Ultimate!
Event Theme

Andy and I got officially married on February 1st of this year, in a very small and informal ceremony. We would like to celebrate our marriage with family and friends on August 2nd, 2014, by hosting a pick-up frisbee tournament! This is pretty non-traditional, but it suits us perfectly.

We'll be gathering at Bryn Mawr park for a little pick-up frisbee tournament, frolfing, and general socializing.

Please RSVP to indicate whether you'd be interested in being assigned to a team and playing multiple frisbee games, if you'd like to sub in occasionally but do not want to commit to playing on an actual team for multiple games, or if you'd prefer to simply socialize and frolf.

We'll be using the RSVP information to determine whether we have enough folks to pre-form actual teams and set a round robin type game schedule. If we don't have enough RSVPs to determine this in advance, then we'll just play a couple games of pure pick-up.

Dress Code

Bring your favorite dark and light - we'll play rain or shine with the standard Ultimate caveat: if there's lightning, then the event is cancelled.

Wedding themed costuming is encouraged.

Travel Notes

If you have any difficulty finding us, please let Meg know at 612.518.2615 and we'll make sure you're directed to the right place. Please note that if you registered for Car 2 Go, you can use that service to get to the fields on Saturday!

Event Theme

Traditional formal dinner + dancing reception! Well, maybe not so traditional...

Take a chance: if you'd like to see Meg and Andy make out, please refrain from clinking glasses. Instead, step up and take your chance, but be prepared to accept the consequences. More details will be provided at the reception.

Please find your name tag and choose a table - seating is not assigned. Make sure to pick up a parking voucher as well, if you parked in the ramp.

Accommodations

Courtyard Minneapolis Downtown

We've arranged for a wedding block at the Courtyard near Downtown (on seven corners).

$109 for king bed with sofa pullout Room

$119 for double Queen bed rooms



Before July 1st, 2014:



You can reserve a room by calling (877-699-3216) or book online at www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/mspdc-courtyard-minneapolis-downtown/ using codes:



SEWSEWA (Double Queen Rooms)

SEWSEWB (King Rooms)



Indicate that you are with the "Meg Wedding" to receive the promotional rate for this weekend.



Check-in time is 3 pm and check-out time is 12 pm.

Transportation

You have a couple options for getting to the hotel from the airport and/or any other Minneapolis location:



1. Light Rail



The light rail (www.metrotransit.org/airport.aspx) has a terminal at MSP airport. Take the METRO Blue Line (Hiawatha) Train to the Downtown East/Metrodome terminal. When you are 2-3 stops away from that terminal, call the hotel front desk at 612-333-4646 and ask for them to send a shuttle (free) to pick you up and take you to the hotel.



Trains leave every 10 minutes from MSP during rush hours, every 10-15 minutes at other times. Travel time to Target Field Station is 28 minutes. For more info about riding the train, including payment information, click here: www.metrotransit.org/light-rail



2. Car 2 Go



Car 2 Go is Minneapolis' carshare program. You can rent a car for 38 cents per minute - much more affordable than a traditional rental car. That price covers gas/charge, insurance, any City of Minneapolis Parking fees (ex. you do not need to pay at meters when using these cars), and the rental fee all in one.



Please note that to use Car 2 Go, you need to pre-register several weeks in advance so that you receive your membership card in the mail before departing your home city. Note that if you register and pick Minneapolis as your home city for our event, you can change your home city later at no additional charge.



There aren't cars at MSP airport. However, there are usually cars at the nearest lightrail stations to the airport. You can use their smartphone app to see where the nearest car is, and reserve it for your use (you can make reservations up to 30 minutes before you plan to use a car).



Check out their website for more details:

minneapolis.car2go.com/



UPDATE:



I got us all a code that we can use to register for car2go for free. The code is "Street0030." Please feel free to use it if you are planning to register.

Gifts
Registry Note

We already have lots of stuff. We probably don't need more stuff. But we'd love to have more new and exciting experiences!



Accessing the registry via our website, as opposed to your smartphone, is highly recommended.
