We kindly request no gifts for our wedding. Your journey to celebrate with us is enough of a gift.

The dress code for our wedding is casual to semi-formal. The weather will be hot so we want you to be comfortable, yet look nice for the photos as well. Please no white, beige, cream, ivory, sand, or blush (light pink). The following colors are highly encouraged.

We have a strict guest list to stay within our venue capacity. Our wedding is strictly RSVP only. We will only able to accommodate those listed on your invitation.

We will have a professional photography team at the wedding but if you want to snap some memories of our special weekend, we kindly ask that if you keep photos to a minimum at the ceremony and if you do share photos, tag us #ONGOING2024

Before your leave, contact your carrier and request to have your phone unlocked. Once your phone is unlocked, you can purchase a local Vietnamese SIM card from a mobile network provider such as Viettel, Mobifone, or Vinaphone. Generally, you can expect to pay anywhere from 50,000 to 150,000 VND (approximately $2 to $6 USD) for a SIM card with 4G capabilities.

You can utilize the Grab or Gojek apps, which are equivalent to Uber, for convenient transportation. These apps offer cash payment options. Alternatively, you can also opt for local taxis or other forms of local transportation, but I would recommend using Grab or Gojek for a reliable and hassle-free experience.

Yes. Popular restaurants and venues in Ho Chi Minh and Ha Noi accept major credit cards but you will need cash for street food vendors and local places in Da Nang or Quy Nhon. For mid-range travel, expect to spend around 800,000 to 1,200,000 VND (approximately $35 to $52 USD) per day. For luxury travel, expect more than 2,000,000 VND (approximately $87) per day, but then you will also be able to use cards. You can get cash from ATMs, souvenir shops, and hotels all over District 1.

Tipping isn't mandatory or customary in Vietnam, but it is always appreciated. If you're happy with the services provided by waiters, drivers and other service workers, leaving a small tip is a good way to show your appreciation. We recommend 10% as a ball park.

It may come as a culture shock to some but bargaining in Vietnam for any type of goods is commonplace. Bartering comes down to a fine art. This is mainly in the markets (unless there are signs that say fixed price). May the odds forever be in your favor!

You can still reach me via my personal Facebook, Instagram, or email. You can also add me on WhatsApp.

Vietnam is known for its delicious and varied cuisine, so be sure to sample as many local dishes as possible. Don't be afraid to try street food, which can be some of the most authentic and delicious food in Vietnam.

While many Vietnamese people speak English, it's always appreciated if you can speak a few basic phrases in Vietnamese, such as "hello" (xin chào), "thank you" (cảm ơn), and "excuse me" (xin lỗi).

Vietnam is generally a safe country for travelers, but it's still important to take precautions. Be aware of your surroundings, hang on to your phone, avoid carrying large amounts of cash or valuables, and use common sense when traveling at night or in unfamiliar areas.

While Vietnam's popular tourist destinations are definitely worth a visit, don't be afraid to explore off the beaten path. Some of the most rewarding experiences in Vietnam can be found in smaller towns and villages that are less frequently visited by tourists.
