FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by August 20th.

Question

Can I bring a plus one?

Answer

Due to limited venue capacity, we are unable to accommodate plus ones at our wedding unless specifically indicated on your invitation. If you are unsure, when you RSVP and type in your name, you will see if you have a plus one reserved. We want everyone to share in the celebration and will ensure that folks will be around familiar and friendly faces. We appreciate the understanding!

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will begin promptly at 4:30 pm, so please plan to arrive by 4:15 pm at the latest.

Question

What do I do if I'm running late for the ceremony?

Answer

The ceremony will start promptly at 4:30 pm, so if you are running late, we ask you to wait inside the college club. The ceremony will be short, please do not interrupt. You will be joined shortly by everyone for cocktail hour!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is semi-formal. This means that suits and gowns are welcome, as well as cocktail dresses and trousers. No jeans, please! We also ask that guests not wear white or black.

Question

Will the wedding take place inside or outside?

Answer

Weather permitting, our ceremony and dinner will be held outside in the garden. Feel free to mingle outside or inside during cocktail hour; we'll finish the evening with dancing inside!

Question

Is seating random?

Answer

For the ceremony, feel free to sit anywhere (on either side of the aisle) unless a seat is marked reserved. However, we will be carefully arranging a seating chart for the reception. We know a lot of guests may not know each other, and we want to ensure easy and comfortable conversation for any guests who might have social anxiety (like us!)

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes! There will be a variety of alcoholic and non-alcoholic options.

Question

Will Shelby take Finley's last name? Will Finley take Shelby's?

Answer

Shelby and Finley have chosen to both keep their own last names. Shelby will remain Shelby Ragsdale, and Finley will remain Finley Barnes.

Question
