FAQs

Question

CAN I BRING A PLUS ONE?

Answer

Due to our desire to have an intimate evening with those who are most important to us, and to keep it as close-to-budget as possible, we request that only those included on the invites attend.

Question

ARE CHILDREN ALLOWED?

Answer

We love your kiddos, but due to venue restrictions, we encourage parents to find a babysitter and enjoy a night out with us.

Question

WHAT IF I DON'T RSVP ON TIME?

Answer

We want you there to celebrate with us, and we look forward to creating core memories with you! We will send out a reminder to those who have not submitted an RSVP in a timely manner. Those who do not reply within One (1) week of the reminder will be marked as "not attending." While we will miss you, final guest counts are crucial to solidify our reservations with our vendors, and to ensure everything runs smoothly for us!

Question

WHY DID I ONLY GET INVITED TO THE RECEPTION?

Answer

Don't worry! You are some of our favorite people and our wedding wouldn't be the same without you there. In order for us to get the most out of the day that is all about our love, a reception will take place immediately following an intimate ceremony for us. We invite you to be there for our grand entrance, our first dance, and our first party as a Mr. and Mrs. You won't miss out on any of the details and the day will be magical.

Question

WHERE SHOULD I STAY?

Answer

Nestled half way between Olympia, WA and Vancouver, WA lodging is plentiful depending on where you're coming from and how far of a drive you're comfortable making. There are many airbnb options in Winlock, but we suggest staying in Chehalis, WA if you're coming from the North, or Castle Rock, WA if you're coming from the South! **There is a hotel block reserved at Best Western Plus Park Place Inn & Suites located at 201 SW Interstate Ave, Chehalis, WA 98532 with a discount for booking if you mention the Bolinger wedding**

Question

WHAT IS THE DRESS CODE?

Answer

Wear what is comfortable for you, but use this an excuse to dress up for a night! Consider a semi-formal to formal attire, and please no jeans, shorts, or hues of green or blue.

Question

DOES THE COUPLE HAVE A DIFFERENT REGISTRY?

Answer

YES! You can find our Amazon registry by searching Emmie Robinson & Michael Bolinger under "wedding registries" on Amazon, and you can find make donations to our Honeyfund at @Becomingabolinger on Venmo!

Question

WILL MY REQUESTED SONG GET PLAYED?

Answer

Maybe! The bride and groom will have a pay-to-play "banned" song list that the couple has curated. If a guest wants to hear a certain song and it's been "banned" by the couple, they can pay to have the DJ play it. Not only is this fun, this is a way to ensure things like Emmie doesn't have to listen to any Queen, and Mike isn't subjected to any T-Swift for a night. ;) *Banned songs will likely range from $50-$100 per song.*
