No. Javi will still be a de la Vega and Andrea will still be a Finuccio. Please and thank you!
Many of you are coming in from Florida or other southern states and should know that Washington, DC experiences fall. This means that at night it may be chilly. We recommend shawls, blazers, bedazzled leather jackets, or that knitting project you swear you will finish to stave off the chill until the alcohol kicks in!
The ceremony will take place outdoors, as will the reception. The only difference is that the reception will be under a tent. A tent is a portable shelter made of cloth, supported by one or more poles on which people will grasp and dance on after one too many.
Only after the ceremony. We hired a photographer after all and you all know how Javi is about photographers (your phones won’t cut it). We’d appreciate it if your phones were not around for the ceremony. But after that, take pictures to your heart's content!
We’re big proponents of non-heeled shoes despite our hometown. Also, the ceremony and reception are on a lawn, and heels have the tendency to sink into the ground. But if you want to wear heels, bring heel stoppers or flats for later - no pata sucias please!
If your invitation includes your little one then of course they are more than welcome! Did we not know you had a little one before we sent out an invitation? Well shoot us an email and I’m sure we can find a spare seat, coloring book, and cake for them.
Seeing as it is after Labor Day, we’d say avoid white all together.
If your invitation has the name of your guest or just says guest (because we either forgot who you were with or have lost the ability to spell) then yes, you can bring a date. Otherwise we promise to put you at a table where you will get along with at least three people.
Of course! That being said, if something like a small appliance or household item isn’t on the registry it might be because we already own it. But if you know it’s something we’d like (aka more books for Andrea or some photography items for Javi) then go for it. If you’re invited it’s because we know you and want to spend this day with you, so we’ll trust your judgement. If you’re worried, include a gift receipt!
Send an email to CasaDLVF@gmail.com as soon as you can and we’ll let our caterer know. If something can’t be worked out we’ll let you know ahead of time so you can stuff your suit pockets with shrimp if need be.
Yes, we are not in a Kevin Bacon film.
We’re Cubans, not monsters. Also open bar.
