to r.s.v.p.

we absolutely love your enthusiasm! you’ll be able to r.s.v.p. here when we send out invitations next summer. if you already know you won’t be able to make it, drop us a line (and know that we’ll miss you)!

ceremony details

we left them off on purpose! we’re having an intimate exchange of vows with our immediate families right before the reception! we can’t wait to celebrate with you as husband + wife!

registry details

also left off on purpose! if you’ve been to our beloved apartment, you’ll know that it is chock-full of things we adore! if you can’t resist a gift, we’d be so grateful for your financial support of our future together.

cocktail attire inspiration

we want you to have an excuse to dress up—wear something you don’t get to break out often or buy something you’ve had your eye on for a while! while we envision dresses & jackets, we trust your judgement (& google)!

a preview of the dinner menu

for those like us who need to review the options before patronizing a restaurant—the sonny’s menu can be found here! we’ll be serving the highlights family style. get ready for the best caesar salad of your life!

to replace a forgotten toiletry

there is a cvs open til midnight across from the hotel. there is also an ace hardware that is worth walking through—you might find something you didn’t know you needed!

a last-minute manicure

carly loves enchanted nails on 18th & mye nails on columbia.

a pregame spot

save some love for the (very) open bar! but st. vincent is a welcoming wine bar & midlands is a classic beer garden. both are within walking distance of sonny’s & lovely places to spend an afternoon.

a postgame snack

there are several 24/7 options nearby! 7-eleven & mcdonald’s are right next to the hotel. further down 18th, you’ll find the diner with classic diner fare all night. there are a number of pizza shops as well, but our favorite is duccini’s (open til 4:00).

a +1 but they weren’t listed on my invitation

tell us about them! we can’t guarantee that we’ll have room for everyone’s guests, but make your case as to why they’d be a great addition and we’ll try to accommodate!

a +1 but i don’t have anyone in mind

we would love to set you up with one of our wedding-goers!!! let us know if you’re single and ready to mingle, and carly will (happily) get back to her matchmaking roots.
