Question

How do I RSVP

Answer

After formal invitations are sent out you will be able to RSVP here on our website in the tab above. The sooner the better since we will need to coordinate everyone's lodging before they arrive. Please RSVP by August 24.

Question

What if I don't RSVP in time?

Answer

If you do not RSVP by August 24, you will be marked as "not attending." We would love to celebrate with you; however, we have to provide an exact guest count to our vendors by specific dates and therefore cannot accept late RSVPs.

Question

Can I bring a date/plus one?

Answer

Due to our budget and camp restrictions, we are only able to accommodate a specific number of guests. Your invitation will be made out to "Your Name + Guest's Name" if a plus one has been given to you. With that said, if you do believe a plus one was accidently left off of your invitation, please reach out. Thank you for understanding!

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your children; however, we have decided to keep our weekend an adults only 21+ event.

Question

Are pets allowed at camp?

Answer

Unfortunately, Camp Namanu does not allow pets other than those that belong to the bride and groom. Brody and Reign will be in attendance and will be available to provide as many snuggles as you need.
