What is the welcome party?
Answer
This is an event to welcome our out of town guests, and engage with those we love in a more casual setting. Everyone invited to the wedding is welcome to attend, but no pressure if you would rather rest up for the following day! We will be outdoors, so dress warm. There is a cash bar, with food available to order if you wish.

Question
I RSVP’d to the welcome event but can’t make it, what do I need to do?

Question
Are kids invited?
Answer
We love your little ones! However, we have decided to keep our wedding and reception an adults only event, with the exception of immediate family.

If you need childcare but are from out of town, there are several trusted babysitting services in the low country, as well as a facebook group called Charleston Area Nanny Network.
