Please Log inAs you enter the paved road to Bavaria Downs, you'll see a parking lot on the left hand side. Please DO NOT park your car here! Instead, drive right up to the estate and the valet will take care of you. Note that valet is complementary. You are welcome to leave a tip, but please don't feel obligated as it is completely optional.
Please wear formal wedding attire. You're welcome to dress in traditional Vietnamese or Hmong outfits.
Dinner serviced (plated meals) will begin during this time so please find your seats!
Another tradition that happens at most Vietnamese wedding receptions is the table visits. As a thank you and sign of respect, the bride and groom will make their way to each table and greet their wedding guests. The most significant family and friends will be visited first and a toast will be given acknowledging the most important person of each table. Once the bride and groom have made their rounds, the party officially begins!
The traditional Hmong string tying is a joyous ceremony that honors happy milestones, such as marriage. Family and friends are to tie white strings around the wrists of the bride, groom and often times, their parents. While tying the white strings, the guests can share words of wisdom and blessings. This is similar to western society when cards are given with little sayings, written words of congratulations, etc.
