We understand that it's a long way for many of you and that not everyone will be able to make the trip. Either way, please update your RSVP ASAP so we can get a sense of numbers If NZ isn't in the cards this time around, we're also planning a small party in Indianapolis on the weekend before Thanksgiving - so rest assured there will be other chances to celebrate together!
No, of course not. BUTTTT if you're looking to save money on some great wedding guest attire, I'd urge you to let Beni help. joinbeni.com for more details ;)
If there's not a +1 on your invite but you recently met the love of your life, feel free to make their case. We are excited to hear the pitch!
It's a long way and flights aren't cheap - we'd recommend getting on to this right away! Air New Zealand is a great experience and has direct flights from SF and LA. There are also options on American and United for anyone looking to rack up some points.
While it's the start of summer in New Zealand, we will be in the mountains so expect long days with cool nights. Average temperatures will be in the 70's dropping down to 50's overnight (ºF, obviously)
1 USD = 1.64 NZD Which means $100 NZ is about $62 USD
Please let us know if you intend on bringing your little ones. We haven't included kids in our ceremony or reception plans, but we are happy to look into some options for babysitting services for those of you that cannot find other arrangements. Welcome drinks and the recovery will be kid-friendly, so please feel free to bring your rugrats along!
If you have a US passport - all you need is a NZETA (nzeta.immigration.govt.nz). This takes 72 hours to process, and we highly recommend getting this when you book your flights. Kate once waited until the last minute (shocker) and it was a bit stressful, so apply when you book flights and save yourself the airport panic! For all other passports - you'll need the NZETA as well and we recommend checking the New Zealand immigration website for information specific to your passport and situation.
