When is the deadline to RSVP?

Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We are requesting that our guests wear "dressy casual" attire. For the men this could be chinos or linen dress pants/shorts with a button down shirt or polo. For the ladies this could be a sundress, cocktail dress, or jumpsuit, etc. Additionally, our wedding will have a tiki/tropical twist so feel free to wear bright colors, floral prints, or an Aloha shirt.

You may also want to bring sunglasses/sunscreen for during the day and/or a jacket for the evening.
