FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by October 31st on our wedding website by clicking the RSVP tab above.  If you cannot make it to our wedding, you will be dearly missed, but we completely understand and ask that you let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "no" so we can plan accordingly.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

We’d love to see everyone in cocktail attire! Ladies, cocktail-length, tea-length, or long dresses, and dressy jumpsuits are perfect. Gents, suits are encouraged, or dressy separates (think blazer and dress pants or a button-up with slacks)—please, no jeans. Dress to impress and enjoy the night!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We can't wait to celebrate with our closest family & friends, but due to our venue's capacity, we are limited to just those listed on the invitation. All invited guests will be listed on the formal invitation and will appear under your name when submitting your RSVP. We sincerely appreciate your understanding.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love your little ones and you’ll even see a few little ones in our wedding party or a few who are a special part of our celebration. However, if your children are not listed on the invitation, we hope you can relax & enjoy this evening as a fun date night dancing the night away & celebrating with us!

Question

WHAT IS THE ITINERARY FOR THE EVENING?

Answer

Seating for the ceremony begins at 3:30 p.m., and the ceremony will start promptly at 4:00 p.m. After the ceremony, enjoy a cocktail hour, followed by dinner, dancing, and celebration. The evening will conclude with a festive send-off at 10:00 p.m. We can’t wait to celebrate our new beginning with our closest family and friends!

Question

WHERE IS THE CEREMONY AND RECEPTION?

Answer

Both the ceremony and reception will be held at Magnolia Grove. The ceremony and cocktail hour will take place outdoors, weather permitting, followed by the reception indoors. December in Texas is typically mild, but temperatures can vary, so we recommend bringing a wrap or light jacket in case the evening is cool.
