FAQs

Question

My friend wants to come but did not receive an invitation. Can i bring them?

Answer

As much as we would love to celebrate with everyone , we would like for our ceremony to be as intimate as possible. Unfortunately, there will be a strict invite policy. Only guest names who are printed on invitations will be permitted. Please do not bring any additional guests. As we get closer to the date, and plus ones are available, we MAY be able to grant your request. However, there is no guarantee.

Question

I have a child but only my name is printed on the invitaiton.

Answer

Come enjoy some me time! We love our little people more than anything, but just want to let loose for the night. We hope that you can appreciate our save the dates, to give you plenty of time to find a sitter. If you are unable to make it, we completely understand. But we hope to see you soon!

Question

How should I dress?

Answer

We will have a quick outdoor ceremony (in the Texas heat) and the reception will be indoors. The dress code will be casual and summery. We would LOVE if you wore any shade of nude.

Question

Will there be alcohol?

Answer

Of course! Libations for every occasion. Signature drinks and champagne will be provided. Cash bar to follow later in the evening.

Question

Do you two have a registry?

Answer

We do. Here on our wedding website, you will find a wedding registry. Feel free to contribute to any of the group gifts. As you know, we LOVE to travel and would prefer cash, gift cards, or any type of travel related gifts. Airline miles and hotel points will gladly be accepted.

Question

Are you considering COVID-19 while planning?

Answer

Of course we are. Safety first. Our venue holds more than 375 guests. We have invited less than 50% of allowed guests. Although the majority of our guests are fully vaccinated, we highly encourage everyone to wear a mask when not actively eating, drinking, or taking photos. No worries if you forget to bring one. We will have extras!

No. It is not. Formal invitations will be sent closer to the event. The formal invitation will list specific details for time, venue, and any additional guests on your invite.
