We thought you might like a heads-up on the entire weekend's schedule, so below is the list. Note that all guests will have access to picking up a brochure for the weekend that has all this info in it as well.
Friday, May 20
Since so many of our guests are here from out of town, we wanted to
ensure you had at least one evening to enjoy the charm of a late-spring
New Orleans evening on the town. - and tonight is that night!
Stroll through the Quarter, grab a bite at one of the fabuous restaurants, drink your fill at some of the local bars, and enjoy friends.
Unless, of course, you are the wedding party or essential crew! In that
case, your presence will be requested for the rehearsal and following dinner. Don't worry, we have left you plenty of time to paint the town
after you acquiesce to our demands...

Who: the bride and groom, their parents, maid of honor, best man, master of ceremonies, photographer, SoundMaestro, and respective dates who might be interested in attending

It's the big day! Since the festivities don't begin until evening, you have plenty of time to see the sights or sleep off Friday night's good time.

11:00am - 2:00pm, Trufant House, Garden District
1241 Philip (Phillip at Chestnut)
Who: anyone who wants to drop off a change of clothes for the After- Party or view the home
Since the after-party location is a family home in the Garden District, , we had a few requests from guests to see/tour it in case they didn't make it to the party. Though the house is not a Garden District "tour home," it is a lovely example of a lived-in family home and Will has graciously agreed to be on hand to show you around.
Also, for those who want to skip swinging by your hotel between the reception and afterparty, we invite you to drop off a change of clothes during this open house time.
