Think Summer Backyard Garden Party
We'd love to see everyone the night before for a welcome drink and to show you all our home. Due to space restrictions, we're generally requesting our families try to come between 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. ish and our friends come between 6:00 - 8:00 p.m. ish If you need to flip - no problem - swing by when you can. Transportation / Parking: Free street parking, but may require parking a couple blocks away if everyone drives. Approx. 20 min bus ride from downtown, but the Seattle bus experience is not for the faint of heart!
4:00 pm - 9:00 pm
No specific dress code, but it's mostly grass at the venue (besides the dance floor); Sarah will be in a slightly over the top dress considering there are chickens on sight.
We're planning for a quick ceremony at 4:30p ish ft. our cutie nephew & niece as ring bearer & flower girl, a heavy charcuterie board for a casual cocktail hour with yard games, family style dinner around 6:30p (fresh-caught king salmon, pasta, salad, homemade bread + something like chicken fingers & fries for the kids), followed by just an hour or so of dancing. We'll wrap up by 9p and adults will head over to Karoo (near Pike Place) for our early after party. Transportation / Parking: no organized transportation is set up, but there is a large / free parking lot next door for our use (at the Redeemer Lutheran Church) or uber (just 15 mins from downtown) if you'd like to indulge in Hugh's special batch cocktails hehe

Wear a swanky new fit, your wedding attire... or pajamas!
We think of this more as an extension of the wedding; 18+ aged guests - please join us! Friends will be DJ'ing a mix of our favorite electronic music. South African inspired cocktails, beer or wine, as well as late night plates (slides, fries, etc) will be available for guests to purchase. Hot Tip: the espresso martini is their signature. Transportation / Parking: 20 min drive from the wedding venue. Street or city lot parking available. Also just a 7 block / .5 mile walk or 5 min uber from the Hyatts
