Wednesday
What is a Polterabend?
A Polterabend is a German tradition held on the evening before the wedding. Family and friends bring old crockery, such as plates, cups, or bowls, and break it together for good luck. As the saying goes, shards bring luck. Please bring an old piece of porcelain or crockery, but no glass, mirrors, or tiles. Afterwards, we will sweep up the shards together. The evening is wonderfully informal: we will have drinks, eat, and celebrate the start of our wedding weekend together.
What to Bring
Pottery! Traditionally plates and cups are smashed, but toilet bowls and sinks are also common. If you're staying overnight, bring a mat, sleeping bag, pillow, and a towel. Chose the camping option? Don't forget to pack your tent.
Dress Code
Wear whatever makes you feel good! Keep in mind it's outside in the garden, so heels might not be the best option 😉
