Casual Pub Attire
In Europe, rather than a weekend long bachelor or bachelorette party, it's common for couples to have 'stag & hen' parties, which are a one night celebration of the upcoming wedding. For anyone in town Saturday night that wants to participate, all the guys will go one way and all the girls will go the other, and we'll have a night of fun!

The bride & groom will be at a pub in Dublin for a few hours Sunday evening, and we'd love to see anyone that wants to stop by! This will be a very casual meet-up, but it'll be a great way to all spend time together before we head to the venue on Monday.
