FAQs

Question

Do I have to wear clothes?

Answer

Yes. Someone please remind Steve.

Question

Do I have to bring anything?

Answer

Just yourself. And a positive attitude. (Again, no gifts please.)

Question

Is this a kid-friendly thing?

Answer

Children of family members are invited to attend, as we love spending time with our (very large) family. However, we are not able to accommodate all guests' children and we ask that you contact Jess or Steve directly NO LATER THAN 2 weeks prior to the event if you have issues finding childcare or if you have a cool teenager who won't sulk in the corner-less barn the entire time.

Question

Your Key West theme was "over the top," so is there a theme for this party? (Please say yes.)

Answer

YEP! Our unofficial theme is "Patriotic Love Fest" in honor of our wedding and Memorial Day. It makes perfect sense. Please come dressed in your most obnoxious, ridiculous, 'Merica-loving patriotic attire. Or something that represents the essence of patriotism and love-festing. Or no patriotism, just love festing. Or be creative! Or just wear jeans and your favorite, corporate team building t-shirt from 2004. We just want to see your beautiful faces!

Question

Can I BYOB to this event?

Answer

Please help yourselves to whatever beverages we provide for you. Due to liability purposes, no alcohol not provided by the event hosts is permitted. However, if you want to donate booze because you only drink Crown Apple or make requests for specific drinks because you're extra, please contact Jess & Steve directly, and we'll do our best to help your boozy dreams take flight.

Question

Where do I park?

Answer

There will be additional signage on the day of the event to direct you towards the parking area located BEHIND the barn. If you are coming/going while the party is in full-swing, please make every effort to drive slowly and carefully. AFTERNOON GUESTS: may depart/exit at the MARKET entrance/exit (paved lot) so that evening guests may enter at the "Wedding Parking" entrance.

Question

If I RSVP for Afternoon Party time, can I stay later in the evening?

Answer

Of course!! We ask that guests RSVP for the time slot for which they will want to join for DINNER SERVICE. This is for the catering staff to prepare for late afternoon (4:30 pm) and dinnertime service (6 pm).

Question

Will there be food for the early afternoon crowd if we can't stay for the 4:30 dinner service?

Answer

YES! My goodness, yes. We'll have an assortment of appetizers (cheese, crackers, fruit, veggies, chips, pretzels, dips)--you know, the stuff that's helpful to munch on while drinking alcohol.

Question

Can I bring outdoor chairs, a pop-up tent for shade or a camper?

Answer

Yes, please feel free to bring bag chairs and/or a small tent for shade to sit outside during the day. If you'd like to drive a camper, pop-up or motorhome to park on site for passing out purposes, please contact Jess or Steve for those arrangements. We can only allow so many vehicles overnight (no electrical hook-ups available), but we'd rather be safe than sorry!

Question

Will there be yard games and stuff?

Answer

Yep! Although you can't BYOB, you CAN BYO yard games!

Question

Will there be DJ entertainment or music?

Answer

Of course! Who do you think we are, amateurs?!

Question

Will there be a bouncy house?

Answer

That's a great question. If you're committed to bouncy houses, please personally text Steve and peer pressure him until he can't stand it anymore. It would be fantastic if everyone began randomly asking him about a bouncy house because I doubt he'll read all of the "FAQs" for this website and won't know why everyone is so interested in a damn bouncy house.

Question

I can't be there RIGHT at the start of the event, so I can come whenever?

Answer

Yes. Yes you can. But please remember there are TWO dinner service times, and so just pick which time slot you'd want to eat dinner, you beautiful, rainbow jellybean unicorn butterfly, you.

Question

I'm confused by the internet and don't know what's going on.

Answer

Try unplugging and plugging it back in again.
