[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll be the voice of dissent here, but I think asking people to make their own way is no problem. A true 10 minute walk (10 minutes by google maps, which if anything overestimates) is no big deal for most people. You can seek out the elderly or anyone for whom it will be an issue and provide them with transport.[/quote]

If you've ever walked 10 solid minutes, in the city (where all the concrete and asphalt just ramp up the heat more), in a DC summer where humidity is huge pretty much all day long -- you'd get why most people here are saying it's a bad idea to have guests do this walk. They'll get to the reception sweaty--yes, after only 10 minutes)--and feeling wilted. DC in summer, especially downtown where the OP says the wedding and reception will be, is especially hot. And what if it rains that day? Ever experienced a true DC summer storm? [/quote]

I can’t imagine how disgusting folks would feel after walking 10 minutes in dress shoes and clothes on a thick, wet DC summer day. Ugh.[/quote]
