FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP for both events by May 21st so that we can have an accurate head count when planning for food and drinks.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to the ever increasing costs of weddings, we have to be quite strict with how many people can come. Please know that only those listed on the RSVP form are invited to celebrate with us on our special day.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Norway: We would love for your kids to join us for the ceremony and dinner, however, after cake, we ask that all children under the age of 16 head home as the theme for the rest of the night will be "house party" and we want all the adults to be able to let loose and have a good time without worrying about the kids. Minnesota: We invite all children of all ages to dance the evening away with us.

Yes, in Norway there is parking at both the church where the ceremony will be held and at the school where the reception will be held. Likewise, in Minnesota, there is plenty of parking at Rush Creek Golf Course.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We ask you to please arrive at least 15 minutes before the ceremony starts (13:15) so that you don't miss out on the ceremony.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Ceremony and Reception in Norway: We invite those attending our celebration in Norway to dress in formal attire. For men, this means a suit in any color - have fun with it! And for women we suggest you wear an evening gown or a midi- or knee-length cocktail dress. Bunads are of course welcome as well, but keep in mind it will be a party after the dinner, so if you wish to bring a change of clothes so as not to overheat or get your bunad dirty, we completely understand. Reception in Minnesota: We invite our guests in Minnesota to wear semi-formal/dressy casual attire.
