortly before wedding events.
