Practical Matters

RSVP:

As June comes to an end, and our wedding date grows nearer, we’d like to take this time to remind you to send in your RSVPs as soon as possible - certainly by July 18th. We need to let the Potawatomi Inn know how many people we’re going to feed!

Is your Invitation Missing?

We’ve done our best to invite all of our family and many of our closest friends. Yet we’re human, too. Maybe you’ve moved since we last spoke. Maybe your invite got lost in the mail or we sent it to the wrong place. Maybe we just lost your address, and couldn’t find you. Or maybe you’ve just misplaced your RSVP card. Regardless of the reason, it doesn’t mean we don’t love you or don’t want you here. We still want to hear from you and get things straightened out! Please use the Contact link at the top of this page to get in touch with us.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon!

Brenda and Woody

Presence vs. Presents

Since we are combining two households we originally decided not to register for gifts. Your presence at our celebration is really the best present you can give. However, due to the generous nature of our family and friends, I was urged to register somewhere so I created a wedding registry at Amazon.com. You can now log in to their site and search the wedding registry list for SumWin wedding or you can search by wedding date. If you feel the desire to provide a gift you will find a few ideas there. Not interested in online shopping? We also have several home improvement projects needed at both houses so gift cards for places like Lowe's, Menard's, or Home Depot are great choices, too!
