Q&A
Question
What are your thoughts on dress code?
Answer
We want guests to be comfortable! But if a "dress code" helps provide guidance, then: dressier side of casual. Cocktail dresses, sundresses, khakis, and collared shirts welcome. If you prefer (unless you like wearing them!), you could leave the gowns, heels, jackets, and ties at home.
Question
Where do I park?
Answer
For Wilder Mansion - There is ample free parking in lots north/south of the mansion. They have 90 parking spots, and we've less than 35 people attending our wedding (and the majority are taking the shuttle from the hotel). Address: 211 S Prospect Ave, Elmhurst, IL 60126 For 151 Kitchen | Bar - There are 2 surface lots and 2 parking garages near the restaurant. All permit lots and daily coin spaces are free on weekends. Address: 151 N York St., Elmhurst, IL 60126
Question

Question
Where do I list my allergies and meal requests?
Answer
We specifically picked 151 Kitchen | Bar because they are well reviewed for being able to safely accommodate allergies. If you have allergies, please add them to the RSVP question asking for allergies, and we'll take care of it, thanks!
Question
Is there a wedding hotel?
Answer
Yes, "Hilton Chicago/Oak Brook Hills Resort & Conference Center." https://www.hilton.com/en/hotels/chibhhh-hilton-chicago-oak-brook-hills-resort-and-conference-center/ [Please note this is DIFFERENT from "Hilton Chicago Oak Brook Suites" which is nearby] We don't have a large enough group size to get a room block, but we do have a coupon code for their website (gets you the same pricing as Hilton Honors) - let us know if you need that code.
Question
Are kids invited?
Answer
Yes, if the kids want to attend!
Question
Where's your registry?
Answer
We consider ourselves extremely fortunate to already have both everything we need and everything we want. Your presence is your present! (We are actively trying to own fewer "things" & have significant space-constraints, so truly, please don't get us anything!)
