Your presence is enough of a present to us! But for those of you who are stubborn, we've put together a wish-list here.
Travel
Getting In
We recommend flying into Rome Airport, FCO Fiumicino - Leonardo da Vinci Airport
Getting from the Rome Airport to Todi
Please note, Todi is an estimated two hours from the Rome Airport by car or bus.
We will travel from Rome to Todi on Wednesday, May 22. Rental car or shuttle TBD
There are a few other options to get from the Rome Airport to Todi.
Rental Car:
-For those comfortable with driving, this is recommended. This will allow for flexibility to explore Umbria or other parts of Italy during your stay. Renting a car at the airport is quite convenient.
For this option, we recommend getting an international driver's permit, which is also quite convenient. You can walk into any AAA office. You do not need to be a AAA member. A U.S. driver's license is required. In mere minutes and for a small fee, AAA will prepare your international driver's permit. Most rental car companies do not require an international driver's permit, however, la polizia will ask for it if you are stopped.
Driving is on the same side of the road as the United States :)
Bus:
-Pros: Affordable and direct
-Cons: Longer ride
Taxi/Uber/Rideshare:
-Pros: Direct
-Cons: Higher cost unless you hire a shuttle for a large group
Convento San Giacomo, Todi, Province of Perugia, Italy
The venue includes 18 bedrooms and 15 bathrooms. We will privately invite close family members to stay on the property for the entire week, Wednesday, May 22 through Tuesday, May 28. Family with other travel plans, who only intend to stay a night or two or three in Todi, may be asked to book the hotel due to limited space at the Convento San Giacomo and to make room for others who wish to stay longer during the week.

Q & A
For all our friends and family who have lots of questions, please check out our Q & A first!
When is the RSVP deadline?
Please RSVP by February 10. We need this early RSVP date so we can assess room availability at the Convento San Giacomo for family attending and so we can finalize plans with the caterer.
Are kids welcome?
Dear friends, as much as we love your little ones, we do not have the capacity to open invitations to kids of friends at this event. Please know, we did consider this. However, since most of our friends have kids, if we opened up invitations to friends' kids, we would possibly have about 20+ kids at the event. This is just not what we envision for our special day. Thank you for understanding.
What will the weather be like?
May in Umbria is warm, think late Spring/early Summer.
Where should I park?
The hotel has a small parking lot. They have options for overflow parking as well, should their parking lot fill up. If you wish to drive to Convento San Giacomo on the day of the wedding, or any of the surrounding days to spend time with us, there is plenty of parking at the gate.
Please note, a shuttle is provided on the day of the wedding from hotel to venue and back to hotel.
What should I wear?
Please dress however you would like (within reason!) We did not want to choose a dress code.
For guidance, please note, the groom and groomsmen will be wearing suits, not tuxes.
Will you live stream your ceremony?
No.
What side of the street will I drive on if I rent a car?
Same side as U.S.! Driving in Italy is not much different than driving in the U.S.
What are some travel tips I may not even realize I need to know?
Please remember to bring an outlet converter for your electronics. This can be purchased on Amazon here: www.amazon.com/European-Adapter-TESSAN-International-Adaptor/dp/B07FJWLLDB/ref=sr_1_1_sspa
Which bus will take me from Rome to Todi after our flight (if I choose not to rent a car)?
You can select bus options from the Rome airport (FCO) to Todi here:
The bus stop in Todi is a 7-minute walk to the Hotel Fonte Cesia.
Will you have a stateside wedding celebration?
No but we are always willing to go out to dinner with anyone who wants to celebrate at home.
