I received my Save the Date, but how do I RSVP?

We love the enthusiasm! But for now, consider this your "Pre-RSVP Warm-Up." The official RSVP process will open closer to the wedding. For now plan on booking your flights & hotel (Hotel Los Gatos)!

Question

What if I didn't RSVP in time?

Answer

If we do not receive your RSVP by the date provided (August 14), it will automatically be marked as "not attending". We will miss celebrating with you but it is imperative we provide our vendors with. a final guest count within the time they have given us. Thank you for your understanding!
