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.
