Question
RSVP?RSVP?
Answer
Please use the RSVP function at the bottom of the online invite, and if you include all of your guests/family unit (i.e children) that would be great. Just send us a message if anything changes 😊.
Question
Arrival Time?Arrival Time?
Answer
We recommend arriving 10-15 minutes early so you have time to find a parking space, say hello, and be ready for the ceremony.
Question
Parking?Parking?
Answer
There are public car parks near the ceremony location, but if they’re full, you may need to find street parking nearby. There’ll also be parking available at the reception venue — generously offered by the Whittle household!
Question
Dress Code?Dress Code?
Answer
Smart Casual. Think: nice trousers, skirts, dresses, collared shirts—whatever makes you feel comfortable and a little dressed up! No need for ties or ball gowns, but maybe leave the gym gear at home 😉 Please note: The ceremony will be on the beach, so wear shoes you can comfortably walk in the sand with—sandals or even thongs (flip-flops) are totally fine! We’re aiming for relaxed and celebratory—feel good, look good, and be ready to dance!
Question
Plus-ones?Plus-ones?
Answer
We have included everyone’s partners in the invite/group chats, so if you see their name there — they’re invited! 🥰 If things change or you’re unsure, just reach out and ask — we’re keeping it intimate, but we’ll do our best to make it work.
Question
Kids?Kids?
Answer
Yes! We’d love for your little ones to come and celebrate with us. They are welcome at the ceremony and reception. We’ve included them in the numbers by default, but please make sure to RSVP for them so we can get a final headcount.
Question
Vibes?Vibes?
Answer
Think laid-back and full of love. It’s a low-key celebration with good food, good music, and lots of joy.
Question
Food Situation?Food Situation?
Answer
Light lunch after the ceremony (platters & finger food), and then a big roast pig dinner in the evening—served with fluffy bread rolls and tasty sides. All casual, help-yourself style! (And no seafood—Tom insists 😅)
Question

We are also planning to provide drinks with various hard and soft (sugar & non-sugar) drinks available for everyone. If you have a favourite tipple however, you are welcome to bring it - and we won't even charge corkage!

Question
Gifts?Gifts?
Answer
Your presence is honestly the greatest gift we could ask for 💛 But if you’d like to contribute something, we’re saving for our honeymoon and would so appreciate a little help towards that adventure.
Question
End Time?End Time?
Answer
We’re planning to have dinner around 7ish, so if you need to head off early, things should start winding down after dinner. But if you’re up for a boogie, drinks and late-night chats, feel free to stay and celebrate into the night! Just note that we’ll likely head off before midnight (before we turn into pumpkins 🎃).
