Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We appreciate your excitement to celebrate with us! However, we have already accounted for all guests in our wedding invitations and RSVPs. Each invitation specifies the number of guests permitted. Unfortunately, any additional guests that are not included in the invitation will not be provided with meals. Additionally, bringing uninvited guests may violate fire code regulations, which could jeopardize the event and lead to the wedding being shut down. If you are confused or plan to change your original guest, please let the bride and groom know before the RSVP date. Please refrain from bringing any uninvited guests. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us ensure a safe and enjoyable celebration for everyone. Thank you!
