Question

👶 Can we bring our kids?

Answer

We absolutely love your little ones and they are more than welcome! That said, the party isn’t particularly kid-focused - although the venue is more open and family-friendly with a small swing set nearby and trails to explore, there won’t be structured activities or entertainment for children. Just a heads up to plan accordingly and adjust expectations 😊

Question

🎁 Are you registered anywhere?

Answer

Yes! Here's the website: my.babylist.com/taraandtaylorallen It’s a mix of items for our newly shared home as newlyweds and a thoughtful collection of baby gear—some recommended by loved ones, others carefully researched to fit our needs and style. Feel free to use it as a guide or inspiration—and if you have favorite must-haves (for home or baby), we’d love to hear them too!

Question

📚 Can I bring a card or gift?

Answer

If you were planning on bringing a card, we’d love for you to consider a book instead—something meaningful, a favorite bedtime story, or one that holds a special place in your heart. It’ll go straight into our growing family library and we'll think of you every time we read it!

Question

👗 What should I wear?

Answer

Dress comfortably and casually festive! Think garden party, porch swing, or celebratory brunch—whatever makes you feel good. We’ll have a covered shelter and lots of open space to roam, but plan for time outside and dress accordingly.

Question
