Question
Are you registered? Where?
Answer
Your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for, but if you wish to give something, we kindly ask for a monetary gift instead of a physical one. If you click the "Registry" link above you can make a donation electronically, but there will also be a drop-box at the wedding for cards.
Question
What is the dress code?
Answer
The dress code is Garden Party attire. For masculine options wear a suit (with or without a tie), sport jacket, or button-down shirt with slacks or chinos (no tuxes, no jeans, please). Feminine options include floor-length or knee-length dresses, and dressy separates, wraps, or jumpsuits. Colors, floral patterns, and light fabrics are welcome! Needless to say, please avoid wearing white as that color is reserved for the bride.
