What: A Party of Food, Games, and the best people!

Traditional Party things: 

  • Food Buffet Style: snacks to start, then a meal of comfort foods, including mac & cheese, salad, roasted veggies, pulled pork, chicken strips, a vegan dish, and we’ll be sure to meet your dietary needs

    For those that want to do more, in lieu of gifts, you can donate to local nonprofits we are involved with like Friends of Casco Bay (where Sarah has worked for over 14 years), Maine Afro Yoga Project, and/or Maine Needs. 

Why: To celebrate!

Let us know what questions you have. 

We can’t wait to see you on October 25th!

With love,

Dan & Sarah

What should I wear?
Maine Nice — Think "Lobster Dinner, but Make it Casual" 

"Maine Nice" is a bit like fog on the coast — it's hard to define, but you'll know it when you see it. 

Translation: Clean, comfortable, and a step up from your everyday attire.

What We're Wearing: Sarah's dress is casual-fancy, just right for her flats. Dan will be wearing a button-down and... wait for it... cargo-less pants. We know, we're as surprised as you are.

Do: Flannel, sweaters, button-downs, dresses you can move in, nice jeans/pants, and comfortable shoes (including Bean Boots – they're always a hit!) Bring socks for bowling!

Don't: Tuxedos/gowns (unless you're a fancy moose), ripped jeans, gym clothes.

Basically: Look good enough for a photo, but comfy enough to bowl and throw beanbags. We ain't fancy, just Maine nice.
