FAQs

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail can be confusing. Not actual cocktails, but the attire, you know? What is cocktail attire for men? Basically, it's a dark suit and tie, but if you want to wear a lighter suit, by all means. Be yourself. Alex is a fan of funky socks, ties and the occasional pocket square. What is cocktail attire for women? Options include dresses and skirts, dressy blouses, and pants. Suits for women are all good, but we want to make sure you're having a good time. Floral patterns work too! But we want you to feel comfortable, so if those shoes are too high or that top button is too tight, let it all hang loose.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes, if not, we would prefer if it was just you. Who knows? You might meet someone!

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

We love your kids—we really do. But we want our wedding to be your night off! If you do decide to bring your kids for the weekend trip to DC, here are a couple websites where you might be able to find sitters: 1) Sitter City: https://www.sittercity.com/babysitters/dc/washington 2) Urban Sitters: https://www.urbansitter.com/find-babysitters/dc/washington

Question

What's the weather like that time of year?

Answer

Usually, weather in the DC area in August is hot, but gorgeous. It's normally a high of 80 degrees and a low in the high 70's. The cocktail hour will be inside/outside (weather permitting).

Question

When is the RSVP deadline?

Answer

Please let us know by July 1st if you can make it or not! Hoping for the former, not the latter.
