Friday Night w/Friends
8:30 pm
1528 Frankford Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19125
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
A night out with friends and their guests, a pseudo bachlorette/ bachelor party. Suraya has a beautiful outdoor garden space and lounge with a fire pit to keep you warm, cocktails and wines pouring from the bar. Small plates are available until 11 PM. We have given the restaurant a heads up that we are coming but this is a casual event where guests can come and go as they please. Enter through Front Street entrance at the back Suraya! There is a parking lot for the restaurant too.

"Rehearsal" Lunch at Fiorino (Italian)
12:30 pm - 2:00 pm
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
This is our favorite Italian restaurant which is a BYOB close to where we live. We recommend carpooling.
Party in the Park
3:00 pm - 9:00 pm
5000 Hermit Lane, Philadelphia, PA 19128
Casual Attire: Anything goes, from sundresses and sandals to jeans and tees.
We live one block away from the beautiful "Daisy Field" in the Wissahickon Valley Park. The space is perfect for yard games (bocce/cornhole) with partial shade and our house is close by if you want to retreat inside for card games/cooling off. We thought this event would be a great opportunity for everyone to spend time together and get to know each other better. There will be light appetizers and drinks provided. Please refer to the email with detailed information for this event.

Christopher and Crystal's Wedding
4:00 pm
Formal Garden Party Attire: Wedding will be outside in the garden. Dinner will be inside/outside. Dancing will be inside.
We are getting married at Jansen, a beautiful restaurant with delicious food and a beautiful patio. We are excited about the local seasonal dishes they make (so beautifully plated that the photos could be artwork). We are doing a pairing menu (small plates paired with a petite beverage/cocktail/ beer/wine). We thought this would be fun as we love trying food and drinks as do many of our friends. We are looking forward to an intimate celebration with our closest friends and family! #LoveCandC2019 #Smithx2SayIdo #ThorsParentsGetWed #TeamSmith

Join us for ice cream at one of our favorite ice cream shops (approx. a block from our house "5442 Vicaris St. Philadelphia, PA). Grab some ice cream (you can drive through or walk up) then come over to meet our cat Thor and see where we live. We love our neighborhood!
Lazy River Rafting on the Brandywine River (updated event as of 8/29)
12:30 pm - 6:00 pm
1 Hoffmans Mill Road, Chadds Ford, PA 19317
Swimming attire, water shoes suggested. Pack sunscreen, water, snacks, lunch.
We will start the float at the Brandywine River Museum of Art and float to Thompson Bridge which is a four hour float. I have enough rafts for eleven people (4 rafts with backrest and mesh bottom, 2 inflatable kayaks, 1 boat for five people). Car wise: Chris could take 4-5 people, I can take 4-5 people...ideally we have at least one more vehicle driving. It is ~50 min drive from Philadelphia to the start of the river. We will all meet at the starting point, most people will stay to inflate rafts while others take vehicles to the ending point so we have a ride when we are finished our float. It is a really easy and relaxing float. Please let us know if you have any specific questions.
