Cocktail / Dressy Casual (Jeans are fine if that's what you're comfortable in)
We'd love if you meet us for a drink (or 5 - not complimentary, sorry) at one of our favorite beach breweries the night before our wedding. This will be immediately after the rehearsal dinner. The rehearsal dinner will be catered by Mojo's BBQ and we will order extra, but the leftovers will be on a first-come first-serve basis for Welcome Party Attendees. There will also be appetizers for everyone. Southern Swells does not sell food, but you can bring food in, or have food delivered. Mojos (BBQ), Gusto (Italian), and Mr. Taco (Taco Truck) are all within the same plaza if there is not enough food when you get there.

Whatever!
For those not leaving too early on Sunday, we will be hosting a Sunday morning brunch / goodbye party / pregame for the Octoberfest. There will be brunch food provided (quiche, fruit, bagels, muffins, etc) as well as whatever alcohol is leftover from the wedding! If none, BYOB! Tentative timeline right now is 11-2, however we might be there earlier and/or later and feel free to come and go as you please! We hope to see some of you there!
12:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Casual
For those that either don't have to work on Monday, or live in the proximity, we are planning on continuing the party through to Sunday. Jacksonville Beach Seawalk Pavilion (ampitheater right on the beach) is hosting Florida's largest Oktoberfest. There will be concerts all day, as well as food trucks for food and of course, beer. General admission is free, no need to purchase any tickets or anything. Just show up. We will possibly coordinate some sort of breakfast / brunch that morning, but nothing is set in stone yet.
