FAQs
Question
How do I RSVP? & what happens if I don't RSVP in time?
Answer
Please click the RSVP tab above! Reminder to RSVP no later than Friday, August 1st. If you do not RSVP by August 1st, you will be marked as 'will not attend.' Final numbers are due to our vendors, & we will not be able to make any concessions for guests that miss the RSVP deadline.
Question
What should I do if I can't make it?
Answer
We will miss you dearly! If you cannot attend our wedding, please indicate that you will not attend on the RSVP tab above. If you have already RSVP'd 'will attend,' but find that you can no longer make it, please notify Ava or Nick as soon as possible.
Question
Can I bring my children? Or a plus one?
Answer
We are only able to accommodate guests that are formally listed on your wedding invitation. Your invite will be made out to '(Your Name) & Guest' if a plus one has been reserved for you. Similarly, your invite will be made out to 'The (Your Name) Family' if the whole crew is invited. All invited guests will be explicitly listed when you RSVP via the tab above. Due to space limitations, those not listed are asked to not attend.
Question
Where should I stay?
Answer
Our ceremony, cocktail hour & reception are all taking place at The Bardot in the Crossroads District in Downtown Kansas City, MO. We suggest you stay at any of the hotels near the venue listed on the 'Travel' page above, or we welcome you to look into Airbnb listings nearby. There are plenty of great options within walking distance!
Question
Is parking available?
Answer
Our venue has limited parking spaces, & therefore, we highly suggest you call a ride share rather than driving your own car. Additionally, we will have an open bar & hope that you all are able to thoroughly enjoy it. If driving is a must, there are a number of paid spaces near the venue & throughout Downtown Kansas City.
Question
Is the wedding outside?
Answer
The ceremony & reception will take place indoors. Weather permitting, cocktail hour will be on the roof. We suggest bringing some sunglasses!
Question
What is the timeline?
Answer
Our ceremony will begin promptly at 6:00 p.m. Any guests that arrive after 6:00 p.m. will be asked to wait in the lobby until cocktail hour begins. We encourage you to arrive early! Cocktail hour will take place from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., followed by dinner, dancing & lots of drinks at the reception. Doors close at 12:00 a.m. so be sure to stick around all evening!
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
Dress code is formal attire. Gals can wear floor-length, tea-length or midi dresses. Gents can wear a suit & a tie (or a bow tie or even no tie). Our bridal party will be wearing an array of colors, so ladies, don't worry about wearing the same dress as a bridesmaid :-) As per usual, please avoid wearing white/ivory/champagne/cream or any other hues typically reserved for the bride.
Question
I have more questions!
Answer
No problem! Please reach out to Ava or Nick directly with any additional questions, comments or concerns. We can't wait to celebrate with you soon!!!
