FAQs

Question

The RSVP page isn't locating me. Help!

Answer

We suggest you search by both your formal and informal name and last name to RSVP. For example, search Pam and Pamela. The system will only find you if you search what we called you in the system. Still having trouble? Please contact us at josieandjordanb@gmail.com. We want to make sure your RSVP gets counted.

Question

What happens if I don't RSVP on time?

Answer

If we do not get an RSVP back by the date which we have provided (July 15th), it will be marked as a "No." We will miss you celebrating with us, however we have to provide a total guest count to our vendors within the time frame they have given us and cannot accept late RSVPs due to this. We hope that you understand!

Question

What should I do if I can't make it?

Answer

You will be missed! If you can't make it to our wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "No" so that we can plan accordingly. Please also leave a voicemail on our voicemail guest book by calling this number: (224) 444-9253. We'd love to hear your voice and words of advice or encouragement for years to come!

Question

What should I wear?

Answer

This is a semi-formal "garden party" event. We'd love to see all of your floral attire and bright colors! Please be sure not to wear spike heels as you will be in the grass. No jeans please!

Question

What will we be eating and drinking?

Answer

There will be appetizers, salad, wood-fired pizza, pasta, an entrée, and dessert! Please be sure to indicate if you have any dietary needs on the RSVP. We will also have an open bar.

Question

Where should we park?

Answer

The wedding is in a residential area so we recommend commuting with other guests or taking an Uber/Lyft/Taxi from the hotel. Street parking in the neighborhood is allowed, but to be courteous to our neighbors, please only park on one side of the street and do not park in front of fire hydrants or driveways,

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

The ceremony will begin at 5:30 PM. Please arrive with enough time to park your vehicle and find a seat.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We are having an "Unplugged" ceremony (no phones or cameras). During the ceremony, the best gift you can give us is to be present while we are saying our "I Do"s. We have hired professionals to capture this special moment for us, so please allow them to do their best work. After the ceremony, PLEASE take as many photos and videos as you'd like!!

Question

What if weather is a concern?

Answer

The ceremony is in the evening after the high sun has dropped a bit, hopefully making it cooler. Please feel free to bring a hand fan if you would like. We also have a tent if raining. If needed, you can speak to the home owner if you need to go inside for an air conditioning break.

Question

What entertainment will there be?

Answer

There will be a live band, a DJ, dancing, and lawn games!

Question

Bathroom Facilities

Answer

There will be a bathroom trailer provided.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Can I bring my kids?

Answer

Unless your kids are listed on your invitation, we ask that you do not bring them along. Similar to bringing a plus one, we are only able to accommodate those who are formally invited on your wedding invitation. Thank you so much for understanding!

Question

Will there be reserved parking for those that need it?

Answer

We will set out a few signs outside of our home for designated "handicapped" parking. The other option is to have someone drop you off at the driveway. A third option is we can always have someone come and park your car for you. Call or text (preferred) Laurie at 224-430-4070 prior to the wedding if you feel the third option will work best for you. She will connect you to someone who can assist.
