For the 17th, the dress code is Colorful Dressy Casual or Indian Attire. Women may choose to wear sundresses, floral or patterned midi/maxi dresses, jumpsuits, chic skirts with stylish tops, or any other flowy and festive outfit. If opting for Indian attire, you can wear simple lehengas, sarees, anarkalis, palazzo pants with a nice top, or Indian suits (also called salwar kameez or Punjabi suits). Men can wear a button-down casual shirts with pants or chinos—no need for blazers! If you're up for Indian wear, kurtas are a great choice and are readily available online on Amazon and other retailers. 🚫Please avoid wearing solid white or black outfits. Let’s keep the energy as bright and festive as possible!

For the 18th, please wear your typical wedding attire or fancy traditional Indian attire. Women may choose to wear elegant cocktail dresses (midi/maxi), chic evening gowns, or dressy jumpsuits.

✦ May 17th: We’re kicking things off at the Marriott in Gaithersburg, MD (9751 Washingtonian Blvd, Gaithersburg, MD 20878).

The event is from 10 am to 3 pm. ✦ May 18th: We’re taking the celebration 35 minutes down the road to Springfield Manor (11836 Auburn Rd, Thurmont, MD 21788).

Yes, you’re welcome to bring a plus one for both days—because celebrations are always better with good company! (just let us know on the RSVP)

Head over to the Schedule tab in the menu to check out the full timeline for both days.

We don't have anything planned for those evenings. Feel free to catch up with folks staying at the hotel and explore what Rio has to offer!

Yes, both days will feature an open bar. Please enjoy responsibly and make the most of the celebration!

When RSVPing for the wedding, please don’t forget to fill out your dietary restrictions. We’d love to know what’s off the menu for you and how you’d prefer your meal. For example, if chicken Tuscany isn't your thing, would a simple grilled chicken in olive oil do the trick? Let us know—we want everyone to enjoy their meal without any surprises!

✦ On the 17th, there will be a buffet featuring a variety of vegetarian, chicken and turkey sandwiches. ✦ On the 18th, a sit-down meal will be served. Options including chicken, vegetarian, and seafood will be available. Meals for both days are based on your selection at the time of RSVP. Please note, beef and pork will not be served on either day due to religious considerations.

Go ahead and pick any meal for now—think of it as a placeholder! The kids will get their own special menu with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options (aka food they’ll actually eat). It might change, but we promise they won’t be stuck with a five-course gourmet feast!

Feel free to text us! We're only a message away, and we would love to hear from you!
