Stag activities

Highlands Go-Karting Adventure.
Get ready to race! We’re heading to Highlands for some go-karting fun — adrenaline, laughs, and a little friendly competition.
We've sorted bus transport from Queenstown, and we’ll be back in time to catch up with everyone at Smiths from 6pm.
Cost is $87 for go-karting plus maybe a few dollars for transport (we're working on that!)

Hen's activities

We’re booked in for a fab afternoon at Kinross Winery in Gibbston Valley from 2pm for a fun afternoon of pottery, wine, and snacks.

We'll do a pottery sesh where we’ll each make our own mug or dish. No pressure to be a ceramic goddess — just come ready to get a little messy and have a laugh.
Pottery is $50.

There's also an optional wine tasting for $25. Taste some great wines and get a glass of your favourite! 

There will of course also be snacks - can't have wine without the snacks!

Transport to be confirmed next week.

GIFTS

YOUR PRESENCE IS PRESENT ENOUGH

The most important gift to us is
having you share in our special day.
But if you wish to contribute in some other way.
We would love a few pennies to put in our pot,
for our honeymoon trip after tying the knot.
