Question
What is "formal attire"
Answer
Formal attire offers a bit more flexibility than black tie, so tea and ankle-length dresses and dressy separates are acceptable, as well as darker-hued suits paired with a crisp white button-down and tie.

Question
When should I expect my formal invitation?
Answer
We are planning to mail out our invitations in the Spring of 2026.
Question
Who can I bring?
Answer
Your invitation will clearly state to whom the invitation is addressed to. This weekend will be an adults only celebration. We hope you may want to make a vacation out of this trip and we can help to coordinate child care during the festivities.
Question
Will there be other activities?
Answer
Yes! We plan to have welcome drinks for all guests on Friday night. We will additionally plan for some sort of send off activity for Sunday.
Question
How do I get around for the wedding activities?
Answer
We are formalizing the shuttle schedule as the weekend gets closer. Use this page to stay in the loop. Friday - please find your own transportation to the welcome party. You may be within walking distance. Please utilize Shelter Island Taxi if you are looking for a ride. Saturday - we will provide a shuttle from your hotel/coordinated bnb to the ceremony. The ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception are all at the same location (Ivy's childhood home). Following the main events, there will be shuttles back to your hotels and to the after party. Shelter Island Taxi will be available for late night rides. Sunday - please find your own transportation around the island. If we don't see you at the send off - that's OK, we will see you after our honeymoon!
Question
What is Baldwin Farm?
Answer
Baldwin Farm is the property/home where Ivy grew up. The property has been in her family since the 50s, and back then, you could find cows, horses, and chickens running around. Although now there are only 'wild' animals like turkey, deer, and squirrels, her relatives have affectionately coined the property 'Baldwin Farm".
