Extra Deets for the wedding party

Rehearsal Dinner

4:30PM : Rehearsal Portion

Meet at: Conservatory at Evergreen (get directions)

Dress: Whatever. Be comfy, but also remember your photo will likely be taken at some point. 😉

Note: leave early if you haven’t been to the venue before, it’s a little tricky to find. (look for signs. Once you turn at the final light, you’ll immediately turn left towards the storage facility and follow that road back. Keep going past the hoarder’s house until you see a gate, should be pretty straightforward again after that!)

5:45PM : Dinner Portion

Meet at: The Locale in Brownsburg, IN (get directions)

WHO: The wedding party and all immediate family members of the wedding party are invited, including spouses and children!

Special TY: to the groom’s parents, Gina and Guy, for coordinating & covering the cost of dinner tonight! Everyone is responsible for their own beverages, though. 😉
