Classic beach formal. Light suits, dresses, linens, and dressy sandals or wedges are all good choices; the ceremony may be on or near sand, so stilettos are not recommended.

We recommend staying at The Beach Club in Gulf Shores, the same resort as the wedding events.

Call 855 778 1015 and reference the Sockriter/McDonald Wedding or Group Reservation #408278.

Check-in is 4 PM and check-out is 10 AM.

Please reply by March 1, 2027 so we can finalize counts with the venue and vendors.

Please RSVP for the guests listed on your invitation. We are planning for about 75 guests and want to keep the weekend comfortable.

Yes, a rehearsal dinner is planned. Details are not finalized yet, and those included will receive more information directly. The beach bonfire will follow the rehearsal dinner.

No formal event is planned after the wedding reception.
