FAQs
Question
Are my children invited/do I get a plus one?
Answer
Due to our venue having a strict maximum cap on the number of guests, only the guest names listed on your invitation are invited to attend. You can also find this information by going to the RSVP section of this website and typing in your name - any guests who are invited with you will be listed there. If your child/children were not listed on your invite/in the RSVP section, know that we love them but we hope you can enjoy a fun weekend out without them!
Question
What should I wear? (Dress Code)
Answer
The answers below are stolen from a few different websites that did a good job explaining dress codes. The photo collage at the top of the page is a general idea of the wedding day black tie optional/formal dress code! We encourage you to have fun with your outfits and lean into a fancy evening for the wedding! That said, the ceremony will be outside (chairs will be on the grass) and dinner will be held in a (big/formal) tent that will be sitting on top of a stone patio (dancing will be inside), so floor length gowns may get dirty and tall/skinny heels may be difficult to walk in, neither of which are required! Welcome Party: Dressy Casual Women can wear a summer sundress, above the knee, knee-length, or tea-length dress, slip dresses, a skirt and top, or a nice pantsuit or jumpsuit, styled with wedges/block heels, or nicer flats/dressy sandals. Men should choose to wear dress pants or khakis paired with a collared or dress shirt. (Keeping in mind for shoe options that this will be held in a park with flat ground around the tables/food but also a significant amount of grass to stand in/socialize). Wedding Day: Black Tie Optional/Formal As the wording here suggests, this dress code is slightly less formal than a black-tie wedding. So, a tuxedo isn't required, but can still be worn if preferred. If opting for a suit, however, a formal dark suit (dark colored suits like green/brown are also acceptable if that's your style!), white shirt, and a tie are acceptable. For women, floor length gowns are not required, but it's preferred for you to wear tea-length/ankle length or longer, or a dressy pantsuit/jumpsuit.
Question
What is the welcome party?
Answer
We're hosting a welcome party on Friday night, and all guests are invited (and encouraged!) to attend! It will be a more relaxed event in one of Stillwater's most beautiful public parks overlooking the St. Croix river, with hosted food and coolers of beer and wine. Feel free to dress more casual than the wedding day (see dress code FAQ for details). You're welcome to stay the whole time or just for an hour or two, we just can't wait to get to spend another evening celebrating with you!
