FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We would greatly appreciate if you could respond to our invitation by July 7.

Question

What time should I arrive at the event?

Answer

Please plan on arriving before 5:30 pm to mingle, take photos with the bride and groom, and enjoy some delicious appetizers and drinks. Dinner will then be served at 6:30 pm.

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

The dress code is "dressy casual." We've linked a couple guides below, but in summary, dress like you're going out for a nice dinner date in the summer! For the ladies, some examples include sundresses, casual cocktail dresses, and of course, áo dài. For the guys, you won't go wrong with a buttoned and collared shirt (long- or short-sleeve), plus dress pants or chinos; a suit is okay, but jeans are too informal for our event. Please avoid white clothing, including patterns on a white background. 1. https://www.theknot.com/content/wedding-guest-attire-cheat-sheet#casual-attire 2. https://www.brides.com/story/wedding-dress-code-explained#toc-semi-formal-or-dressy-casual

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

We love kids and would be happy to have your little ones join us!

Question

Can I bring another guest whom was not listed when I RSVPed?

Answer

No; although we are very happy you want to share the joy with others, we would like to keep our celebration intimate and therefore restricted to only our families.

Question

Is there parking for the event?

Answer

Yes! Ray's Boathouse has complimentary parking in their spacious lot, however, we still recommend carpooling.

Question

Are you registered? Where?

Answer

Your presence at our celebration is the greatest gift for which we could ask. However, if you wish to honor us further, we would appreciate preserving the Vietnamese tradition of "lì xì" on the day of our celebration instead of presents. These red envelopes symbolize your heartfelt wishes for our good luck, happiness, and prosperity in marriage, and your generous gesture will be deeply cherished.
