Peter & Melanie's marriage celebration
Saturday June 25th 2005

We want you to have as much fun as we intend having, so here's some information to help you do just that.

Children
We deliberately haven't invited children as we believe everyone can relax better if they don't have to worry about them falling into the pond. If you're stuck, bring the little darlings along and we'll try to arrange baby-sitting - let us know by return.

Dress
Think "simple but sophisticated".

Confetti
Is allowed at the venue.

Contact Numbers
David - 07777 777 777, Helen - 07777 777 777, Jon - 07777 777 777, Adam - 07777 777 777.

Timings
The celebration will start at 3.45pm, however we would ask everyone to be there for 3.30 at the latest. Please bear in mind that the Goodwood festival of speed is on the same day and heavy local traffic is expected, so please allow extra time for your journey,  normally 45 minutes from Brighton.

Accommodation
As mentioned above, the Goodwood Festival of Speed is the same weekend and things are looking busy on the accommodation front, so we're recommending Brighton as the best place to stay. Most hotels and B&B's require a minimum 2 night stay which means you've got a great excuse to have a weekend by the sea.

Amherst Hotel: www.amherstguesthouse.co.uk En-suite rooms cost between £120 & £150 per night including breakfast.

Guest Information
Kylie and Adrians Wedding
31st December 2005

We thought we'd use the opportunity of sending out the invites, to also give you some useful information about the day. We're looking forward to seeing you there.

Dress
Knowing how difficult it can be to decide what to wear, particularly for a winter wedding, we thought we would theme the day to make things easier. And as it is New Years Eve, we thought that Black Tie would be most appropriate, so feel free to dress up and get out those dancing shoes!! Also, as the wedding is New Years Eve we have to confirm the numbers early, so can we ask you to RSVP by 31st July. Thanks.

Buffet
As the wedding starts at 2pm and many of you will have to travel, we have arranged a small finger buffet from 1pm in the Black Sheep pub which is next to the Church in Sleepy Crux.

Directions
To All Saints Church, Sleepy Crux

From the North - From the A40, turn left, then right, then left onto B367. Follow this road straight on for 4 miles and the Church is on your right hand side, just after the Pub.

From the South - From M40, take junction 15, then first left and second right at the rounabout. Follow this road to the cross roads and then go straight on for 2 miles. The Church is on your left hand side.

Children
We will leave it up to you if you want to bring your children or have a night that's child-free, just let us know in your RSVP.

Hotels in the area
The reception venue is an old country house and only has 4 rooms, so we have included details of hotels in the area for anyone wishing to stay overnight.

Travel Lodge - Junction 15 M40 Tel 0845 094 1311

Fielding Hotel - Markfield Lane, Peterborough Tel 01453 789 650

The Travel Lodge is the closest and largest of the two, as such we will provide transport from the Travel Lodge to and from the reception. Please book any rooms you require yourselves and let us know via your RSVP so we can confirm transport numbers.

Allergies / Special Diets
Can you please advise of any special dietary requirements in your RSVP.
