Please let us know by May 15th, 2019.
Yes.
We don't-- please just give us the gift of coming to our wedding (for some of you, a pretty significant trip)! Let's be honest, our cozy little house can't hold more stuff, anyhow, and we feel pretty fortunate to have what we need. If you truly feel the need to get us a gift, please donate to a charity of your choosing, and share who you donated to with us!
Salem is around 150,000 people and is a lovely city. It's easy to navigate and doesn't feel super big, but it's big enough to have a lot to do and plenty of tasty spots to eat.
If you're flying into PDX, you'll need a way to get to Salem. The HUT Portland Airport Shuttle (going from PDX to Salem) is relatively economical, so if you're not planning on doing a lot of driving once you arrive in Salem, then you would be ok without a car. You can catch the hotel shuttle to Pringle Park, if you're at Comfort Suites or The Grand, or you can easily Uber/Lyft to Pringle, or even walk if you're staying at the Grand Hotel. We're also working on an easy way to get those without cars to Minto-Brown on Saturday morning-- let us know in your RSVP if you would like transportation there! Long story short-- renting a car will make life a bit easier, but it's not completely necessary. We wish there were a closer airport... sorry :/ please let us know if there's anything we can do to help coordinate you getting to Salem!
Yes please! They should be included in your party when you RSVP. If they're not, feel free to send us increasingly angry texts or emails.
Absolutely!
We will have the ceremony and tables/chairs outside, but we'll have a large tent to provide shade, and the Community Hall has restrooms, a full kitchen, and a large dance room.
I guess you'll have to wait and see. Consider your choices carefully.
