FAQs

The Wedding Website of Kiran Bains and Chris MacKenzie
If you have any other questions other than what we've listed here, please reach out to us.
Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP by March 31st, 2025, but the sooner the better! Please note you cannot RSVP online through the website; you must use the RSVP paper and return envelope you received with your invitation. Each guest should create one origami paper crane and include them in the return envelope, regardless of whether or not you plan to attend the wedding. That way, we can have everyone be a part of the wedding day!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Black-tie/formal/Indian attire is all acceptable. This wedding is not only our union of husband and wife, but also your union as family and friends. Dress to impress!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Our wedding is strictly RSVP only. We will only be able to accommodate those listed on your invitation, which should already include partners. If you have a partner that was not included, please contact us directly.

Question

Is there parking for the ceremony or reception?

Answer

Yes, there is plenty of parking in the event parking lot at The Flower Farm.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

We are not on Indian Time! Plan to arrive before 4:30 so you are settled into your seat before the ceremony begins. If you are not seated before we begin, you may be denied entry into the ceremony and have to wait until the ceremony is over and cocktail hour begins.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

If you want to bring your children with you then we'd be delighted to have them, but if coming without them works better for you then that's fine too. Just let us know who to expect.

Question

I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?

Answer

Food is buffet-style. We hope to have peanut-free, gluten-free, and vegetarian items labeled. Please write any dietary restrictions in the designated space on your RSVP card so we can address them with our caterer.

Question

Why are you asking us to make paper cranes and send them with the RSVP?

Answer

We will be visiting Japan for our honeymoon. Cranes are frequently represented at Japanese weddings as a symbol of honor and loyalty, because they often mate for life. Folding a crane takes time, patience, and understanding. These same qualities are vital for relationships to last and thrive. They were also traditionally given as a wedding gift, to wish a thousand years of happiness and prosperity upon the couple. As a couple we were inspired by this and felt it would be amazing to have paper cranes made by our family and friends displayed at our wedding. This is also a way for our family members that cannot make it to the wedding to be there in spirit.
