When do I need to RSVP?

Please confirm your RSVP by October 15th. If we haven't heard from you by then, we'll assume you're unable to attend and mark you as declined. We sincerely hope you can join us, so if you have any questions or need more time, please don't hesitate to reach out!

What do I do if I can't make it?

You will be dearly missed! If you can not make it to the wedding, please let use know as soon as possible and RSVP "not attending" so we can plan accordingly. Thank you!

When do I need to book my hotel room?

If you plan to stay in our room block at the Riu Palace Pacifico, please book your room by October 15th. After that date, any unused rooms in our block will be released. You can still book your room after October 15th if needed, but it will be based on availability.

Do we need to book our travel Tuesday, January 28 - Sunday, February 2?

Feel free to make your travel plans that suit your schedule and budget – we just would love to see you on the wedding day, January 31st! Please note that our room block at the Riu Pacifico Palace has a minimum stay requirement of 3 nights.

Is everyone invited to the Welcome Party - Sunset Cruise?

Yes! We hope everyone can join us for the Welcome Party - Sunset Cruise on Thursday, January 30th from 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM. Shuttles will pick up from the hotel at 3:30 PM, boat will depart from the dock at 4:00 PM. RSVP for this event when you RSVP for the wedding.

Are children invited to the wedding?

While we would love to include all the wonderful little ones from our friends and family, we are only able to accommodate close family children. We hope you understand this decision and can still join us in celebrating our special day. Specific children are invited by personal invitation; please refer to your invitation for details. As noted, the Riu Palace Pacifico is an adults-only resort. However, there are two Riu sister properties adjacent to the Riu Palace Pacifico that are family-friendly and allow children. Guests staying at the Riu Palace Pacifico have access to these family-friendly hotels and their amenities. For more information, please reach out to our travel agent, Tracy.

Can I bring a guest/date?

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate additional guests beyond those formally invited on your invitation. Your invitation will specify [Your Name] + [Guest] if a plus one has been extended to you. If you did not receive a plus one but would still like to travel with a friend or significant other, you are welcome to do so. *Please note that events such as the Welcome Party, Ceremony, and Wedding Reception are limited to invited guests only due to our capacity limitations. Thank you for your understanding.

Will there be an open bar?

Yes! The drinks are on us and the hangover is on you for both the Welcome Party and the Wedding/Reception - get ready to party!

What do I do if I have dietary restrictions or allergies?

If you have specific dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know when you RSVP. We recommend informing wait staff of your restrictions and allergies, whenever possible and keeping any necessary medication on hand at all times.

Can I take pictures or videos during the ceremony?

We kindly ask for an "unplugged ceremony" without phones or cameras. Your presence is the greatest gift as we say "I do". We have a professional photographer capturing this moment for us, and we'll share the photos with you once we receive them. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many photos and videos as you'd like! QR codes will be displayed around the venue, linking to a shared album where you can upload and share your photos with the group.

What's the dress code?

Dress Code: Beachy Cocktail & Garden Chic For Ladies: Embrace flowy cocktail dresses or stylish jumpsuits in light, breezy fabrics. Feel free to accessorize with floral or beach-inspired touches for that extra flair! For Gentlemen: Opt for linen suits or dress shirts/polos paired with smart trousers. Feel comfortable to skip the tie and jacket for a relaxed vibe, and choose loafers or stylish closed-toe shoes. Quick Tip: Since we'll be on grass, let's keep our footwear smart and grass-friendly! The bridal party will be in an assortment of pastel colors, family will be in light blue. Can’t wait to see your fabulous outfits!

Will the wedding be indoors or outdoors?

The ceremony and reception will be outdoors so please plan your outfits accordingly with the weather!

Will I be able to text/call in Mexico?

If you don't have an international phone plan, texting or calling from Mexico can be costly. Check with your mobile carrier for international roaming rates or temporary plans covering Mexico. For our wedding communications in Mexico, we'll rely on WhatsApp over Wi-Fi to avoid international texting fees. For instructions on how to join our WhatsApp group message, please refer to the "WhatsApp" tab at the top of the website.

Do you have a wedding registry?

We're beyond thrilled to have you join us in celebrating our big day! Your presence is the greatest gift we could ask for – seriously, we mean it! If you're feeling extra generous and want to contribute to our next adventure, we've set up a honeymoon fund (see tab on the website labeled "Honeymoon Fund"). No pressure at all, just an option for those who wish to help us create some amazing memories at a yet-to-be-decided destination. Your love and support mean everything to us, and we can't wait to share this journey with you!
