The dress code for the wedding will be cocktail attire, but keep in mind this is an outdoor wedding, and it is Colorado. Lighter colors and more summery fabrics are perfectly okay. We suggest that men wear a suit (any color is acceptable) or a jacket and tie, and women wear a long, midi, or cocktail-length dress (no ballgowns necessary). A dressy jumpsuit or pantsuit works as well!
While we love your kids, the wedding ceremony and reception will be for adults only. Your children are welcome to all other events such as the welcome dinner and the park day. If you are in need of child care, you can request a local babysitter through CB Babysitters: https://www.cbbabysitters.com/

The town of Crested Butte sits at an altitude of 8,885 ft and if you are coming up in elevation, you will likely feel it. Take it easy particularly if this is your first time at high altitude, it is best to arrive early and give yourself 24-48 hours to acclimate. If you don't have this luxury of time, beware of certain things such as alcohol intake, or physical exercise that may affect you differently. 2-3 drinks at sea level = 1 drink at altitude. Hydrate like crazy to avoid altitude sickness!
