FAQs
Question
How do I RSVP?
Answer
Please click on the "RSVP" tab at the top of the page to let us know if you're coming! The deadline to RSVP is September 30th, 2025.
Question
What if I cannot make the event?
Answer
We'll miss you! In your RSVP, please select that you will not attend so we have an accurate count for our vendor.
Question
Can I RSVP after September 30th?
Answer
We will assume that if you do not RSVP by September 30th, 2025, you will not be able to attend. This date is necessary for us to let the vendors know our final count for food and drinks. We will not be able to honor any accommodations for seating/food/drinks after this date.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
When you RSVP, the number of guests invited will be listed. Plus ones are invitation only.
Question
Are children invited?
Answer
As much as we love your kids (after all, they're a part of you), this is a 21 and up event.
Question
Is the event indoors or outdoors?
Answer
The entire event will be indoors as Chicago weather can be unpredictable in November.
Question
Is there parking at the venue?
Answer
Street parking is available for those who wish to drive to the reception, but please note that availability cannot be guaranteed. We are currently organizing transportation from a hotel and will send an update once this is confirmed. Eris Brewery & Cider House is easily accessible by Uber, Lyft, and the blue line CTA train (exit at the Irving Park station).
Question
When should I arrive to the reception?
Answer
Cocktail hour begins at 5:00 p.m., when doors open for the reception, and dinner begins at 6:00 p.m.
Question
What should I wear?
Answer
We ask that our guests wear clothing that falls in the "dressy casual", "semi-formal", or "cocktail" categories of attire. You definitely don't need a tuxedo, but something fancier than jeans and a t-shirt. Anything that won't hinder you on the dance floor is a plus!
Question
What's the bar situation?
Answer
We will have an open bar that serves beer, wine, cider, liquor, soda, and NA options (no shots though). As people who have worked in the service industry, we suggest bringing cash if you would like to tip!
Question
What's the food situation?
Answer
We will be having a full dinner (appetizers, mains, sides) with a dessert table and cake. If you have any food allergies or dietary needs, please list them for us in your RSVP.
