Question
What if I don't RSVP on time?
Answer
If you do not RSVP by November 1, 2026, you will be marked as "not attending". We would love to celebrate with you; however, we have to provide an exact guest count to our vendors and cannot accept late RSVP's. (This will mean you are not allowed to show up to our special day. There will be no seating or food accommodations for you.)
