FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We kindly ask that you RSVP on the RSVP tab no later than February 1st 2026

Question

Do you have a registry?

Answer

Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift we could ask for! However, should you wish to honour us with a gift, a monetary contribution towards our future together would be greatly appreciated. For Toronto-based family and friends, cards can be shared before or after the Italy event, rather than bringing internationally. We will be leaving for our honeymoon right after the wedding celebrations, and will not have any space to bring physical gifts on our travels.
