Can I bring a plus-one?
While we wish we could include everyone, our guest list is final and we're only able to accommodate those named on your invitation. If you have any questions about who is included, please don't hesitate to reach out!
What is the weather like in Sun Valley during the summer?
August in Sun Valley is beautiful! Expect warm days with highs around 78°F and cooler evenings that can dip down to the low 50s, so we'd recommend bringing a light layer for after sunset. Sun Valley is known for its crisp, dry mountain air, so it's generally very comfortable. The wedding will be outdoors, so keep that in mind when planning your outfit!
