Belated Wedding Shower & Baby Shower Celebration

5:00 pm - 9:00 pm

Hosted at Our Home
19406 Scottsdale Boulevard, Shaker Heights, OH 44122

Join us for a laid-back September evening with good food, cold drinks, music, lawn games, and lighthearted shenanigans! Come as you are—sundresses, sandals, jeans, or tees… anything goes! 📚 P.S. 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!

Send us a Video Message!

For all near and far, we're putting together a special video montage to celebrate this season of love, growth, and new beginnings. We’d be so grateful if you could record a short video message (1–2 minutes is perfect) to include in the tribute. You can share anything that feels right to you: - A heartfelt congrats or well-wish - A funny memory or story from our journey together - Marriage or parenting advice - A favorite quote, poem, or blessing - What you're most excited for us - Or just a sweet hello—we’d love to see your face! Feel free to keep it casual or creative—whatever reflects you. We can’t wait to hear your voices and feel your love! It's easy to do!

Registry

🎁 Our Wedding/Baby Registry We’ve put together a collection of thoughtful items for our growing household—a blend of things for our newly joined life as newlyweds and baby essentials we’ve researched or received as heartfelt recommendations. While the list may look a bit exhausting, we know it’s far from exhaustive—we’re certainly not experts! Please feel free to use it as a guide, and if you have any must-haves or personal favorites (for home or baby), we’d love to hear them!

FAQ

Question

🕐 What time should we arrive?

Answer

We’ll be hanging out from 5 to 9 PM, and you’re welcome to come and go as it works for you! Appetizers will be out around 5, we’ll fire up the grill around 6, and plan to eat between 6 and 7. After that, stick around for drinks, music, games, and good conversation. No pressure—just come as you are, when you can!

Question

📍 Where is the event taking place?

Answer

We’re hosting at our home in Shaker Heights. The address is: 19406 Scottsdale Blvd, Shaker Heights, OH 44122 (We'll have signage and/or balloons to help guide you.)

Question

🚗 Where should we park?

Answer

Street parking is available all along Scottsdale Blvd and on all nearby side streets. Please be mindful of driveways and posted signage. If you need assistance or closer access, reach out—we’ll be happy to help.

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—we live on a fairly busy street and won’t have much in the way of structured activities or entertainment for children. If bringing your kid(s) is the only way you can join us, please do bring them—we’d truly love to see you and your whole crew. Just a heads up to plan accordingly and adjust expectations—it’ll be more backyard hangout than bounce house. 😊
