We ask that guests RSVP as soon as possible, but the due date will be June 22nd, 2026, so we can get the final guest count to the vendors. As we approach the wedding date, reminders will be sent out to those who have not yet committed.
Unfortunately, we will be unable to accommodate those who did not meet the RSVP deadline. Reminders will be sent out so be sure check your inbox. We would love to have you there, so please RSVP before June 22nd, 2026.
We kindly ask everyone to put their cell phones and cameras away for an un-plugged ceremony. There will be a moment before the ceremony starts where guests will be allowed to take photos.
The official dress code is semi-formal. Please don't feel like you have to spend a lot of money on attire. We want you to look stylish but also comfy. If you look and feel fancy, you're good to go. If you have any doubts, you can reach out to the bride or groom. Follow the link to view a Pinterest board for inspiration: Her Inspo: https://pin.it/7h49nDKIW His Inspo: https://pin.it/rX97cIxsu

To ensure we can accommodate all guests comfortably, we ask that only formally invited guests attend our wedding festivities. You'll find the details about your party size, including a plus one when you RSVP. We truly appreciate your understanding and can't wait to celebrate with you!
Yes! SAIT recommends parking in public parking lot 6, under the turf field. If you choose to park in the recommended parking lot, the daily fee will be $17. Underground parking is also available for the reception. You can find the exact parking location in the "schedule" section of the website. A parking fee of $10 is also required.
Overall, we have decided against a Gift Registry. Chinese weddings don't typically have them. In Chinese culture asking guests for specific items can be considered "greedy" or disrespectful. Instead we gift money in red envelopes. The red envelope symbolizes luck, happiness, friendship, and is a token of good fortune. If you wish to add a personal card please feel free to do so! They are always appreciated but not expected. Mackenzie will be keeping all personalized gifts/cards in a keepsake box, or on display as art work at home :) Upon arrival, stop by the check in table to find your seat and drop off your card or envelope. Red envelopes will be provided at the reception location for those who need them. If you have any questions regarding the registry please speak to the bride and groom. We appreciate your understanding.
Chinese food is very meat heavy but there will be dishes such as friend rice and veggies. If you are vegetarian or have dietary restrictions, please let the bride and groom know so we can let the staff know.
