Gifts

Kate and Gustav are not asking for gifts and don’t have a registry, but if you feel inclined, these our organizations they’d love to support: Doctors without Borders, Boon Lott Elephant Sanctuary, World Wildlife Fund, or organization of your choice.

The Wedding Dinner

What to expect from a Swedish wedding:

There is no rehearsal dinner – instead, the wedding dinner will last several hours.

Speeches will be frequent (very frequent in fact!) and expected from both family and friends. They’re more often than not very entertaining and heartfelt, and it’s a tradition Swedes carry in their hearts.

Swedes like to sing traditional folk songs both in Swedish and English. Don’t stress out if you don’t know the lyrics, you will get a printed handout.

According to Swedish culture, the couples on the guest list will be seated away from each other during the dinner. There will be seat assignments at the door to the party tent.

Attire

Please wear what is comfortable since we will be outside! Casual attire will be best such as sundresses or pants and a nice shirt. In the evening, it will get a little chilly so bring a jacket or even a small blanket for later.

The Party

The event may on until after midnight. There will be dancing, games, an Irish whisky tasting, a night meal (served around 23:00) and more. If the night is warm, we might go for a midnight swim, so bring your swimsuit!

The worth noting that the sun does not set until after 10pm and it never gets really dark until the sun rises again at 4am.
