Sat, Dec 2 @ 4pm at the  The Broad Ripple Brewpub . ...and now, for the rest of the story: Sorry to nag, but it would help us out a bunch  if everyone could return their RSVP card, even if they can't make it. It's how we know the final count and how we can make sure you get dinner. For y'all actually in the ceremony, we have a rehearsal scheduled for Sat, Dec 2 @ 1pm. We'll run through the blocking and ceremony and dances (I think).  Also, wedding participants (groomsmen, bridesmaids, etc.), we will have our rehearsal dinner at the Broad Ripple Brewpub  on Sat, Dec 2 @ 4pm. This place brews their own (pretty incredible) beer and is one of the most vegetarian friendly restaurants in town. For you non-vegetarians, they do meat dishes as well. Its vibe is very much English-pub (they even hav...

Us, waiting for your responses!   TL/DR:  RSVPs: We are looking forward to your response. ...and now, for the rest of the story: If you were expecting to get an RSVP card in the mail but did not get one , please let us know .  We are looking forward to receiving your RSVP response in the mail. Even if you can't make it, we are grateful that you took the time to consider the invitation and to let us know. We did have a couple of RSVPs get returned, because of bad addresses. If we know your card didn't make it, we'll reach out to you individually and collect your response.   Please reply as soon as you can. We need to know so that we can inform the caterer.  Also, don't forget to let us know who is responding. We have gotten a "yes" with no name 😉(not to worry though, we were able to figure it out).    Looking forward to partying with all of you!  D&B

 TL/DR:  RSVPs: Be on the lookout for RSVP cards. Please respond by Wed, Nov 1 !  No gifts: No need for wedding gifts!  The rest of the story:  Hey, everybody! We're mailing out our RSVP cards a little bit later than we had planned. Be on the lookout for them in your mailbox, the first week of October.  ⚠️We absolutely need the RSVPs back by the first week of November. ⚠️ We'll need your RSVP so we can provide an accurate count of meals to the caterer.  You'll get a card in the mail with a menu of food options (for the reception dinner). If you have more than one person coming, please use each person's initials next to their dinner of choice.  RSVPs will include a pre-addressed and stamped envelope.

We are well established in our household and have pretty much everything we need.  ...

 TL/DR: Survey email:  Be on the lookout for a kind of important email! The Thursday before: It's Bobby's birthday!  The rest of the story: Hey, everybody! We want to send out some RSVPs, soon. In order to do that, we'll need some physical addresses. Please be on the lookout for an email . The email will be from "bob@hauntedsock.com". The link goes to a survey. We will ask you (up to) 3 things: Are you coming? Where can we send you RSVPs? When do you plan to be here.  It would REALLY  help us out a bunch, if we can get everyone to respond.  If you don't see it in a couple of days, please be sure to check your spam folder.  Also, the Thursday before our wedding will be Bobby's birthday! If perhaps you happen to be in town, please let us know. We'll be planning a minor celebration (followed by pub trivia). Thank you!   D & B

You're looking sharp! (Less than 90days!)

 TL/DR: Dress code: We respectfully ask our guests to please dress as though they are going to an extra fancy restaurant or to church on a religious holiday.  Colors:  We've chosen dark green and black as our color theme.  Avg temps on Dec 3:  highs ~45F - lows ~30F. RSVPs:  be on the lookout for RSVPs in the mail (later in September). Now, the rest of the story... Hi, everybody!  The dress code for our celebration is 'nice'. Not 'black tie' nice, but 'semi-formal / dressy casual' nice. If you are so inclined to coordinate colors (but definitely not required), our wedding colors will be dark/forest/hunter green and black. The wedding will take place in December, and while it does get cold in Indy, it'll still be pretty early on in the season. There *might* be snow, but the average temperature in Indy for that time of year is somewhere between 45F and 30F. While the ceremony and reception will take place in one location, and will be completely indoors...
