COVID Considerations and FAQs

Question

Will COVID-19 restrictions still be in place?

Answer

We simply won't know until closer to the events. While the rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine permits more "normal" gatherings, we anticipate at least some restrictions to still be in place depending on event location. This includes the possibility of requiring Proof of Vaccination. If Proof of Vaccination and face coverings are required to gather at the time of events (and the events can proceed as planned otherwise), we adamantly ask that you comply with state guidelines if physically able. Anyone who does not wish to comply with vaccine and face covering guidelines for gatherings for any reason other than medical/physical exemption is welcome to wish us congratulations via email or video chat. Updates about what requirements are in place for each gathering location will be sent directly via email at least 2 weeks prior to each event.

Question

Can I come to more than one of your events?

Answer

Yes! We want to celebrate with as many of our friends and family as possible. Although we are financially limited for the number of people invited to the main ceremony, anyone is welcome at either (or both) receptions taking place in Utah and North Carolina with an RSVP. We can only accept RSVPs for the main ceremony in Washington from those that received an explicit invitation.

Question

How do I know if I am invited to the Washington Ceremony?

Answer

You should have received a physical Save-the-Date and/or email invitation explicitly inviting you to the Ceremony. While we wish everyone with whom we want to celebrate could be together at a single event, we are prioritizing Ceremony invitations to accommodate Jeffrey's (extremely) large immediate family, Jenny's family, and a handful of friends. Thank you for your understanding and for allowing us an excuse to have three parties instead of just one!

Question

Should I let you know about dietary restrictions and/or possible accommodation needs?

Answer

Yes, please, we want these events to be as physically accessible and inclusive as possible! Please contact Jenny directly about this information with any pertinent details you are comfortable sharing via email at jen.hughes098@gmail.com. All accommodation requests will remain anonymous to other guests unless otherwise specified.

Question

Can I bring an adult +1 and/or my children?

Answer

For the Washington Ceremony: If we know you live in a household with your partner and your Save-the-Date/invitation were addressed to you both, we are considering you each other's +1s and ask that you do not RSVP for additional adults. If your Save-the-Date/invitation was addressed only to you, please indicate if you plan to bring a +1 when you RSVP. Children of immediate family are welcome at the Ceremony, but please note that alcohol will be present for adults. Please leave a note with your RSVP if you are bringing your children and how many that will be. For the Utah and NC Receptions: Yes! Please indicate if you plan to bring a +1 when you RSVP. Children are welcome at both receptions. Please leave a note with your RSVP if you are bringing your children and how many that will be. The Utah Reception will be dry while the NC Reception will have alcohol available for adults.

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

We are hoping for a timeless, woodland aesthetic in our wedding photos. We prefer guests to wear predominately earthy tones made of natural fibers (cotton, hemp, tweed, linen, wool, etc.). Attendees to the NC Reception are also encouraged to participate in the masquerade theme by wearing a mask. Reach out to Jenny and Jeffrey if you have further questions. Most importantly, wear something that makes you feel comfortable dancing and footwear that is suitable for walking in outdoor spaces.

Question

Can I bring a physical gift?

Answer

Jenny and Jeffrey will be traveling for the Washington and Utah events, so we simply cannot accommodate physical gifts. We strongly prefer donations to our Honeyfund. If you cannot be dissuaded from physical gift giving, we will accept cold, hard cash.
