The Wedding Website of Maria Cotter and Ethan Washington
Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

We'd love to see our family and friends get dressed up for our big day! Dress code is formal attire. Ladies can wear floor-length, tea-length, or midi formal dresses. Gentlemen can wear a suit & tie. No jeans or white dresses please!

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Your invitation will specify how many seats have been saved in your honor.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

Children are encouraged to attend the 𝙬𝙚𝙙𝙙𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙢𝙖𝙨𝙨; however, we have decided to host an 𝙖𝙙𝙪𝙡𝙩 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 (18+) 𝙧𝙚𝙘𝙚𝙥𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 to follow, with the exception of immediate family only.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 2 PM. Please plan to arrive around 1:30-1:45 to ensure you have plenty of time to find your seat and settle in.

Question

What am I supposed to do during the Catholic gap?

Answer

For the 3 hours in between the ceremony and the cocktail hour, we recommend either visiting one of our favorite spots outlined in the "Things To Do" tab, napping, taking family pictures while in your formal attire, or even pregaming! We really don't care! As long as you show up for cocktail hour on time and safely!

Question

When is the RSVP deadline date?

Answer

As will be specified in your formal invitation, the RSVP deadline date is Saturday, August 1st, 2026. On 8/2/26, you will no longer be able to RSVP as access to the RSVP tab will be locked. As we are planning our NJ wedding while living in NC, it is pivotal that each guest allows us optimal time to plan our wedding from a far, please be considerate and timely, thank you for understanding.

Question

How do I RSVP?

Answer

Please click on the RSVP tab in the section directly to the right of the "FAQs" section you are currently in. It will ask you to RSVP for yourself or your entire party if applicable. Please fill out each section and be sure to press submit!

Question

Can I still RSVP after the RSVP deadline date?

Answer

If you did not RSVP prior to the set RSVP deadline date, we will assume you do not plan on attending and we will mark your party as a "no".

Question

What do I do if I have already RSVP'd "yes", but now I can't make it?

Answer

Please reach out directly to the bride or groom to notify them as soon as you are able. Alternatively, do not notify family or friends of the bride or groom without ensuring the bride and groom are aware first.
