FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We kindly ask that you RSVP as soon as possible. Your response helps us finalize all the details and celebrate with you!

Question

Do I need a passport?

Answer

Yes! Since our wedding is in Aruba, you will need a valid passport to travel. If you don’t already have one, we recommend applying as soon as possible. First-time applicants: Routine processing typically takes 8–11 weeks, while expedited service is about 5–7 weeks. Renewals: The same timelines apply, so check your expiration date—many destinations (including Aruba) require your passport to be valid for at least 6 months beyond your travel dates. We suggest submitting your application at least 4–6 months before the wedding to allow plenty of time and peace of mind. Friendly reminder: Even if you already have a passport, double-check the expiration date. If it expires within six months of the wedding, it’s best to renew early to avoid any travel issues.

Question

Do I need to complete any travel forms?

Answer

Yes! Aruba requires an online Embarkation/Disembarkation (ED) Card before arrival. You can complete it here within 7 days of travel: https://edcardaruba.aw

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Our dress code is beach formal—classy but comfortable! Flowing dresses, tropical colors, linen suits, or button-downs are perfect. Just leave the flip-flops and cut-offs at home and get ready to dance by the sea!

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

As much as we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. The hotel is family-friendly, so you’re welcome to bring the kids along for the trip, but we kindly ask that the wedding events remain child-free. We appreciate your understanding and can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Question

Are there any other events that I should know about around the wedding?

Answer

Yes! The celebration kicks off Thursday night with a welcome party - drinks, laughs, and island vibes included. After we say ‘I do’ on Friday, you’ll find us back by the beach for a laid-back post-wedding beach day on Saturday. Come hang, soak up the sun, and keep the party going with us!

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Yes! Our wedding resort, the Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino, is family-friendly and where we have secured a room block for our guests. We’d love for you to stay with us there!
