The Chaplin Wedding

FAQs

Any questions you may have should be covered here. Please contact the bride or groom for any other questions before the day of the wedding.
Question

When do I need to RSVP?

Answer

To help us in our planning process, we kindly ask that you RSVP by August 10th. If we do not receive an RSVP from you, we will assume you are not attending and will not make seating/food accommodations for your presence. If you decide you are coming and the RSVP deadline has passed, you are more than welcome to still attend. Please let the bride & groom know as soon as possible, otherwise be sure to bring a chair and sandwich.

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

We’re so excited to celebrate with guests of all ages! Just a quick note: Parents are on duty ALL NIGHT. Please keep children supervised so that other guests are able to enjoy the night as well. We also ask that if you plan to enjoy a few drinks that you make other arrangements for your children. Anyone drinking while responsible for a child or simply not watching their children will be asked to leave.

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

Ceremony starts at 4:00! We suggest arriving by 3:45 so you have time to sign the guest book, find a seat…and avoid the awkward late entrance 👀

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Anything you are comfortable in as long as it’s not white or remotely close to white! Things to consider: - The ceremony & reception take place outside in October. -The pavilion has concrete flooring; everywhere else is gravel/grass -Our wedding colors are black & burgundy with a vintage/boho vibe-feel free to match the celebration!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

We get it- nobody wants to dance alone! We just ask that all plus ones be approved by the bride & groom before RSVPing.

Question

Indoors or Outdoors?

Answer

Both the ceremony & reception will be outdoors. Although it is outdoors, there will be coverage under the pavilion & event tent for the reception (and ceremony-weather pending). We also strongly encourage guests to bring a bag chair for those that plan to stay for the fire, as the rental chairs will be cleaned up at the end of the reception.

Question

Can I take pictures?

Answer

During the ceremony: Please keep your phones tucked away and your eyes on us- we promise we hired a professional with a much better camera. During the reception: You’re free to become full-time wedding paparazzi- Take all the pics,videos, and questionable dance footage you want!

Question

What should I do if I can’t make it?

Answer

You will be missed! If you cannot attend our wedding please indicate your regrets on our RSVP tab so we can plan accordingly.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Short answer: No. Long answer: We encourage you to bring a stocked cooler with the drink of your choice so you’re fully prepared to celebrate properly. (Please refer back to the “can I bring my kids?” answer if you have children & plan to enjoy the byob option)

Question

Wedding registry/gifts?

Answer

We’re planning an exciting adventure! Instead of physical gifts-as we already have a home together and have everything we need, please consider contributing to our honeymoon fund, found under the registry tab on our wedding website. If you do not have Venmo but would still like to contribute we will also have a card box set up at the ceremony & reception.
