Question
What should I know about parking and getting to the cabin?
Answer
Parking will be available in a field just down the road from the cabin. We highly encourage guests to carpool whenever possible, as parking space is limited. Guests are welcome to walk down to the cabin from the parking area, and a golf cart shuttle will also be available if needed. Please note that the cabin is located in the woods and the ground is primarily dirt and grass, so plan your footwear accordingly.
Question
When do I RSVP by?
Answer
RSVPs are due no later than July 29th. Unfortunately, we will not be able to accommodate any RSVPs received after that date. There is a section to RSVP for the party and a separate section to RSVP for dinner. We will need a rough headcount for dinner, so if you plan on eating (we hope you do!), please be sure to select the dinner option as well when you complete the RSVP section.
Question
What’s the schedule?
Answer
There isn’t a strict schedule—it’s a relaxed, come-and-go celebration! The party starts at 4:00 PM. Dinner will be served from 4:00–6:00 PM, followed by speeches. Throughout the day and evening, we’ll have games, music, desserts, snacks, and a bonfire to keep the fun going.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
Yes! We’ll have an open bar for our guests to enjoy—cheers to celebrating together! Feel free to bring cash to tip our wonderful bartender!
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
Yes! Kids are welcome if they are listed on the invitation. We kindly ask that all guests 18 and under head out by 9:00 PM so the adults can enjoy the rest of the evening.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Not really! We want everyone to be comfortable, but think dressy summer casual. Summer dresses, skirts, nice tops, polos, button-downs, khakis, and similar attire are all great options. The wedding party and immediate family will be dressed a little more formally, so if you'd like to dress up a bit, feel free! We just kindly ask that guests avoid wearing white or jeans.
Question
Will there be dogs?
Answer
Yes—plenty of them!
