There are three: Payment #1 (late June) covers housing, Payment #2 (late August) covers preplanned activities, and Payment #3 is settled after the trip via Splitwise for shared in-weekend spend. Everything except housing is an estimate. All formal, final payment amounts will be communicated through a group chat created after the RSVP deadline — nothing is due until you see the message there.
Flights run roughly $250–$400 and are booked individually. We highly recommend setting a fare alert or price watch now to lock in a good deal.
Charleston International Airport (CHS) is the closest airport. It's roughly 35 minutes to Folly Beach via Uber or driving.
There are three pricing tiers — own room, shared room (own bed), and shared bed. We used the information you provided in the survey to make sleeping and bed-sharing decisions. Assignments will be shared after the RSVP deadline in late June.
Beachy and relaxed, with our "Something Blue Before I Do" theme woven throughout. A detailed packing & outfit guide is coming in August.
