Since most of our family lives in Minnesota (Haley) or Missouri (Kyle), we were very torn about where to hold the wedding so everyone would be able to make it. We both have loved ones who would not be able to attend a wedding if it was held 9+ hours away. Therefore, we decided to have two more casual receptions in order to celebrate with everyone!
We are having an open house event from 1 pm-5ish on June 24th. You can stay as long or short as you would like! We know Saturdays in the summer are busy and many families have multiple commitments with sports, grad parties, etc. This is an open house event so you can arrive at any time.
Since this is an open house event, there is no need to RSVP!
There isn’t a set dress code. The bridal party will be in traditional wedding attire (dresses and suits). However, we encourage our guests to wear anything they want, including casual clothes or normal summer wedding attire.
There will not be a ceremony during this celebration. Haley and Kyle will be getting married earlier in June, in an intimate ceremony with just parents and siblings present.
This event will be outdoors in Julie and Hugh's backyard. We will have music, games, food, and drinks. And most importantly, family and friends!
