Question
Are kids welcome?
Answer
While we love your little ones, we have decided for our wedding to be a formal adult-only occasion, with the exception of a few teenage family members. Children will be included on your RSVP if this scenario applies to you. We hope that this advance notice means you are still able to come and share our big day with us!
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
We’re so excited to celebrate with our closest family and friends. Due to limited space, we’re only able to accommodate those guests formally listed on the invitation. If your invitation includes a plus-one, you’ll see their name or “+ Guest” on the online RSVP.
Question
What is the best way to travel to both the ceremony and the reception?
Answer
We suggest driving or taking an Uber to the ceremony and we recommend using Uber for transportation to and from the reception venue.
