Thursday Night

Before bed, three things

  • Ice down the drinks in the coolers
    So everything is cold and ready for Friday morning.
  • Bring the beverages in from the car trunk
    The heat out there will melt the ice — nothing stays outside overnight.
  • Write the packing list for the rehearsal dinner
    Everything that leaves the house Friday goes on this list tonight.

Friday · Good to Know

The fine print of the evening

Drinks

Waters & sodas on us

Beer and wine are a cash bar — that's club policy, not a choice. Waters and sodas are provided.

Music

Band from six, open-ended

The band starts at 6:00 pm with no hard end time. The evening winds down on its own schedule.

The coolers

Three coolers, one trunk

Whether all three fit is still unconfirmed — test before Friday morning so 9:00 loading isn't a surprise.

Exit plan

Slip out early, guilt-free

Out-of-town family may stay late. Brandon and Kristin are leaving early — Saturday is the big day.

Before the Weekend Begins

Two open items, three reminders

Still Open

  • Packing list — tonight
  • Confirm the coolers fit in the trunk
  • Get the full schedule from Audrey
    Done — it's the evening column on the Saturday slide.

Worth Remembering

  • Beer & wine are cash bar at the club — waters and sodas are covered.
  • Leave Friday early. Others may linger; you two have a wedding in the morning.
  • Nothing stays in the trunk overnight — the heat wins every time.
