If you are unable to attend, you will be missed, but we completely understand. Please R.S.V.P. "No" as soon as possible so we can plan accordingly.
Your presence at our wedding is the best present of all and we are lucky to have all that we need. However, if you'd like to get us a gift, we would appreciate contributions to our "Honeymoon Fund" would be greatly appreciated. You can find the link to our Honeymoon Fund under the Registry portion of our website and can be done via credit card, Venmo and CashApp. There will also be a Honeymoon Fund box located on the Gift Table.
The dress code is dressy-casual. You might consider bringing a coat and an umbrella as the weather tends to be fickle this time of year. The venue is an outdoor oceanfront property with lots of sand and grass. The dance floor is cobble stone-like. Choose your shoes wisely or go barefoot! IDC lol
We have hired a professional photographer to capture our special day and ask that you Do Not use your cellphones during the ceremony. However, you are welcome to take photos and videos the rest of the night. Please feel free to share your photos and videos via #wildforwatkins.
After we say "I Do," we welcome you to join us for Cocktail Hour where there will be beer, wine, and a nacho bar. **You are free to bring your own libations, as well** Listen for the DJ to announce the time to take your seat at the reception.
The bar will be open during Cocktail Hour following the ceremony, where select beer, wine and cocktails will be available. Also, we are allowing BYOB!
The venue is a smoke-free property. However, you're welcome to smoke on the beach or at laundry located across the pool.
Parking at the venue is somewhat limited. Guests that are not staying overnight in the hotel or cottages should park ACROSS THE STREET from Coral Sands Inn at the McClains Insurance Company parking lot. Just follow the signs to the wedding. If you cannot find the parking lot, please see the receptionist inside the hotel lobby.
We have reserved cottages and hotel room blocks for our guests at Coral Sands Inn. Please see our Travel page for more information.
Your invitation is addressed to those who are invited. If the invitation includes a guest by name, then yes. If not, please verify with Lexie if they can come. Although we would love to offer a plus one to all guests, we have a strict guest list to stay on budget and meet our venue restrictions. We appreciate your understanding and can't wait to celebrate with you.
Please plan on arriving at 3:30-3:45 p.m. to allow yourself time to walk across the street to the venue and find a seat or place to stand on the beach before the ceremony begins at 4:00
