To help with our planning, we ask that you kindly RSVP by Monday July 7th, 2025. If you cannot make it, you will be dearly missed. Just select "Will not attend" on the RSVP if you will not be attending. If we don’t receive your RSVP by July 7th, we will unfortunately have to mark you as "Not Attending”. This is required by our venue for a total guest count. We hope you understand.
Question
