FAQs
Question
When is the RSVP deadline?
Answer
Please RSVP no later than August 1, 2024 either online through the "Register" tab, or via the paper invitation you received.
Question
What time should I arrive at the ceremony?
Answer
We ask that guests please be seated at the venue by 4:45pm; you may want to allow 10 minutes for parking either on the street or in garage(s) just around the venue.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Cocktail attire is appropriate for our ceremony and reception. August in Wisconsin tends to be temperate, but since we are hoping to divide our time inside and out, a sweater or light jacket may be advisable! The ceremony will take place on the lawn, so choose your heel style appropriately.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
When you provide your name to RSVP, you'll see other names associated with your party if applicable. We ask that you please only plan on bringing a date if they're listed on your RSVP. If you try to register and don't see your guest(s) name(s), please let us know and we will assist you.
Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
While your presence is truly all we need to celebrate, understanding you may wish to share a wedding gift, you can see some options through the registry tab on this site. A nod to our honeymoon in Aruba in September or a contribution toward the purchase of kitchen items would be great. Or - if you prefer to acknowledge our shared interest in supports for children, youth, and young adults with mental and behavioral health concerns, please consider a donation to JedFoundation.org. Thank you!
