Cicci and Andrew’s Wedding Day

Dress Code - Fabulous Finery and Fantasy

We would really, really, really love for you to dress up! It would make us so happy to see everyone in their finery, be that a nice suit, party dress, ball gown, historical outfit or your favourite larp kit. Hey, if you want to wear a wedding dress, go for it! There is absolutely no such thing as overdressed for this party.

Gifts

There is no obligation or need for gifts! Your presence is all we really want. If you insist we love cards and experiences – squashed bits of tree and invites to dinner are great!

Volunteering

We (read Cicci) would love it if you fancy standing up to make a small speech, a toast, sing a song, lead a sing along, perform some music or do anything interactive! We are hoping we might even put together a mini cabaret! Let Cicci know if you plan on doing something so we can schedule it in (but surprises on the night are welcome too).

There will be a piano, a djembe/cajon and a guitar to use or bring your own acoustic instrument.
