What does it mean for 18+ older guests?
While the bride and groom love little ones, they want the wedding day to be a stress free time for all guests and the parents. All wedding guests must be 18 or older, unless they are in the bridal party. It is expected that all guests respect the decision of the bride and groom.
What does black cocktail attire mean?
The wedding theme colors are white and black. The bride and groom kindly request that the guests wear black dresses, pants, shorts, jackets, and men/women can wear a white dress shirt.
Where is the registry?
Guests can access the registry through the registry tab on this website. They can also go to target.com and search the couple's name under find registry. The couple is registered to target and also have a honeymoon fund (top choice). Any and all gifts will be highly appreciated.
What time should we arrive to the venue?
The ceremony starts at 4pm sharp. Hopefully, guests can arrive anytime before 3:45. Any guests that arrive right as the ceremony starts will have to wait until the ceremony has started to take a seat in the back.
Where can we stay the night close to the venue?
Chatham and Gretna both have great hotels that guests from out of town can stay at.
Can it be BYOB?
No. The venue is strict with their ABC license and no coolers are allowed to be permitted on the premises and self served. The couple has included an open bar with beer and wine for guests only. Any violation of this policy will result in a warning and failure to comply can lead to a fee for the couple.
Why RSVP? What happens if I don't RSVP?
RVSP is extremely important for guest invitations, chairs, and the caterer. If you do not RSVP for the wedding you will not have a spot to sit and have dinner. The couple goes through very detailed preparations for a seating chart and if someone does not RSVP their spot will be taken by someone else.
Can I bring a plus one?
When you go to RSVP, it will have the amount of people and names in that household. If you see a "guest" you can use that as a plus one. If there is not a "guest" option when you type in your name, you do not have a plus one. Because the guest list is so limited, guest plus one's have only been given to those who are already in long-term relationships that the couple knows.
Will your wedding be indoor or outdoor?
Weather permitting, the ceremony will be held outside, as well as, the cocktail hour. The reception will be indoors. Backup plans have been put in place in case of bad weather.
Am I allowed to take photos at your wedding?
The couple is opting for an unplugged wedding ceremony so that guests are not distracted by their devices and the professional wedding photographer can get the best possible shots without the interference of other flashes or mobile screens. Please have your phone away as the ceremony begins.
