FAQs
Question
What about Covid?
Answer
We totally understand if you don't feel comfortable attending due to the ongoing pandemic. We will miss you but fully respect your decision. That said, we are requiring that all adults and teens who choose to attend the ceremony/reception be vaccinated. Note: Both the ceremony and the reception will be outdoors, with the ceremony in open air and reception under a tent (but with open sides). Because of noise ordinances, the band will be inside the Francis Cope House, but there are these lovely giant windows that open from those rooms directly onto the porch, so you can also boogie outside without feeling excluded at all. We are also following the CDC and state/local guidance closely and will update our page as things change.
Question
Do I need to wear a mask?
Answer
Because we are asking that all guests who attend the ceremony and/or reception are fully vaccinated, you do not need to wear a mask. However, if you feel more comfortable wearing a mask, go right ahead! Also, see the above answer re: being outside. If the recommendation changes for vaccinated people wearing masks outside, we will update accordingly.
Question
Is there a registry?
Answer
Original answer: No--Gifts are not expected and we are kindly requesting that you don't purchase physical things for us, as we have no space in our home. Seriously, no space. Sam will literally start taking Sarah's posessions to goodwill without her consent to make room for any new things. If you are hellbent on giving us something, we will graciously accept contributions to help us buy our future home, or any "experiential gifts" for us to go on fun dates and trips. Updated answer: After getting some flack for not having a registry at all, we've created one to give some ideas of the things we like to do/would like to do around our city. There are also the very few things in our home that we already own but would like to update with nicer "lifetime" versions. They're expensive, so we've listed them as group gifts.
Question
Can I text/call Sarah on the wedding day?
Answer
No.
Question
Can I stay at your apartment instead of getting a hotel and give JoJo love and affection and food during the wedding weekend?
Answer
Sorry, someone already beat you to it.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
Don't look like a schmuck. It's a wedding.
Question
Sarah, are you changing your last name?
Answer
As wonderful of a last name as Lindauer is, I'm remaining a Stevens.
Question
Are my kids allowed?
Answer
Yes! We think its super cute to see them all dressed up and doing the boogie-woogie on the dance floor. Just note, there will be an open bar at the event. And weddings can be a great excuse for guilting the grandparents into taking the kids, so why not take advantage of the opportunity? If your kids ARE coming--please make sure to indicate that on your RSVP and let us know how old each of them is (Kids 13+ get an adult meal, 2-12 get a kids meal, and under 2 is up to you what they eat). If you need a high chair, also let us know that in the RSVP. The venue only has a couple, so it's first-come, first-served.
Question
OMG that stamp of the venue on your invites was handmade??? How do I get some more work by the artist?
