We ask that you please RSVP by September 2, 2023.
We ask that guests wear semi-formal attire. We ask that the men wear a suit or dress pants with a button down shirt, ties are optional. For ladies, a dress or dress pants would be great. Our wedding will be outside so we recommend wearing shoes that are comfortable. Cowboy boots are perfectly acceptable! We do ask that people do not wear white so as not to take away from Amanda's gown.
Average temperatures during late September in Virginia range from 55-75 F. September is not typically a rainy month, so we are crossing our fingers for no rain!
Kids are most certainly welcome! They are already included in the invitations that we have sent to you.
Unfortunately, due to budget and space limitations, we simply can’t afford for all of our lovely guests to bring a guest of their own. Therefore, we regretfully ask our guests to please not bring a plus one, unless one is indicated on the invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!
