Questions

If you have any other questions, please reach out to our wedding planner, Hayden, at hayden@parkcrestevents.com
Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We have done our best to invite all significant others to the wedding. The envelope to your official invitation will indicate whether you may bring a guest.

Question

Are children invited?

Answer

To allow all guests to relax and enjoy themselves, we have chosen to limit our special day to adults with a few exceptions for family members. We thank you for your understanding.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

The dress code for the day is semi-formal. We welcome both traditional South Asian and Western attire. The wedding ceremony and reception will be indoors, while the mehndi and afterparty will be outdoors. We recommend something light and comfortable. September isn't quite fall for Alabama. The wedding ceremony will take place at a mosque. We suggest men and women cover their arms and knees for this event. For women with sleeveless or short-sleeved dresses, the easiest way to cover is with a long scarf or cardigan. It is not necessary for visiting women to cover their head, although the gesture is welcome.

Question

Will a shuttle be available for guests to and from the hotel on the wedding day?

Answer

Absolutely! We have arranged for transportation to and from each of our wedding events. Please see the travel page for more information.

Question

Will there be vegetarian and vegan food options available?

Answer

Yes! All food will be labeled for allergies and there will be plenty of veggies.

Question

Will there be halal food options available?

Answer

Of course. Meals will be prepared only with zabiha meat.

Question

Are you registered?

Answer

Sort of! We prefer guests donate to our favorite charities, Islamic Relief USA and Save the Children, or contribute to our honeymoon or future home down payment. More information can be found on our “Registry” page.

Question

What should I do if I can’t make it?

Answer

You will be missed! But we completely understand. Please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP with regrets, so that we can plan accordingly.

Question

Do you have a wedding hashtag?
