No, you absolutely do not have to RSVP online through this website! I, Tori the Bride, will provide an email address or phone number you may contact to RSVP through. The website makes it easier to track who is coming and easier for you RSVP though! We will NOT be having anybody RSVP through the mail! It just isn't cost effective and people tend to forget! So, we figured these other options are better! My email address: torirouse9@hotmail.com My phone number" (620)804-2508 The invitations will have the details on when to register by!
You may show up thirty minutes early to the ceremony. We actually ask that you come early so that we are ready to go on schedule! We do ask that you do not show up any earlier than 12:15pm though because we will not be there. We are going to be getting ready at the hotels and transporting over to the church once it is closer to time! The reception is different though. The doors will be open by 5:30pm. You may arrive whenever you please after that. However, the bridal party will do their grand entrance at 6:30pm. There will be a big sign at the front of the reception with a schedule of what goes on when for our guests convenience.
We are going to keep our rehearsal dinner very intimate and small. Only the bridal party and selected family members of the Bride and Groom will be invited. If you are invited, Trey or I will personally let you know! There will be no formal invitations, but we will give you the details on time and place!
We are going to attempt to keep plus one's very limited. If you are married, then you automatically will have a plus one to bring your spouse. If you are not married, then you most likely do not have a plus one. There are exceptions to that rule though. It will be on an individual basis, so if you are interested in a plus one and your invitation did not say anything about one, please contact Tori, the Bride, as soon as possible. Please let her know who you want the plus one to be and why. We do want our guests to all feel comfortable and happy with who they're surrounded with on our wedding day. However, please be understanding and considerable with this rule! We would love for our plus one's to have plus one's, but wedding guest lists can quickly add up and the price of everything raises! Thank you!
We do not have a "ban" on children or a age requirement to attend our ceremony or reception. We do please ask that if your child becomes verbally upset and crying during the ceremony that somebody quietly step out until he or she is calm again! We are paying a lot of money for a videographer to capture our big day on footage and would hate for your child to be the star of our show! We absolutely encourage you to bring your little ones though, but we also encourage you to think of getting a baby sitter so you can have a fun and relaxing night off!
We aren't going to make you come in a ball gown and suit and tie. We want you to be comfortable and relaxed! Casual clothing is fine with us if you are fine with being photographed like that! If you are a family member of the bride or groom, please keep in mind that we will be taking family portraits, so maybe throw on a flowy maxi dress instead of leggings and a t shirt! We want you to enjoy your time though, so please pick whatever you feel comfortable and confident in!!
