What about
kids?
A very good question—one we’ve been thinking about for months!
Our children, along with the little ones in our immediate families, will be there.
Babes in arms are absolutely welcome.
For bigger kids, if you’re able to leave them at home (with supervision, of course), that would be our preference—we’re hoping to dance into the wee hours with you!
But as parents, we completely understand that this isn’t always possible, especially if you’re travelling.
If you’re coming from interstate and would like to bring your kids to Brisbane but not to the wedding, we’d be happy to help connect you with local carers.
And if that doesn’t work for your family and you’d like them to attend, just let us know in your RSVP, and we’ll do our best to accommodate them.
Now, a bit about the dress code.
As we’ve mentioned before, our dream is for this night to be an explosion of fun—think glitter, glamour, and a dance floor that never stops!
We’re taking inspiration from the late ’70s, Studio 54 & Soul Train.
But while we love the era, this is not a ’70s costume party.
So please, no rented bell-bottoms or stick-on chest hair—it’s not that kind of wedding.
Instead, think of that outfit hanging in the back of your closet. The one you bought because it was just too fun/glamorous/sparkly to leave behind—but you’ve barely had the chance to wear.
This is the night.
If you don’t have one of those, you’ve got time to find something fabulous.
And if sequins aren’t your thing, that’s okay!
Wear whatever makes you feel amazing and ready to dance the night away.
Let's say the dress code is:
Sequinned Cocktail
Dress to impress, have fun with it, and most importantly—be comfortable.
(For a little inspiration, here’s our mood board!)
Gifts
We know that simply getting to a wedding takes effort—the outfit, the travel, the childcare, the accommodation—so truly, your presence is the only gift we need.
But if you’d still like to contribute in some way, here are a few options:
• For the old-school gift-givers, we’re setting up a registry—because let’s be honest, it might be time to finally retire those IKEA pots and pans!
• For the experience-lovers, we’re planning an epic family honeymoon (destination still TBD—sun or snow?), and you could shout us a mulled cider or piña colada along the way.
• For those who prefer a simple gesture, there will be a wishing well at the venue.
Whatever you choose, we’re just excited to celebrate with you!
