Updated: FAQs

Q: I want to bring something, but I won't know what I want to bring until closer to the day. Can I tell you what I'm bringing later on?

A: You can tell us your recipe anytime before June 9th. After that, we'll be making arrangements to fill in any gaps in the picnic menu ourselves. You can also change your mind about what you'll bring anytime before then. And if you find at the last minute that you can't bring something after all, it's quite all right, just send us an email to let us know.

Q: What if my food needs to be kept cold?

A: No problem, we'll have plenty of ice-filled coolers. Our wedding coordinator, Julie, will find space for your cold dish in a cooler, and will take it out in time to eat. She'll also be putting any leftovers in Tupperware at the end of the day for you to take home with you.

Q: Why can't I grill something?

A: We'd like you to be relaxed during the reception, not cooking. If all the recipes you like making need to be cooked, feel free to give us a recipe without bringing a dish. We won't mind at all, we promise.

Q: What if I can't/don't bring a dish? Will you still have enough food?

A: We will definitely have enough food! We'll be providing plenty to eat in addition to the potluck dishes that some guests are bringing. Please don't feel pressured to cater this thing for us. If you're finding this stressful, you don't like to cook, you can't access a kitchen, or for any other reason you can't bring a potluck dish, it's completely fine.

Q: Are you just saying you don't mind, but secretly you do mind?

A: Not even a little bit. We are not stressed about this wedding, and we don't want you to be. Please believe us. Pretty please?

We're registering for something a little different than the traditional toaster or mixing bowls. Instead of wedding gifts, we're asking you to contribute to our wedding potluck by bringing a cold dish you love to make, as well as sharing the recipe with us. Your recipe will go into our wedding cookbook, and we'll enjoy thinking of you and of our wedding day each time we make it. We'll also share the recipes we collect with you and the rest of our guests.

If you don't have access to a kitchen or can't bring a dish for another reason, please don't worry about it. You're still welcome to contribute a recipe to our book, or just show up: we want you there with or without potato salad.

If you'd like to bring a dish, plan on making about as much as you would make for a dinner party - something that will serve 6 to 8 people. We won't have heaters or grills available, so please bring something that doesn't need to be warmed up.

If you're planning to cook with us, please send us the following by June 9th:

• Name of the dish
• The recipe

You can send us your info through this website or by email.
