7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
A little casual get together for those who will be in Madison. No RSVP necessary.
If you're arriving in Madison on Friday, we would love to see you! We'll save some tables and drink beer & eat snacks with whoever wants to hang out on the shores of Lake Monona.
2:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Elena and Jalen are not planning to go to this, but it's a fun event! It's basically a giant food festival on the Capitol Square in downtown Madison.
4:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Our official welcome party to kick off the weekend! A special thank you gathering for all of our out-of-town guests. We'll provide food and drinks in an open house format. Come and go whenever you'd like, but please do RSVP so we know how much food to get.
We'll be a little dressed up and invite you to join us! Think fancy restaurant attire or what you'd wear to look cute at a concert. We'll hang for a few hours and then maybe hit a few neighborhood bars.
3:30 pm - 4:00 pm
Suggested attire: we're calling it summer formal. Inspiration can be found here https://pin.it/4yoorDY3B. Picture the fanciest lawn party you've ever imagined. If you've never imagined a fancy lawn party, that's okay: Full participation looks like wearing colors embodying wildflowers from a late-summer prairie. Picture dusty blue asters, goldenrod, deep sage, and the loveliest lavender shades of coneflowers. Suits (grey, blue, or tan) and long dresses (midi or maxi) are preferred, but certainly not required. Please no children unless they are listed on your envelope or on the RSVPs on the website. We appreciate your understanding!
4:30 pm - 9:00 pm
After the ceremony, Elena & Jalen will take some photos, and everyone else can kick off happy hour. Beer, wine, and non-alcoholic drinks will be served. Dinner buffet will begin around 5:00pm, followed by dancing and dessert until 9:00pm.
9:15 pm - 11:30 pm
Late-night snacks, cocktails, and fun vibes. This is walking distance from Burrows Park and easily Uberable to downtown or the hotel.
