Question

Are children invited?

Answer

While we love your little ones, our wedding is going to be an 16+ event so that everyone can relax and enjoy the evening. Older children who are invited will have received an invitation along with their parents’ invitation. Parents will be able to RSVP for themselves and their teens. We appreciate you making arrangements ahead of time and leaving the kids at home so you can celebrate with us!

Question

Can I bring a guest/plus one?

Answer

Due to a number of factors, we are only able to accommodate guests who have received an invitation. If you received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Please ensure that you are RSVP'ing for yourself and your plus one so that we can get an accurate head count.

What's the dress code?

Answer

The dress code is semi-formal/cocktail attire. Ladies should wear cocktail dresses and gentleman should wear a suit or sport coat. Ties are optional. We ask that ladies avoid white and lavender, as these colors are reserved for the bridal party. For our out of town guests, though our ceremony and reception will be indoors, March in Illinois can be chilly. We recommend bringing a jacket, just in case :)

After the ceremony, the bridal party will be taking pictures nearby for around an hour. Guests will be escorted into the Gatsby Hall for a cocktail hour until roughly 4:30 when they will be escorted into the Grand Hall for the reception.
