Yes!

There's a party Friday night and the official ceremony and reception are on Saturday. Please RSVP to both!

NO! Your presence is more than enough. We just ask you to hydrate and be ready to celebrate late into the evening on Saturday. If you really want to celebrate with a gift please consider a donation to either of our mother's temples: Vivekananda Vedanta Center of Connecticut (Nina's mother) https://www.vedantavvcc.org/Donate Sringeri Vidya Bharati Foundation South (Ganesh's mother) https://svbfsouth.org/sponsorship/

Black tie optional... but in CA that means a wide variety of choices. The wedding ceremony is Hindu and outdoors in the late afternoon so it might be warm. The reception is also outdoors and in the evening and it can get pleasantly cool. If it helps at all, Nina is wearing Indian for both the ceremony and reception, Ganesh is wearing Indian for the ceremony and a tux for the reception For anyone intersted in Indian clothes you can order something from a variety of sites: panashindia.com https://www.lashkaraa.com/ and a bunch of others, (even Amazon!)
