FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
August 21, 2025, is the RSVP deadline. We have to give a final head count to the caterers and venue in order to ensure enough food and seating is out. If you need to change from a yes to a no after the deadline please reach out to the couple via text or email (nicklanawedding@gmail.com)! Thank you!
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
Yes! The dress code is Cocktail/Semi formal. This is the biggest day of our lives so far and we would love to see everyone dressed up with us. No jeans, T-shirts, shorts, caps. Ladies, please no white/off white. Weather permitting, the ceremony will be outside, and October could be windy or chilly so may want to bring a coat or sweater.
Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
We love your kids but we have opted to have a child free wedding so guests can enjoy themselves and have a great time celebrating with us.
Question
I have a food allergy, can I make a special request?
Answer
Yes, on the RSVP section there is a question about allergies and dietary restrictions, and we will try to accommodate you.
Question
Are you registered anywhere?
