Erika & Kevin
FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
As ASAP as possible, as we are very quickly approaching the wedding date! RSVP online for you or your party using your name(s), or give us a call. We'd appreciate you letting us know now, as the August 16 due date has come and gone.
Question
Can I bring a guest?
Answer
If you have a plus one listed, go for it! If you have a family member that's not listed, let us know if you have questions and we'll see what room we have. Our reception venue is small and we are already close to maxing out the space, so please do not bring any unlisted guests. We can't wait to spend our time with you!
Question
Are kids invited?
Answer
Sure thing! Your offspring will be listed on your RSVP. We'll have a high chair and a few booster seats available at the reception for the extra smalls.
Question
What's the dress code?
Answer
Go for a tea party or dressy casual look. Our colors are blues and purples, but don't worry about not wearing those. We want you to feel comfortable and welcome. Plan on bringing coats, blankets, hats or other articles for comfort in the forecasted weather.
Question
What happens if the weather turns?
Answer
The ceremony will be outdoors, but relatively short. Tents and trees will provide rain cover. If you'd like to be inside after the ceremony, the Grange will be open. Forecast says around 60 degrees with showers. Come prepared with an umbrella, hat, jacket, blanket or anything else needed for comfort.
Question
What is welcome drinks and cocktail hour?
Answer
Mosier Grange DOES NOT allow alcohol consumption or tobacco use on its premises. We will not be allowed to stay if the Grange's by-laws are not followed. This event allows everyone to drink and enjoy themselves until the reception starts. Feel free to come early or just join us at the ceremony, but leave your flask in the car during the reception! Also, no smoking as the property is very dry and fire risk is high.
Question
What type of food will be served?
Answer
We will a have pulled pork and a variety of picnic food sides at the ceremony and reception. Please let us know when you RSVP of any dietary restrictions or allergies we need to consider.
Question
Can I take photos?
Answer
Of course! We would love if you would use our hashtag, #KevinLovesErika to post your photos after the wedding. You can also download the app, Veri on your phone or use our link, http://in.veri.com/to/erikakevin2018 to share photos from the wedding with us and other guests.
Question
How do I find the wedding location?
Answer
Google Maps and most GPS units are not able to use the address for Annie's Apricots as provided. On Google Maps, look up 8264 Mosier-The Dalles Hwy The Dalles, OR to find the location. Take a look at the directions on the "Travel" page to find the ceremony with ease!
Question
Is one of you changing your name?
Answer
At this point, we will both keep our given names. Who knows, maybe we'll hyphenate or make up a new last name one day!
Question
How should I contact you with further questions?
Answer
