Wedding Gifts

You joining us for this celebration, your love and happiness is all we need. We don't want you to bring us presents either in physical or monetary form because we already have everything we need. We do not want to harm the environment or society more than necessary by encouraging more consumerism. If you still want to give away something of monetary value, we present you with the following option:

In the reception hall you will find a number of boxes. Each box will carry the label of a not-for-profit charity. Please direct whatever amount of money you would consider spending on us on organizations that actually have a need for it.

Dresscode

Photos and "smart" devices

We want to avoid that our guests spend the time at our wedding staring at their smartphones instead of fully enjoying the party. We would just like to encourage our guests to keep their "smart" device usage to a minimum. Here is a list of reason why you should keep your devices in your pockets:

• you will have more from the wedding by not looking it at it through the lenses of your phones and cameras
• us and the other guests will have more of you by not seeing you distracted by your electronics

• there will be a professional photographer at the wedding: http://www.5gaenge.de

• you can contact us if you own a good photo camera and want to take pictures
• we ask all guests taking pictures to give them to us so that we can share them with the rest of you after the event, thus you don't need to take pictures yourself as you will be able to get those that others took

Food

At the evening a buffet will be served with most options being free from animal products as well as gluten. There will be some options with meat and some options containing milk, eggs and wheat.
