We love your kids, really we do. But we wanted our wedding to be your night off. Help us make it a reality
Glad you asked. The hashtag for the weekend is #HøM (House of Maingi)
Formal Dress Code. There's a time and a place to look casual. For this event, we’re all purveyors of sartorial elegance, so dress the part. A point of consideration for the ladies, the grounds have a grassy surface while the reception area is paved. The PNW weather is notoriously unpredictable, have a plan before you head out for the day
Yes. Steeped in wedding tradition, the money dance is when friends and relatives take turns dancing up to the newlyweds and showering them with cash gifts. This allows the couple to spend a few moments with each of their guests. The symbolism behind this act is meant to act as a foundation present for the couples new life together. While encouraged, participation in the dance is optional P/S: The venue doesn’t have an ATM, so please make arrangements beforehand.
drink safe, dance safe, be safe. look out for each other
We wanted to limit the registry to the items we felt we would need for our household. With this in mind, we also put up some big budget items and set up a group gift system to help with this goal. In essence, a group gift involves the combination of individual contributions towards the pricier items on the registry. There is also a slot for contributions towards a honeymoon fund for those who would want to contribute a cash gift
hmmh...It all depends on the scale of formality, Maíngí had preferred to have a white tie event...gloves, top hat, and all that jazz. Njeri (in one of her finest moments...wisdom in layers), however, decided to steer us towards a just compromise. Couldn't don a tuxedo since the event starts before 6 o'clock (I know I'm extra....extra saucy eheh), so we finally settled on our own rendition of the formal dress code...somewhere between cocktail attire and the stroller getup.
