Morning Brunch and Manicure Party

10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Start the day with a laid-back brunch and some DIY pampering!

Instead of the usual hair appointments or make-up sessions, we're hosting a casual get-together and manicure session open to all guests. We'll have muffins, mimosas (or just orange juice), and plenty of nail polish (plus stamps and fun extras) for a group manicure session. Come hang out, sip something bubbly, and kick off the celebration with some color and conversation. Dress comfortably—think relaxed, social, and okay for a little sparkle or stray polish. This event will be held inside, but keep in mind that the dinner and backyard reception are planned to be outdoors. See the FAQs regarding attire for the evening.

Afternoon Open House

1:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Drop by, hang out, and celebrate with us!

This casual open house is perfect for anyone who can’t make the evening festivities—or who just wants more time to connect. All are welcome, including neighbors and local friends. We'll have a light lunch of quiche and drinks, plus plenty of ways to relax: lawn games outside (weather permitting), and board games or video games indoors for a chill vibe. Stay for a bit or the whole afternoon—we're just happy to see you!

Dinner and Backyard Reception

5:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Starting at 5 PM, we’ll kick off the heart of our celebration—an evening to share food, laughter, and a few meaningful words. We’ll be exchanging vows (no formal ceremony, just us being us), followed by music, mingling, and a relaxed backyard dinner. Dinner will be self-serve with a cozy picnic-style menu: sliders (meat and veggie), baked beans, and cake for dessert. Drinks will include beer, wine, and non-alcoholic options. We’ll also have a guest book, a few take-home favors, and a comfy spot to wind down as the sun sets. Festive-casual is the vibe: Since most of the evening will be outside on the grass, we recommend skipping high heels or dress shoes that might sink into the lawn—opt for something comfortable you can walk and stand in easily. See the FAQ page for more details on suggested attire.

Post-Dinner Movie

9:30 pm - 11:45 pm

After the sun sets, we’ll wind down the evening with a movie under the stars! Weather permitting, we'll be projecting an adventure classic onto the side of the house in the backyard. Grab a blanket, get comfy, and enjoy the show. It’s the perfect way to cap off a relaxed and memorable day with good company.
