So, here's the deal, as of now. We know traveling for a wedding during all of this *waves hands frantically* is an awful lot. If you don't feel comfortable with it, we 1000% understand. We've put a lot of thought into this, and we feel that our outdoor plans, combined with masks, mitigates a lot of the concerns, but ultimately whether or not you attend is entirely up to you. Of course we want to celebrate with you all, that's why you're on the guest list in the first place, but we're realistic. We most certainly don't want to guilt you into something that makes you feel unsafe. And who knows, we could change our minds when we get closer and have a better grasp on what we'll be looking at come September. Nevertheless, we love you all and look forward to seeing you, whether that is at our wedding or later on when everyone feels safe again.
If you don't mind dressing up a bit for the ceremony and dinner, we'd appreciate it. We're talking K.I.S.S. here, Sunday Best, Dress Casual, whatever you want to call it. Slacks and a button-down shirt, a dress, etc. Definitely not black tie. After that, all bets are off. The Bride ain't wearing a dress any longer than she needs to - she certainly isn't expecting you to be super uncomfortable for the whole evening. And no one wants to make their dress clothes smell like smoke while making s'mores.
Yes, we did. We're not ones for over the top and super fancy plated meals. The idea is that we want everyone to be a part of the celebration in the most traditional way possible - food. We don't expect anything crazy - we will be providing the heart of the meal - but a side or desert would be greatly appreciated. Just make sure to let us know what you're bringing when you RSVP, and if, for whatever reason, you won't be able to contribute, no worries! We know it's a lot to ask when it's so far from home for all of you!
Short-answer? No. Unfortunately we have limited space at both the ceremony and the reception. Also, you all know how awkward we are with people we don't know...
