Oh, gosh. I wish we had all the funds in the world to have a huge party, but alas, we haven't won the lottery (yet). If your invitation says “and (long-standing partner),” then yes, (go with your stated long-standing partner). if not, we would prefer if it was just you.
We love your kids, but we want our wedding to be your night off! Let April or a bridesmaid know if you're stuck with making babysitting arrangements. Maybe there are other guests who have already set something up, and you can tag along?
Now. You're here, so now's good! Go to the RSVP page here, and just do it. I just want to make sure you're not stuck in the parking lot with home brought chair and sandwich (T__T) If you need a hard and fast deadline, it's Sept 1, 2021.
Garden wedding party attire, please. 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. Just keep the pants on. Yes, I'm looking at you. Actually, keep your shirt on too. ...Keep all of your clothes on. Please. This time.
