Question

I'm concerned about my health and safety as we navigate pandemic life. Can I expect most guests to have been vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine?

Answer

Our top priority is to keep our loved ones safe and secure. To ensure our vulnerable guests feel confident and stay healthy on this happy occasion, we kindly encourage our friends and family to consider being fully vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine two weeks prior to traveling. For non-mathematicians, your second shot should be done by November 6, 2021, We know this is a personal choice and appreciate your thoughtfulness.

Question

What precautions are you taking to keep guests and vendors safe?

Answer

We are working very hard to keep our loved ones (and everyone!) safe. Here are our current measures: 1. Hosting the entire event outdoors. 2. Embracing "physical distancing" for your level of social comfort. (Introverts: We realize this might be a perk COVID or not!) 3. Providing hand sanitizer. 4. Providing single-use writing pens for your virus-free wishes! 5. Asking guests to bring a spare mask. 6. Encouraging guests to receive the full vaccination dosage two weeks prior to traveling. 7. Inquiring with vendors (politely) on their vaccination status. Non-vaccinated vendors are being kindly asked to wear their masks. 8. Offering a plated dinner and working with the hotel on seating chart safety measures. 9. Asking guests to please stay home (even though we'll miss your sweet face) if experiencing COVID-19 symptoms. *With the new Delta Variant making life even more complex, we're encouraging everyone to keep up with the latest protocols and suggestions from the CDC and WHO.

What does the CDC say about traveling right now?

Answer

"CDC recommends delaying travel until you are fully vaccinated, because travel increases your chance of getting and spreading COVID-19. If you are not fully vaccinated, find a vaccine. If you are traveling with children who cannot get vaccinated at this time, follow recommendations for unvaccinated people and choose safer travel options." https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/travel-during-covid19.html

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

Well, since you're already so stylish, we know you'll look dolled up in anything you choose. However, cocktail and dressy party attire are just dandy. And let us just say, sparkle is always a good idea. (Said Jon, of course.) Beauties: Cocktail, maxi, or occasion dresses, or those chic jumpsuits or party pants you've been raring to wear. Also...beach-friendly shoes! Please dress to your comfort-level for walking on sand and dancing in the ocean breeze. Beaus: Suits, blazers, and ties. (Clearly, your favorite special event attire!) Oh, yes, that also includes pants! We know you're oh-so-debonair, and can't wait to see you show it off!

Question

What is the weather like in South Carolina in November?

Answer

According to hiltonheadisland.org, "November is one of the driest times of the year on the Island...Nearly every day in November warms to over 60 degrees, and if you’re lucky you may even experience a day or two in the low 80s. However, the temperature is cooling rapidly and can fall anywhere from a low of 49 to 32 degrees a few nights during the month. Plan around the forecasted weather and pack a few layers along with a warm coat to make sure you’re dressed for the variety of weather Hilton Head Island offers in November." https://www.hiltonheadisland.org/our-island/weather/november
