Bridal Shower (by invite)
4:00 pm - 7:00 pm
semi-formal/casual
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 are kicking things off with a welcome party so we can make the most of our time together—and give everyone a chance to get to know the venue! This will be an outdoor, uncovered event, so please dress comfortably and casually—think laid-back campfire vibes. We’ll have Spikeball and other yard games for a relaxed, fun evening. Please plan to eat beforehand, as we won’t be serving a full dinner— light snacks and non-alcoholic refreshments will be available while you mingle. Feel free to bring your own drinks if you’d like something specific to sip on. We can’t wait to kick off the celebrations with you!
