Bridal Shower (by invite)
4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Semi-formal, garden/tea party vibes
Please note: This is a private event for family and close friends. If you’ve been invited, it will appear when you RSVP. We wanted to plan the bridal shower close to the wedding so all the wonderful women in Jynessa’s life — many of whom will have traveled from far and wide — can gather and celebrate together without needing to make a separate trip. As the bride begins her new life as a wife, she would love to learn from the women she admires. If you have a favorite recipe, dish, or treat, please bring it to share, potluck-style, along with a copy of the recipe as a gift. This way, she can carry your wisdom and love into her new chapter. Just let Chelsea (MOH) or Stacey (mother of the bride) know if you plan to bring something. If you’re arriving later in the week, no worries at all! We can’t wait to celebrate with you once you’re here. (For the girls only 💕)

Welcome Party
6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Casual Attire
The Bride and Groom have decided to host a welcome party to make the most of our time together — it will also be a chance for everyone to get to know the venue. The event will be outdoors and uncovered, so please dress comfortably and casually — think laid-back campfire vibes! We’ll break out some Spikeball and other yard games for a relaxed, fun evening. Bring some cash if you’re feeling lucky — the Bride and Groom also be hosting a few fun betting games to support their honeymoon fund (and there might just be prizes or bragging rights on the line)! Please plan to eat before the event, as we won’t be serving a full dinner. Some snacks and light refreshments will be available to enjoy while mingling. We can’t wait to kick off the celebrations with you!
