We adore you little ones! However, unless your children are listed on the invitation sent or are listed when you RSVP, we will not be able to accommodate everyone's children. We encourage you to use this event as a well deserved date night!
For this wedding event, we request that you please adhere to a formal dress code. For an untraditional touch, feel free to wear colors typically associated with the bride, such as white, ivory, and cream - in fact, we encourage it! To make our day even more personalized, we kindly ask that you please avoid wearing black, as this will be the color reserved for the bride and groom.
