Reception
5:30 pm - 11:00 pm
340 Water Street, St. Andrews, NB E5B 2R3, Canada
This event is semi formal. Dress comfortably and festive. This venue has a grassy lawn and gravel area, so pointed shoes are not recommended.
Our reception is potluck style! We're providing a main dish, and we're asking our guests to bring sides. We'd love to get the recipe from you so we can relive flavors from the day throughout our marriage: we'll have recipe cards available, where you can put the recipe on the front and leave us a note on the back! In lieu of gifts, we would be thrilled to to receive a small financial contribution to our honeymoon. We're all set up for our lives together as a married couple, but if you already have a thoughtful gift in mind then that's good too! Here is the reception schedule: --> 5:30 pm Guests are welcome to arrive at Salty Towers, drop off your potluck dish and join us for a social hour from 5:30 - 6:30. --> 6:00 pm Bride and Groom arrive. --> 6:30 pm Potluck dinner and speeches. --> 7:30 pm+ First dance, dance party, grab a photo with the bride & groom, let loose, have fun!

FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
We'd be thrilled to receive your RSVP as soon as you can give it. This will help us adapt the potluck list as folks RSVP. Please RSVP by July 31st. Thanks!
Question
Should I bring a gift?
Answer
Not necessary! In lieu of gifts, we would be thrilled to to receive a small financial contribution to our honeymoon. We're all set up for our lives together as a married couple, but if you already have a thoughtful gift in mind then that's good too!
Question
I need more details on the dress code.
Answer
The dress code is technically semi-formal. We're hoping folks come dressed comfortably and ready to have fun. There are no suggestions on colour or style. Closed-toe shoes / shoes without a pointed heel are recommended as we'll be outdoors on the lawn.
Question
How the heck is this potluck dinner working?
Answer
We're supplying a heap of pulled pork and a veggie curry. We'll send along a spreadsheet once you RSVP yes, in which you can register the type of dish you're bringing to make sure we don't end up with 30 pasta salads. You are not expected to bring a giant dish to feed everyone - use your favourite recipe, and bonus points if you choose to double it. We'll have recipe cards and pens at the reception where we'd love to get a hand-written copy of the recipe you brought, with the option of adding a little note on the back for us to read when we inevitably make your recipe over and over.
Question
Am I required to bring a dish to the potluck?
Answer
You're not obligated to bring a dish. We are providing a pulled pork and veggie curry, and we're hoping many of our invitees will contribute to the dinner as well but we understand not everyone might be able to do so. If you're not able to contribute, please indicate that in your RSVP (no need to provide an explanation!). People who don't bring a dish are expected to dance twice as hard during the reception!
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We're not set up to accommodate your little ones. Thanks you for understanding!
