Q + A

RSVP/Plus Ones

Where do I RSVP?

There is a QR code or link to our wedding website on The Knot. Both will prompt you to our wedding website and there should be a tab for "RSVP."

When should I RSVP?

We are hoping to hear back as soon as possible. However, if time is needed, the last day to RSVP is August 21st. Anyone who does not RSVP by August 21st will be automatically assumed, "unable to attend." We would love you company so please RSVP in a timely manner.

Can I bring a plus one?

Although we would love to invite more people, we unfortunately have a limit on guests we can invite. Due to space, we cannot accommodate a plus one at this time. We are reserving invites to family/friends that we have met personally and have gotten to know through time. We have indicated on your invite if a plus one has been included or not. We have listed his/her name or "plus one" on your RSVP profile.

What if I or additional guests show up without RSVPing?

Unfortunately, you and/or your "guests" will not have a seat/plate for food. We can only accommodate guests who RSVP'd and were invited. Please do not show up if no RSVP was sent and/or if you were not invited. We would have to ask you kindly to leave :(

What if my plus one and/or myself are unable to attend after RSVPing?

We understand that life happens. If you and/or your plus one are unable to attend, please reach out to us via/text/DM right away.

Can I bring my kids?

Although we love children, we are only inviting the children from our families. The invitations will have an indication for some guests plus their children.

Dress Code

What is the dress code?

Our dress code is semi-formal. Dress your best!! Examples: suit & tie, button up w/tie, short/midi/floor length dresses or gowns Please do not wear jeans, shorts, T-shirts, sweatshirts, or other casual/street-wear.

What colors should I avoid wearing?

White, cream, sage, seaglass, floral sage (Birdygrey color schemes). These are our wedding colors. If your dress has a white base w/floral print on top, that is perfectly okay to wear :)

Wedding Registry

Is there a wedding gift registry?

We do not have a registry specifically for gift items since we feel that we have everything we need. We would love to travel and plan our future to start a family. We have linked a cash fund in our registry. If you so happen to wish to gift us something, we will greatly appreciate it as well :)

Ceremony/Reception

Do I have to attend the ceremony?

We would prefer if everyone can be in attendance. However, we understand many of you will be traveling long distances. Therefore, it is not necessary to attend the ceremony. We also understand that there is a time gap between the ceremony and reception, but if you attend both, it would mean the world to us.

When should I arrive to the ceremony?

On time. Please try to be at the ceremony site 15-20mins early. Our ceremony is starting promptly at 11:30am. We will be closing the entrance to the ceremony site once the ceremony starts to prevent interruption. If you are late, you will unfortunately miss the ceremony. Please plan accordingly.

Is there parking at the ceremony?

Yes, there will be plenty of parking spots at the ceremony site.

Is there parking at the wedding reception?

We have parking, but it may be limited. Since we will be having our reception at our home, there's a chance you may need to park down the street or a street over. We prefer carpooling to help with the parking situation or Ubering (a plus if you plan on drinking.)

How long is the Reception?

Our reception will be from 4pm-9pm.

What food will we have?

For our appetizers, we will have a hand roll bar which includes seafood. Our options include salmon, spicy salmon, spicy tuna, and imitation crab. For our main dinner course, we will have a pasta bar. Our choices of pasta include a marinara spinach and ricotta lasagna, Italian wedding pasta with sausage, spinach, and a parmesan cream sauce, and a linguine with heirloom tomatoes, spinach, and a sun-dried tomato cream sauce.
