We love your kids - we really do! But we want our reception to be your one night off. And alcohol will be free flowing and not closely monitored. For everyone's safety and so all loved ones can have a worry-free, amazing time, we ask that you don't bring your kids to this event. Thank you so much for understanding!
If the envelope carrying your invitation says "and Guest", then yes! Feel free to bring a girlfriend, boyfriend, best friend or loved one with you! If not, we would prefer if it was just you.
Cocktail, please. But we want you to feel comfortable and have a great time at our reception! So, if your shoes are too high or if that tie is too tight, feel free to let loose!
Alex and I are anything but traditional! We had an intimate wedding ceremony in August. So, this event is for our reception to celebrate tying the knot! There will be no ceremony, no seating plan, and no set schedule. So, as soon as you arrive, help yourself to food if you're hungry, drinks if you're thirsty, and a seat if you need a minute to rest from all that dancing! We highly encourage you to say hello to the other guests around you and get to know each other! We love all of you and we're all family now! We have booked a live band called the Henhouse Prowlers that will start at approximately 7pm and will play until 10pm with a little break in between. These guys really know how to play so don't leave your dancing shoes at home! Our event will end promptly at 11pm, but many of us will be heading back to the hotel block at the Hilton Garden Inn Chicago to continue the celebration. Feel free to join us if you think the night is still young! We can't wait to celebrate with you!
