Question
Can I bring a plus-one or my child?
Answer
Due to venue constraints, seats are limited to ONLY the guests named on your invitation and what you have designated on the RSVP form. We cannot accommodate additional guests at this time. For the courtesy of the newlyweds, once an RSVP is sent, we cannot add guests back to a reservation, but we can remove a guest if they can no longer make it to the wedding. This is a long running event with alcohol present. If your child is invited but you are uncomfortable with them being exposed to this kind of environment, please leave them with a sitter. Additionally, for the safety of our guests, vendors, performers, and most importantly, your children; we expect children to be fully supervised by their guardian at all times. Thanks for your understanding!

Question
I have a dietary restriction, can you help with that?
Answer
Absolutely! We are in close contact with our caterer, so we can ask if our food items clash with your dietary restriction and let you know. Food will be served buffet style, so feel free to skip that serving and ask for another helping of something else!
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes! The dress code is formal. Think prom or a gala! ~Please do not wear white or adjacent colors.~ The ceremony and social hour will take place outdoors in December in Florida, so please dress accordingly. Sunglasses and a shawl are encouraged in case it gets chilly. Feel free to bring a change of shoes for dancing! The bride is going to change into some comfy sneakers probably halfway through the night, so no one is going to judge you for wearing converse with a dress (take that, Demi Lovato!) while you enjoy the party!
