What's the best way to RSVP?
The best way to RSVP is to send the RSVP card back in the mail in the given envelope. The card will already have the total number of guests invited, as well as a stamp and return address. The only thing you will need to do is put how many guests from your family are actually attending, as well as how many guests are drinking and any song requests. You then just need to put it in the mailbox! If you have any more questions PLEASE do not hesitate to contact us. IF for some reason there was not an envelope with a return address or stamp, please text us at 832-544-9890 to RSVP!

What is the dress code?
We are not doing a strict dress code, however, if we were to say a specific one it would be semi-formal or business casual. Men are allowed to wear jeans and a nice shirt if they would like.
