When should I RSVP?
If you are able to RSVP as soon as you receive the invitation, that would be extremely helpful.
We ask that you RSVP before March 15 since it is a destination wedding so that we can meet the requirements of the reception venue.
Can I bring a plus +1 ?
Unfortunately, although we would love to share our special day with everyone, the venue is very limited in space. Therefore , we need to keep the guest count limited to people addressed in the invitation only to ensure our closest family and friends and wedding party is included.
