Question
Do I have a plus one?
Answer
We aimed to invite all significant others we are aware of, and that should already be reflected on your invite and RSVP page. HOWEVER if there's someone we missed, or come September, there's someone important in your life that you want to have join our celebration, please let us know.
Question
What is the dress code? What is the color scheme?
Answer
The dress code is semi formal, and not at all strict. We trust you all to wear something sensible, comfortable, and appropriate. Women should just try to avoid solid burnt orange dresses so you don't match the bridesmaids. COLORS: Fall colors. Our main colors are burnt orange, navy, olive, and gold. The bridesmaids will be in burnt orange dresses and groomsmen in burnt orange ties. ATTIRE: Loosely Semi-Formal. The bridesmaid dresses will be velvet. The groomsmen will be in tweed three-piece suits.
Question

Question
Did... did you type all the invites?

Question
Do you have a GIFT registry or just a cash registry?
