Welcome to Ranja and Iiro's Party
We have been together for two decades, and it is time to tie our hands together. We want to invite you to celebrate this important day with us, because you are an important person in our lives.
On this page you will find information about the party, and a reply form, which we hope you will use to respond to the invitation by March 30th, 2025.
Very Important Party Business
Time and place
The day of the celebration is Saturday the 14th of June 2025
The party starts at 4 pm and ends when the last guests leave.
The event will be held at the Riimukivi farm
in Hurissalo, Puumala, and the address is:
Haukkoniementie 1
52230 Hurissalo
All guests are warmly welcome
from Friday June 13th until Sunday June 15th
Accommodation
Accommodation is possible in tents in the Old Yard,
on mattresses on the floor of the Old Cottage
and in a nearby Hotel in Sahanlahti.
A group price for the wedding party has been arranged with the hotel.
From the hotel, we organize a shuttle to the venue on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
and the shuttle will run from the venue to the hotel every hour from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Dress Code
As our party takes place on the border between the lands of the humans and the lands of the
forest folk, we ask that our guests will join us in their human form. Otherwise, the dress code is free.
Among our guests there are all kinds of forest creatures, fae folk and even a few humans. So we understand that not all our guests are accustomed to remain in their human form for long periods of time. So if among the partygoers you should glimpse a few feathers or scales, a tufted ear, a bit of lichen or even a tail, we don't fault anyone and understand that everyone has done their best.
As for your attire, your favourite woollen sweater,
a fantastic dress straight out of folk tales and a comfortable party dress
in the conventional human style in earthy and forest tones are all equally good.
(Also, no one should feel obligated wear a tail or add feathers to their costume, in order to make it easier for those who may have forgotten to hide theirs. All are welcome as they are.)
So put on your favourite outfit and come celebrate with us.
Please note that summer evenings can be a bit chilly, and the party takes place mostly outside.
Gifts
It is the greatest gift for us that you attend. We do not need other gifts.
If, however, you want to remember us with something, the most meaningful gift for us
would be to donate to the restoration of the Riimukivi Historical Farm.
With a small gift we can get a hand forged nail, and together
even little gifts can save a whole wall.
