Question

Can I bring a guest/child that was not listed on my invitation?

Answer

We are trying to keep our wedding as small as possible and would prefer you arrive only with those listed on the invitation's envelope. If you are still unsure, go to the RSVP section of this website, if you type in your name it will be listed which guests/family members are also invited with you. That being said, we are flexible and understand that sometimes childcare is hard to find or that you may be in a relationship we did not know about when invitations were sent out. If this is your case, please don't be afraid to reach out the bride or groom, we would rather you be there then have you not come!

Question

If I mailed back an RSVP, do I have to RSVP online?

Answer

Nope! If you have mailed back (or plan to mail back) the rsvp card that came with your invitation, you do not need to rsvp online. If you misplaced the rsvp that came with your invite or do not feel that you have time to mail it back, feel free to rsvp online (click the tab at the top of the website that says RSVP) ! Just be sure to fill out the meal option.

Question

I read on your wedding party page that you are having a self-uniting ceremony, what does this mean?

Answer

Andrew and Kaitlin have chosen to go off the beaten path and have a self-uniting ceremony. This type of ceremony dates back to the 17th century and found it's roots in Quaker tradition. It is now open to non-denominational parties in the state of Pennsylvania wishing to declare marriage to each other, instead of having an officiant oversee the marriage. Everything about the ceremony will be personalized by the bride and groom so that it is special and resonates with them. Andrew and Kaitlin chose this type of ceremony because they wanted to be sure everyone taking part in their ceremony was important to them and it felt right and more personal that they perform their marriage to each other instead of through a third party. They are very happy to have their dear friend Enver lead the ceremony to maintain flow, but there will not be a formal officiant involved.
