FAQs

The Wedding Website of Katie Bruce and Tristen Shackelford
We're so excited to celebrate with you! To make planning as easy as possible, we've answered some frequently asked questions below.
Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by Saturday, May 29, 2027. Early RSVPs are always appreciated and help us tremendously with planning! And if you can't make it, that's okay! We'd much rather receive a "no" RSVP than no response at all. Knowing either way helps us finalize our plans and celebrate with those who can join us.

Question

What is the dress code?

Answer

Cocktail Attire For Women: We encourage midi, tea-length, or floor-length dresses for our summer wedding. We kindly ask that guests avoid white, cream, and ivory dresses. For Men: We recommend a suit or dress pants with a blazer. Ties are optional. For those who would like additional guidance, we've put together a mood board with attire inspiration: https://pin.it/4Wp28FA3M

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please arrive 20–30 minutes before the ceremony begins to allow time for parking and finding your seat. The ceremony will begin promptly at 5:00 pm.

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation includes a guest, it will be indicated on your invitation and RSVP. We wish we could celebrate with everyone, but due to space and budget limitations, we are only able to accommodate those listed on the invitation.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding will be an adults-only celebration. We hope this gives you an opportunity to relax, celebrate, and enjoy a night out. Thank you for understanding!

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

The Austin does not have a dedicated parking lot, but there is ample street parking available throughout the surrounding Crossroads neighborhood. We recommend arriving a few minutes early to find a spot. If you'd rather skip parking altogether, rideshare services are readily available in the area.

Question

Do you have any hotel recommendations?

Answer

Please review the "Travel" section of our website to find our hotel recommendations.

Question

Is there transportation to and from the hotels to the ceremony?

Answer

Transportation will not be provided. We encourage guests to utilize rideshare services and/or if desired.
