What if I don’t RSVP in time?
Answer
If you do not RSVP by (September 7, 2024), you will be marked as “not attending”. We would love celebrating with you, however, we have to provide an exact guest count to our vendors and therefore cannot accept late RSVPs. Thank you for understanding!
Question
What should I do if I cannot make it?
Answer
You will definitely be missed! If you cannot attend our wedding, please indicate “Declines with regret” on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly. If you have already RSVP’d “Accepts with pleasure”, but find you will not make it, please notify Rachel Masek (563-419-4203) as soon as you are aware.

Can I bring a date/plus one?

Your invite will be made out to “(Your Name) & Guest” if a plus one has been given to you. Thank you for understanding!
