Question
Do we have to RSVP?
Answer
Yes, RSVP for all events by June 7th! The RSVP's will give us a final head count for seating arrangements and catering. So please, RSVP accordingly!
Question
What about wedding gifts? Do you have a wedding registry?
Answer
If you would like to honor us with a gift for our Reception, we are kindly requesting no boxed gifts, which is a familiar Bengali wedding custom. Any monetary gifts you’d like to contribute will be greatly appreciated! Please view our registry tab for other options.
Question
What is the attire for each event?
Answer
The Reception is a formal wedding event and we are requesting that all guests dress accordingly. Guests are welcome to wear formal American or cultural attire of their choosing! For the Gaye Holud we request guests wear yellow. Preferably clothes you wouldn't mind if stained. For the women invited to the Mehndi, we are requesting shades of green. The theme is Heeramandi - so green sharara, gharara, anarkali dress is your best bet.
Question
Are the events inside or outside?
Answer
The entire Gaye Holud will be outdoors. We urge guests to review weather for Fontana a few days prior to the event. Typically the weather can be very hot during the summer and can be chilly in the evenings. The Reception and Mehndi will be fully indoors!
Question
Are children invited?
Answer
We would really love for everyone to enjoy their time with us! Please RSVP for any children included in your invite. The Mehndi is a ladies only event, this extends to children as well. It is our suggestion to arrange for childcare of young children as the events may be overstimulating. However, we understand that not all guests have access to childcare and we do not intend to exclude any guests.
Question
Can I bring a plus one?
Answer
We ask guests to please not bring a plus one. The number of invitees will be indicated on your RSVP. Thank you so much for understanding!
Question
What kind of food will you be serving?
Answer
There will be a mix of Bengali, South Asian and Mexican food through various events. We are trying to cater to all guests in a thoughtful manner. All food will be halal and there will be both vegetarian and vegan options for our loved ones to enjoy meals with us. Please let us know of any other dietary restrictions when RSVPing.
