FAQs

The Wedding Website of Merilanie Parinas and Ben Cragoe
Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

The sooner the better :) But please make sure to RSVP either “yes” or “no” by April 30th so we can finalize our guest count (we hope it’s a yes!)

Question

Plus ones & kids?

Answer

Due to space limitations, we kindly ask that only the guests formally invited attend. We have specifically addressed those on the RSVP section of the website. Thank you for understanding ♡

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

It is strongly recommended to dress out & show out! Think cocktail attire. Short dresses, long dresses. Neck tie, no tie, bow tie. All are welcome. If you have a barong, this would be the perfect time to see if it still fits. The celebration will be outside in an open courtyard, so it may be warm before the sun sets.

Question

Are we sitting down for dinner?

Answer

No, but there will be food! We’ll be serving a selection of passed hors d’oeuvres & a grazing table—come hungry, but maybe don’t skip lunch. There will also be an open bar for the duration of the event. Like the normal wedding cocktail hour (arguably the best part of a wedding), but with a DJ (the second best).

Question

Other questions?

Answer

Feel free to reach out to Ben or Merilanie personally with any additional questions :)
