FAQs

Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

Please RSVP no later than August 10th, 2026. If we don’t receive a response by then, we’ll assume you’re unable to attend and will miss you dearly.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Please plan to arrive by 4:00 PM to allow ample time for parking and getting seated. The ceremony will begin punctually at 4:30pm.

Question

Where should I park?

Answer

Please enter the venue through the gated entrance east of the s-curve and park in the main lot, where there is plenty of space available. A driver will be available to take you to the ceremony seating entrance and return you to your car at any point during or after the reception.

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

NO. We kindly ask that guests keep phones and cameras away during the ceremony and allow our photographer to capture the moment. After the ceremony, please feel free to take all the photos you’d like.

Question

Are kids welcome?

Answer

Yes! If your children are included on your invitation, they’re welcome to join the celebration. Please be sure to accurately include them on your RSVP so we can plan seating and meals for everyone. We also kindly ask that parents be mindful during the ceremony and other special moments and ensure little ones are supervised so everyone can enjoy the day.

Question

What is the attire?

Answer

We’d love to see our family and friends dress up with us! Cocktail or semi-formal attire is encouraged, but whatever makes you feel good and ready to dance is perfect. Just one rule — unless you’re the bride, please don’t wear white.

Question

Can I bring a guest?

Answer

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you received a plus one they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thank you for understanding.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

OF COURSE. Drinks on us and the hangover is on you! Please remember to drink responsibly, bring a DD, or uber/lyft home. Your safety is the most important thing to us.

Question

Can I leave my car overnight?

Answer

YES. Please drink responsibly, and you are welcome to leave your car overnight. We kindly ask that any vehicles left on-site be picked up by 10:00 AM the following morning.

Question

Can I bring my own adult beverages?

Answer

No. We will be supplying plenty of alcohol and have a bartending service who will be handling the beverages. Due to Texas laws and venue policies, you are not allowed to bring any other alcoholic beverages onto the premises.

Question

Will there be dancing?

Answer

Oh yes — there will definitely be an amusing interpretation of it. And more than that, we’ll be kicking things off with a grand march and would love for every one of our guests to take part in the experience with us. After that, we fully intend to turn the night into one big celebration, and we hope you’ll dance all night long with us.

Question

Will there be assigned seating?

Answer

Yes, each person will be assigned a table for dinner. After that - mix & mingle!

Question

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Answer

We are having a buffet style dinner, so hopefully everyone will be able to compile a meal that will make them happy. If you have specific concerns or allergies, please don't hesitate to email us at theraeszwedding@gmail.com and we will confer with our caterer.

Question

What's the best gift to get you?

Answer

The greatest gift of all is your presence on our special day! However, if you’d like to give something additional, our registry can be found under the registry tab above and includes the option to contribute toward our future home fund (which we’re hoping to build).

You will be missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please let us know as soon as possible and RSVP "not attending" so we can plan accordingly. Thank you!
