5:00 pm - 9:00 pm
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!
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!
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.)
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.
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. 😊
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!
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!
Dress comfortably and casually festive! Think garden party, porch swing, or celebratory brunch—whatever makes you feel good. If the weather allows, we'll be enjoying time both indoors and outdoors.
There are plenty of great hotel and rental options in the area. If you have trouble finding something that fits your needs, feel free to reach out—we’re happy to help point you in the right direction!
