YES. It will likely still be very warm on September 21. We recommend having layers so if it does get chilly later in the evening, you can be comfortable. If you're cold, you also have the option to dance your heart out to warm up.
We will be/were married on July 19 of this year and these invitations are inviting you to celebrate with that with us! AKA, this is our reception only, not our wedding. It won't be much different than a wedding reception that happens immediately after the ceremony, though, so don't worry.
You can tell us you're coming (or breaking our hearts) by August 20 via the QR code on your invitation.
We are registered on Williams-Sonoma, Crate & Barrel, Target, and Amazon. Our registry is located on Zola, where you also have the option to send us money for things like date nights, adventures, or whatever if you aren't a gift givin' kinda person.
There is a parking lot located directly behind the venue that can accommodate some of us but if the lot is full, please safely park in the area and then make your way to the Gallery for the evening's festivities.
In order to keep to our budget and to fire code, we are limited to our set guest list. You'll know if you have a plus one or your kiddos are welcome if they are listed on your invitation (or they're in your RSVP). Thank you in advance for making the necessary arrangements to spend the evening with us!
We will have light snacks during our reception. Please let us know if you have a dietary restriction when you RSVP.
We have a block of rooms at the Oread Hotel here in Lawrence! They are kind and easy to work with if you need a hotel room. There is a page on the website where you can use our link to get the block's prices. There are several other hotels in town that are really great, too! Do what works for you and your people.
