FAQs

If you have any other questions that aren't answered here, please reach out to Ivy or Paul.
Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by Saturday, February 1st, 2020.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

You betcha! We're registered at Target and West Elm. You can also contribute to our honeymoon fund. All of this should be on our registry tab!

Question

Are babies and/or kids welcome?

Answer

We love you and we definitely we love your children (probably more than we love you), but this is a baby and kid-free party! Other than Paul...

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

You sure can. Please make that note when you RSVP or you can message Ivy or Paul.

Question

Am I invited to the ceremony or the reception? (Or both?)

Answer

Your invitation should be very specific. If there is a ceremony card in your invite along with directions, you are invited to the ceremony and reception. If you look in your envelope and see just a reception card, we'll meet you at Wakonda to party!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

There should not be a fee for you at either venue.

Question

Are there other weekend wedding events I should know about?

Answer

Duh! We'll be hanging out Friday night, and plan to have an after-party once the reception is over. (Full juicy details available on the Schedule tab.)

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the reception?

Answer

Unfortunately we weren't able to get a hotel shuttle for you guys - sorry! However, we suggest you download Uber and/or Lyft apps onto your phone and have them ready to go so you can travel safely back to your place of stay.

Question

Do you have a wedding hashtag you'd like us to use on social media?

Answer

What do you think we are... amateurs? Our hashtag is #SoenerOrLater.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

If you had a ceremony invite, it starts at 4 p.m. and you can arrive up to a half hour early. If you received a reception-only invitation, please join us for the reception starting at 7:30 p.m.

Question

Do you have recommendations for us while we're in Des Moines?

Answer

Check out our Things to Do tab!

Question

What time does the reception end?

Answer

We have to be out of the venue by 11:30 (and the party ends at 11), so please make your way to the after-party at that point. (Or your bed... totally your call.)

Question

Can we take photos during your wedding ceremony?

Answer

We appreciate you wanting to remember our special day, but we want to remember it as a camera/cell phone-free zone. Please refrain from taking any photos or videos and let our phenomenal photographers handle that!

For all the days along the way
