Answer

Beach Semi-Formal Wedding Colors are light pink, sage green, dusty and light blue. You can match with us if you'd like. *Please do not wear white!* The ceremony and cocktail hour will take place in the sand, so we recommend wearing appropriate footwear and attire for a beachfront celebration!

Question

What if I haven’t RSVP’d yet or confirmed where I’m staying?

Answer

To help us finalize headcounts with our vendors, we kindly ask that all guests RSVP and confirm their travel plans (either hotel or cruise) by October 3, 2025. If we have not received your RSVP and confirmed lodging details by this date, we will assume you are not attending and you will not be included in the final guest count. We truly wish we could accommodate everyone last-minute, but due to strict deadlines from our venue and vendors in Aruba, we appreciate your understanding and cooperation!

Question

Wedding Gift FAQ

Answer

Q: Can we bring our wedding gift to Aruba? A: We kindly ask that you do not bring any physical gifts with you to Aruba. Since we’ll be traveling with lots of luggage, we won’t be able to bring everything back with us. Q: How can we send a gift instead? A: We’ve set up a registry with our Ashburn mailing address linked, so any gifts can be sent directly there. This helps us tremendously and ensures your gift gets safely home! If needed, please reach out to us privately for our home address if needed. Q: What if we just want to celebrate with you? A: Your presence is the greatest gift of all! We’re so excited to celebrate with you in paradise. Thank you for understanding and for being part of our special day!

Question

Can I bring my children to the event?

Answer

Due to limited seating, we kindly ask that only the children participating in the wedding party attend. We truly appreciate your understanding as we keep our celebration intimate. We’re excited to celebrate with everyone—kids included—at a more relaxed, family-friendly gathering planned for summer 2026!
