Question

Gentlemen, feel free to break out the tuxedos and dark colored suits. Please refrain from wearing shades of white, ivory, or cream, as well as denim or sneakers.

Question

Since it's Halloween, can I wear or bring a costume?

While Elizabeth and Matthew love to celebrate Halloween, our wedding is a formal affair! We kindly ask that guests refrain from wearing costumes or themed attire. Instead, please refer to the dress code for ideas and inspiration for what to wear.

Question

When do I need to RSVP by?

Please arrive at 4:30 PM for a welcome glass of champagne before the ceremony, which will begin promptly at 5:00 PM.
