Cocktail, please. But we also want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is too tight, kick off your shoes for the reception and loosen the tie. However, if the tie ends up on your head, there may be pictures for blackmail ;)
Yes, there is plenty of parking at Shady Hollow; the ceremony and reception are at the same location.
While we love your kids, the only kids we are inviting currently is family members. If your kiddo is invited, it will have their name on the invite.
If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you.
