Good Questions
Frequently Asked
How should I dress?
Desert formal. Think earth tones, light layers, and something you can dance in. Heels will sink in sand and gravel, so flats or block heels are wisest.
Is the celebration kid-friendly?
We love your kids and are keeping the celebration adults-only. We hope you can use it as an excuse for a Palm Springs getaway.
What about the weather?
Early February in Palm Springs: sunny days in the high 60s to low 70s, evenings drop to the 40s. Bring a jacket for the reception.
Will there be a shuttle?
To be announced. We will update this once the hotel block is set.
May I bring a plus-one?
Please check your invitation. If it lists a +1, absolutely yes.
