Not exactly. Think of this much more as a “big celebration of our marriage”.
There won’t be a ceremony, seated dinner, or other traditions like a first dance. Aaaaaalso we may have already gotten married this past August.
Heck ya. A spectacular, one-of-a-kind party to celebrate our marriage!
The party starts at 7pm with a cocktail hour, light bites, and a few short speeches. The rest of the evening will be spent in standard Lindsay & Derek fashion: dancing our cute lil butts off with you all, our favorite people. You can see the schedule here!
This will be as celebratory as a wedding but a little bit more "our style"!
We’re calling it “Disco Cocktail” – we give you full permission to feel glamorous, fun, funky, and a touch fancy. If that’s not something that excites you, standard “cocktail” attire is also great.
What matters to us is that you wear whatever helps you feel ready to dance. Throw the concept of “wedding appropriate” out the window. If you want to go all out, we urge you to try and upstage us.
We'll have plenty of appetizers and desserts during the welcome hour and late night food for the afterparty. However we aren't serving a full dinner, so we recommend eating a little bit beforehand.
We only booked The Perplexiplex and Sips with a Z. This means that from 7pm-10pm there will still be general public exhibit-goers in Meow Wolf, but they will not be allowed in the rooms where our party is happening. This does mean, however, that you'll run into some "normies" when you arrive at the venue, when you use the bathroom, and when you move from one room to another for the beginning portion of the evening.
We intentionally organized this wedding event to try and be as convenient as possible for you, so there are no official events on Friday and Sunday. However, we will have some casual hangs organized, so you are more than welcome to join us if you intend on arriving early and/or leaving later!
We so appreciate your generosity, but we do not have a registry. Instead, we just ask for two things:
Attend this party and dance your ass off!
At some point in the evening, record and send us a short video of you having a good time. We'd love to be able to remember this party forever from everyone's perspective.
Yes! If you do decide to drive to Meow Wolf, feel free to use their parking lot.
After you park, scan one of the QR codes posted nearby and enter the promo code "DISCO" for free parking!
If you're not local to Denver, you've probably heard people say that the altitude is the real deal. And in some ways, that's true. It's not something you need to worry about, but a few simple steps ahead of time will help you be more comfortable.
Drink tons of water. It's easy to get dehydrated, so ensure that you're drinking water when you're here and also a few days ahead of time.
Wear sunscreen. Denver is literally closer to the sun than any other city in the US. You will get burned a lot faster, so be sure to lather up when you're planning to go outside.
Be mindful of alcohol. We don't want to discourage you, but your drink tolerance is probably 2-3 drinks less than you think it is when you're here.
Slow down. You'll probably notice yourself getting out of breath a lot faster than you normally would. Use this as an opportunity to relax a little and take deep breaths when you're out and about. There's no rush!
My incredible Product Designer husband, Derek did. It's the best ever, isn't it? (Lindsay wrote this one obviously)
