Question

Can I bring my children to the wedding?

Answer

While we love and cherish all the little ones in our lives, we kindly ask that only children from our immediate families join us on our special day. If your child is included, you will see their name listed on your RSVP. We hope this allows everyone to relax and celebrate with us. Thank you so much for your understanding!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to limited space and budget, we kindly ask that only those listed on your invitation attend. Our celebration is RSVP-only, and we’re only able to accommodate the guests named on your invite.

Question

What should I wear? Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code for our wedding is cocktail attire. Think colorful cocktail dresses, a suit and tie or a sports coat. The color scheme is not strict but it's basically any warm spring colors - like blush pink, olive green, chartreuse, orange, mauve, and raspberry. Florals or any whimsical pattern would be great too!
