The Wedding Website of Valarie Strayer and Alexander Rojas
If you have any questions that are not listed here, please feel free to reach out to Valarie or Alex at any time.
Question

1) Reception Guests: Am I invited only to the reception and not the ceremony?

Answer

We are limited to the amount of guests for the Ceremony, Cocktails, and Dinner portion of the wedding, but still wanted to share our special day with you! Therefore, we extended Reception Only invitations out to those of you who we have on our current full event Guest Waiting List. If you received an invitation with a sticker that shows a 4:30 PM start time, you have been invited only to the Reception portion of our big day at this time. However, just know you are currently on our Guest Waiting List and we will be extending full event invitations if any current guests decline. If you received an invitation with a 12:30 P.M. start time, you are invited to the entire event which includes the Ceremony, Cocktail Hour, Dinner and the Reception. We are very sorry to those who we are unable to invite to the full event at this time, but hope you understand!

Question

2) Names on invitations envelope

Answer

Only the names on the invitation envelope are currently invited and accounted for in our Guest List head count. Please do not bring anyone additional without first speaking to Valarie or Alex. See question 3 regarding bring a + 1 guest.

Question

3) Can I bring a + 1 with me?

Answer

Unfortunately, we are unable to extend invites to plus one guests for everyone. Unless it states so on your invitation envelope, we are asking that only those on the invitation attend the Ceremony and Dinner. We would like our wedding to be as intimate as possible and our intent is to include all of our closest family and friends. If you were extended a Reception Only invite (4:30 PM start time), you may bring a guest. For those who were extended a full event invitation (12:30 PM start time - includes: ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception), you may invite your guests to the Reception and they may arrive starting at 4:30 PM. Please seek Alex or Valarie's approval prior to inviting any and all additional guests you would like to attend that were not included on your invitation envelope! We appreciate your understanding!

Question

4) Are kids allowed?

Answer

Only names included on your invitation envelope have been accounted for in our Guest List Head Count. Our wedding will be a NO KIDS event with the exception of our own and our immediate family (i.e.: our nieces and nephews). We are asking all extended family and friends to please enjoy an adult night with us! Please Note: A separate meal will not be provided to any child 2 and under due to their age.

Question

5) Why do I have to pre-RSVP by April 15th?

Answer

We have a Guest Waiting List - As much as we would LOVE to invite everyone to our wedding, we are unable to do so. In order to keep our wedding as intimate as possible, we opted for a smaller guest count for our Ceremony and Dinner. If you are unable to attend, we understand and we hope you understand as well that we would like to extend your invite to additional family. By pre-RSVPing, this allows us to do so.

Question

6) If I pre-RSVP by April 15th, do I have to RSVP again by June 15th?

Answer

No! If your RSVP status has not changed, your pre-RSVP will stick and we will go with whatever you selected. If you pre-RSVP'd as Attending but can no longer make it, please simply update your RSVP or contact Valarie or Alex to let us know and we can update your RSVP for you. Unfortunately, if you RSVP'd as Decline/Not Attending, you may not be able to update your RSVP as Attending as we may have already extended your invite to another family member. Please call or text Valarie and Alex and we'll figure it out for you!

Question

7) How should I dress?

Answer

This is a formal event. DRESS UP!!! Wear your Sunday best!

Question

8) What time should I arrive the day of the wedding?

Answer

Please arrive promptly at 12:30 PM. Do not be late!

Question

9) What happens if I arrive late?

Answer

DON'T BE LATE! For those invited to share in our I Do's, please do not arrive any later than 12:50 PM. The doors will be closed and locked when the Ceremony begins and you will be allowed in only AFTER the Ceremony has ended. We are scheduled to start promptly at 1:00 PM. Be there, or be square!

Question

10) Is the ceremony and reception at different locations?

Answer

NO! Everything will take place at Superstition Manor. This includes the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner, and reception aka the paaaaarrrrrr-tay!!!
