Whichever works best for you and your schedule! The drive from Seattle to Polson is ~8 hours. The flight from SEA to MSO or FCA is ~1.5 hours.
You can fly into Glacier Park (FCA) or Missoula (MSO). Glacier Park airport is 35 minutes from Bigfork and 1 hour and 15 minutes from Polson. Missoula airport is 1 hour and 45 minutes from Bigfork and 1 hour and 15 minutes from Polson.
While it might be easiest to rent a car, both the Missoula and Glacier Park airports have paid shuttle services available. You will not need a car to get to our welcome party or wedding as long as you are staying near one of the shuttle pickup locations.
There is extremely limited parking at the welcome party and wedding ceremony and it will be easiest for guests to take one of the shuttles from Bigfork or Polson. However, limited parking is available - contact Danny for parking information at baumerdanny@gmail.com.
Friday night attire is "Best Western" - in homage to Montana, we ask you to wear what you might wear to a rodeo. Denim, sundresses, "Jorts," cowboy boots and hats, sneakers, flannels, a bandana etc. Please wear shoes you feel would feel comfortable walking down a driveway in.
The attire on Saturday is cocktail.
Nope! We love your little ones, but these events are not kid-friendly.
