Please join us for a celebration of our marriage! 

WE ELOPED! – so, sorry you couldn’t come to the ceremony. But we’d love to see you, so we’re having a weekend celebration over Memorial Day weekend. See below for more details.

The Main Event: The Reception
Monday, May 27, 2024 from 3-6 PM (stop by whenever)
Jessup Farm Barrel House
1921 Jessup Dr, Fort Collins, CO 80525
Join us for libations, snacks, and dessert
Notes: 

  • This is super casual. Jeans, shorts, etc. are fine. 
  • Event is indoor/outdoor (weather permitting)
  • Adults only (see below if you need a sitter or somewhere for your teens to hang out during this time)

Other Events & Activities for the Weekend

In addition to the reception, we’ll be planning some other events and outings over the weekend. Join us if you want to or take a couple days and explore Colorado on your own. We’re thinking things along the lines of:

  • Taco bar and margaritas at our place – maybe Saturday or Sunday dinner time
  • Brewery tour day Saturday or Sunday
  • Easy hike to something local like Devil’s Backbone or Horsetooth Falls on Sunday or Monday
  • BBQ at our place??

There is tons to do here. Check out more info: https://www.visitftcollins.com/?locale=en-US

Weather

Colorado weather is typically sunny and nice. But watch the weather forecast when packing. The end of May can mean awesome temps in the 80’s – or snow! Either way we’ll have some fun things planned. Just be sure you packed accordingly – layers are awesome.

Childcare

Our daughter Riley is 15 and fully certified to babysit. She’d love to watch your kiddos and earn some spending money this weekend. During the reception, she will watch any kiddos at our home (3100 Placer Street, Fort Collins, CO 80526). Please reach out for this or if you have other needs over the weekend. ALSO – any older kids are welcome to hang out at our home during the reception. We’ve got video games, TVs, board games, snacks, and internet to entertain them.

Where to Stay

Fort Collins has many options!

  • The Hilton and Marriott are both close to our home. Both are a little older as far as local hotels, but still fine.
  • Candlewood Suites at 314 Pavilion Lane is brand new and nearby (but in a bit of an odd location as far as walking to anything or restaurants, etc.)
  • Any of the hotels along Harmony Road are good (Courtyard by Marriott, Residence Inn, Comfort Suites, Homewood Suites, Holiday Inn Express)
  • For a more local downtown vibe, romantic getaway, etc. – look at The Armstrong and The Elizabeth.
  • Avoid the Quality Inn on Mason and places on Mulberry/Highway 14 – they can be hit or miss, or just plain ick.
  • AirBnB and VRBO might be good options too.

Fort Collins is not huge – so you can stay anywhere in town and not expect to travel more than 15 minutes to get somewhere.

RSVPish: We’ll get around to formal invites at some point. But in the meantime…

PLEASE let Dave or Dawna know when you plan to be here – as we’ll need to make reservations, etc. for some of the items. And, please book early – this is high school graduation weekend here. The hotels “said” they weren’t going to fully book when we checked, but better safe than sorry.

NOTE: We’re probably going to need you to send your mailing address AND email address to us for the actual invite. Please and thanks!
