RSVP
How do I RSVP?
Please RSVP by (date) via our wedding website.
Are children invited?
Some very special little guests will be joining us, but due to space constraints (and to keep the dance floor from turning into a jungle gym), we can only accommodate the kiddos listed on your invitation. Thank you for understanding!
Can I bring a plus-one?
While we’d love to pack the dance floor with everyone you know, we’re working with limited space. So, we can only accommodate the fabulous folks listed on your invite. Thank you for being our VIP!
So & so can't make it anymore. Can I invite someone else?
We totally get it—plans change! While we aren’t able to make swaps, we’ve got a secret Plan B for these situations. Thanks for checking with us!
Other Details
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
We’d love for you to sit back, relax, and soak in the love—phone-free! Our photographer and some designated VIPs (a.k.a. our trusted phone-wielders) will capture all the magic for us. Once cocktail hour and the reception roll around, feel free to channel your inner paparazzi and snap away!
Will there be transportation provided between the ceremony and reception?
No need for a cross-country road trip—our ceremony and reception are practically neighbors! It’s just a 5-minute walk (perfect for breaking in your fancy shoes) or a quick 2-minute drive if you’d rather save your energy for the dance floor.
