Attire: Dressy Casual with Fall Flair Our wedding will take place outdoors at a Michigan brewery during peak fall color—expect beautiful views, crisp air, and cozy vibes! We invite you to dress in dressy casual attire that’s stylish, comfortable, and weather-aware: • For women: Dresses, jumpsuits, or dress pants paired with layers like a sweater, shawl, or jacket. • For men: Button-downs, sweaters, slacks or chinos. Ties and jackets are welcome, but not required. • Footwear: Dress boots, flats, or comfortable shoes are encouraged—no need for heels on uneven ground. • Evening chill: It may get cool after sunset, so please bring an extra layer to stay cozy. • Personal touch: Fall colors and seasonal style are always welcome!
While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration (with the exception of a few invited kiddos and our own children). We hope you enjoy a fun night out with us!
3:30 so you can grab a drink, sign the guestbook, and get settled.
Your presence is the greatest gift of all. We’re incredibly grateful to be surrounded by such supportive friends and family. As two public servants—a firefighter and a teacher—raising a family and planning a life together, we’ve chosen to keep things simple and practical. Instead of traditional gifts, we kindly ask for contributions to our honeymoon fund via Venmo if you feel inspired to give. Every bit helps us create lasting memories together! Venmo: @Travis-Henley-4 (Last 4 digits of his cell are: 0712 in case it asks you to confirm) Thank you for your love and support—it means the world to us!
