FAQ
Is this a child friendly wedding?
We love your little ones, however, we have decided to keep our ceremony and reception an adults -only event. We hope you will understand our decision and take the opportunity to let your hair down and celebrate in style! We appreciate you making prior arrangements so you are able to celebrate with us.
What Is The Dress Code?
Our dress code is Semi-Formal/Cocktail Attire suitable for an elevated garden party!
Please do NOT wear jeans (no seriously please), khakis (unless paired with a nice sports coat and button down), sundresses, casual tops and skirts, or tennis shoes. Floral patterns and pastel colors are encouraged :)
We ask kindly that you AVOID wearing the colors red and orange, and of course, no white.
Ladies may wear a semi-formal jumpsuit, pantsuit, midi or floor length dress suitable for a garden party.
Gentleman may wear a suit and tie, or slacks with a button down shirt, blazer/suit jacket (optional).
How Do I RSVP?
We will include a QR code to our RSVP form on the formal invitations, as well as including a physical mailer with the formal invitation if you would prefer to mail your RSVP back to us.
Do I Have To RSVP?
Yes! Please RSVP as soon as you receive your formal invitation so we can communicate with our vendors accurate guest count.
What If I Don't RSVP But Still Come To The Wedding?
Unfortunately, if you do not send us your RSVP by the requested date, there will not be a place for you at our wedding (no seat at the ceremony, table setting for dinner, drinks from the bar, etc) and security will not permit you to enter the event.
What Happens If I Do Not RSVP By The Date Requested?
If you do not RSVP by the requested date, you will be marked as "not attending." We would love to celebrate with you, however, we must provide an exact guest count to our vendors and cannot accept late RSVPs. (This means you will not be allowed to show up to our wedding day. There will be no seating, dinner or drink accommodations for you.)
What Should I Do If I Cannot Make It?
You will be missed! We understand traveling during a weekday to Dallas for some may not be possible. If you cannot attend our wedding, please indicate "Not Attending" on your RSVP so we can plan accordingly. If you have already RSVP'd "Attending," but change your plans, please notify Miranda immediately so she can adjust the guest count with our vendors BEFORE the requested date.
Can I Bring A Date/Plus One?
Due to limited budget, we are only able to accommodate guests formally invited on your official wedding invitation. Your invitation will be made out to "(Your Name) & Guest" if a plus one has been given to you. Thank you for understanding!
Are There Any Colors I Should Avoid Wearing?
We kindly ask that you avoid the colors traditionally reserved for the Bride: White, Ivory and Creams. We also ask that you avoid wearing the colors red or orange.
What Time Should I Arrive?
A time for the ceremony will be given on your formal invitation. We ask that since our ceremony is outdoors, you arrive and be in your seat NO LATER THAN 15 minutes before the ceremony begins. You may arrive earlier than 15 minutes as it will give you time to mingle, sign the guest book and find your seat.
If you arrive after the ceremony has already begun, you will not be able to be seated and will have to wait until cocktail hour has begun to enter.
Transportation from the hotels will be provided to guests due to limited parking at the venue. We hope this will help eliminate tardiness.
Can I Take Photos or Videos During The Ceremony?
NO! We will be having an "unplugged" ceremony and ask that you take 20 minutes out of your evening to be fully present with us. All phones, cameras and camcorders must be put away and silenced during this time. We have hired professional photographers and videographers to capture this moment for us and promise to share our photos as soon as we receive them. Our wedding videos will be made available for you to enjoy at a later date. After the ceremony has concluded, please feel free to take as many photos and videos as you would like during the cocktail hour and reception!
Will The Wedding Take Place Indoors or Outdoors?
Our wedding ceremony will be held outdoors with an indoor reception to follow. Both the ceremony and reception will be held at The Cinnamon Barn.
What Should I Do With The Recipe Card I Received In My Formal Invitation?
Please fill out your favorite recipe or a family recipe you would like to share, and drop it in the recipe card box when arriving to the venue!
Should I Bring A Gift?
The greatest gift of all is celebrating with you on our special day! We will not be setting up a wedding registry and instead will be creating a Honeymoon Fund! Should you wish to contribute to our honeymoon, we have a registry tab on our website, or a thoughtful card can be dropped in the card box at the reception.
What If I Have A Dietary Restriction?
If you have a dietary restriction (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.), please let us know in your RSVP! We will be serving wood-fired Neapolitan pizzas made on-site, and would need to let our catering vendor know to bring accommodations!
Will There Be A Bar?
Of course! There will be a bar with a limited menu of select beer, wine and signature cocktails. We ask that you be patient and respect our bartender.
Due to venue and security restrictions, NO outside beer, wine or liquor will be permitted on the premises.
Where Should We Stay?
Our venue is located south of McKinney, Texas in Princeton, Texas. There will be hotels recommended by the venue listed in the accommodations tab on our website.
