Q + A

Do I have to wear South Asian Traditional to the wedding?

South Asian Traditional is not mandatory at all. We do advise to keep it semi-formal and on the modest side since the wedding is at a temple.

Are there any colors to stay away from?

Not at all! The world is your oyster—feel free to wear any colors you have or love.

What should I wear to the wedding?

The dress code is Western Semi-Formal or South Asian Traditional—feel free to choose either! There's no need to purchase anything new, but if you've been waiting for the perfect occasion to wear South Asian attire, this is it! If you opt for South Asian attire, I highly recommend a Lehenga, as it’s easier to wear compared to a Sari, which involves pleating and can be tricky to drape. However, if you’re up for the challenge, feel free to wear a Sari!

What should I wear to the Reception?

The dress code is Black-Tie Optional, so bring your dressiest attire and let’s party! If you’ve been waiting for an occasion to wear that prom dress in your closet, this is your chance. Anything that fits the vibe of the evening works perfectly!

I can't make it to one of the events but I can make it to another one. Can I still come?

Yes that is totally fine! The RSVP will ensure that you select your attendance for each event. Just indicate how you will be present.

Can I bring a Plus one or extra guests?

Due to limited space, we are only able to accommodate those guests formally invited on your wedding invitation. If you have received a plus one, they will appear under your name when you RSVP. Thanks for understanding!

Can I bring my children to the events?

If your children are included on your wedding invitation, they are warmly welcome to join us! However, we kindly ask that if your little ones become disruptive during the festivities, you make alternate childcare arrangements. Additionally, we request that children are not allowed to roam the venue freely and must be accompanied by a parent at all times.

where should I stay?

We highly recommend booking a room in the hotel blocks that I have provided in the Travel and Accommodations page. We will be staying in Bethesda the entire weekend and you should too!

will there be an open bar at the reception?

Unfortunately, there will not be an open bar. However, we will arrange for cash bar services.
