Theme is fall harvest farm party. “Dressy casual” or “farm dressy”? Darker hues & florals. Jeans are great! No heels, we’ll be on grass and dirt. Cider pressing can be messy but there are also bathrooms you can change afterwards if needed. Oregon in October might be a lovely sunny 70 degrees, or might be 45 and raining. Check the weather and layer appropriately.
Downtown Sherwood is less than 10 minutes from the house, with plenty of hotel options. We have a hotel block reserved at the Hampton Inn: https://group.hamptoninn.com/q3wr21
Please carpool if possible. There will be enough space to park for everyone, but we will have to get creative once we get more than 20 cars.
If you have any other questions, feel free to reach out to us or our parents
