FAQs

If you have any questions, other than what's listed here, please feel free to reach out to one of us directly.
Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please kindly RSVP by July 15, 2024. IMPORTANT: Please do not fail to RSVP as we will be creating a seating chart for our guests and will also be giving the final headcount/guest names to our wedding venue for entry to the event. You will not be allowed entry if you did not RSVP "yes" as your name will not be added on the list.

Question

Should I RSVP if I'm unsure if I will make it or if I know I can't make it?

Answer

Yes. You will have the option to RSVP as "no" or regretfully decline. If you are unsure if you can make it, please reach out to one of us to notify. Choosing either one of these options will help us a great deal when it comes to managing our guest list. Please do not RSVP “yes” if you are unable to make it to the wedding.

Question

Can I still come if I don't RSVP?

Answer

Unfortunately, we can only accommodate those that RSVP "yes" by the deadline. If you miss the deadline to RSVP, please contact us ASAP. You were invited to our wedding and we would love to see you there. But please be mindful that our wedding venue will be charging us per person so we will have to give them the final count weeks prior to the wedding for them to prepare. If you are too late to RSVP or reach out to us, we sadly may not be able to add you on the list.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love all of the children in our lives, we have decided to keep our wedding ceremony and reception an adults-only event. Due to limited seating at our venue, we politely request that guests do not bring children with them unless they are named on the invitation and on the RSVP list. Thank you so much for your understanding. We hope this advance notice means you are still able to share our big day and celebrate with us.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Short answer - On time! 1:00 PM. Please arrive on time so you can grab yourself the best seats in the house and get comfortable before the wedding party walks down the aisle. Once the wedding processional begins, we will be closing all entry to the ceremony at the bride and groom’s request to avoid any distractions. Please arrive on time to not miss our special moment.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Yes - you can check out our registry right here on this website and gift towards our honeymoon fund. We've lived together for a little over a year now and have most of everything we need in the home. Because of this, we have kindly requested monetary gifts in lieu of physical gifts.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to limited seating at our venue, we kindly ask that guests do not bring a plus-one or date unless they are named on the invitation/RSVP list. Thank you in advance for your understanding.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We ask that you come dressed to impress. This is a formal event and we look forward to seeing all of your fabulous outfits.
