FAQs

Question

When is the RSVP deadline? Do I need to mail back my RSVP or can I do it online?

Answer

The RSVP deadline is April 1. For ease and to reduce paper, we have opted for online RSVPs so you can do it here on our website (now available)! However, if the easiest option for you is by mail, feel free to do so, but allow enough time!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

If your invitation says “and Guest,” then yes. If not, we would prefer if it was just you.

Question

What's the dress code?

Answer

Semi-formal. We want you to look your best, but also feel comfortable. So if that top button is too tight or those heels are too high, feel free to opt for a more casual option.

Question

What will the weather be like this time of year?

Answer

It's Virginia in April, so it could really be anything. We advise an umbrella for the ceremony just in case, but the reception will be covered. It could be cold, but could also be rather warm so we suggest dressing in layers that can be added or removed accordingly.

Question

What happens after the ceremony?

Answer

Post ceremony, the wedding party and immediate family members will be taking pictures. Guests will be led to the reception area for cocktail hour drinks and snacks.

Question

Where should I park or be dropped off?

Answer

Parking is available next to the inn. You can be dropped off right at the front of the house, at the end of the driveway. However, if you are late, the ceremony is right in front of the house so be mindful of that!

Question

Will there be any vegan/vegetarian/gluten free/special diet options?

Answer

When RSVPing to the event, we have a section where you can list any dietary restrictions you may have so we can best accommodate you. Be sure to fill this out so we can provide an option for you on the big day!

Question

Can I take and post pictures of the wedding on social media?

Answer

While the ceremony will be unplugged, we encourage guests to post pictures of the reception on to their social media channels. We request that you tag each photo with our wedding hashtag #JoyToBeAJenkins so we can enjoy all of your pictures!
