A Journey Home, Wrapped in Love.
Whether you have known Grandma Violet for years or will be meeting her for the first time, we are honored to welcome you aboard as we celebrate the chapter she is closing and the new one waiting for her ahead.
We’ll Guide You In.
When you arrive, a member of our team will be available to assist with parking and direct you where to go. We appreciate your patience as we welcome everyone aboard and help make your arrival smooth.
Boarding begins at 2:00 PM.
Please Confirm Your Seat
We are preparing Grandma Violet’s final guest count and seating. After reviewing your boarding invitation, please reply directly to the email that brought you here with:
This lets us know you will be joining us on August 29.
Your reply is required for us to hold your seat.
Preferably All White
Our preferred look is all white. If you would like to incorporate color, please keep it to soft pastel shades. Think elegant, soft, refined, and beautifully coordinated. Please avoid bright colors, dark dominant colors, and bold prints.
Garden-party sophistication with a first-class farewell finish.
Bring One Fresh White Bloom.
As part of our farewell experience, every guest is asked to arrive with one fresh white flower. A rose, tulip, hydrangea stem, orchid, lisianthus, ranunculus, or another elegant white bloom is perfect.
Just one. It will become part of a special moment during the celebration.
A Blessing for Her Journey Home.
In lieu of physical gifts, we kindly request monetary gifts for Grandma Violet’s transition home.
After 21 years in America, Grandma Violet is returning to Nigeria to begin a completely new chapter. Because she will be traveling internationally, we kindly ask guests not to bring traditional or physical gifts. What will serve her most during this transition is something practical, flexible, and easy to carry home: a monetary blessing.
If you would like to honor Grandma Violet with a farewell gift, we ask that your gift be monetary rather than a traditional present. There is no required amount; please give according to your own heart and circumstances.
let’s give her something she can build with.
At the celebration, a special envelope will be waiting for you. Inside, you will have an opportunity to write Grandma Violet a personal message — a prayer, encouragement, a wish for her future, or simply a few words from your heart — and place your monetary gift inside.
Your envelope will remain sealed and private. All envelopes will be gathered and presented to Grandma Violet together as one collective gift for her Journey Home. A digital giving option will also be available for guests who prefer not to bring cash.
