Those invited to the event will be clearly addressed on the formal invitation. For example “Mr. & Mrs. Smith” or “Mr. Smith & Guest”. We request that you do not add people that are not addressed on the invitation, as we have limited space to accommodate additional guests. If you believe we unintentionally left out your partner, please contact the bride/groom. Thank you in advance for your understanding!
WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDREN?!
We love your children & understand that you may want to have them participate in the celebrations. However, the bride & groom respectfully request for all parents to arrange for childcare & take a well-deserved evening off. Please note that all invitations are extended to adults only & there is limited space to accommodate additional guests (including children). Thank you for respecting our wishes & we look forward to celebrating with you!

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
We would appreciate if our guests dress up with us! The requested dress code for the event is semi-formal. Semi-formal attire is an outfit that is dressier than what you'd wear to an office but not as dressy as a formal evening gown or tuxedo. Please plan to dress appropriately for the weather, as the ceremony is expected to take place outdoors.

WHAT IF IT RAINS?
