Short answer- no. Long answer- We chose to have a small, intimate wedding with just a handful of close friends and family. However; we still wanted to share this special time with those we care about and decided to throw a reception (our Happily Ever After Celebration) with all of our loved ones included. Think of our Happily Ever After Celebration as a delayed reception after our wedding.
Our Happily Ever After Celebration is going to be very relaxed, think summer barbecue or camping trip. Wear something that you feel comfortable in! The bride may or may not wear her wedding dress at some point during the day- but that doesn't mean everyone needs to be dressed formally.
Camping is not a requirement! We would love to spend the day before or the night-of with you, but only camp if that is something that makes sense for you. Entry to the park will be covered by the couple.
We will provide non-alcoholic beverages and food (of course!); unfortunately, we are unable to supply guests with alcohol. You are encouraged to BYOB.
