Is there a dress code?

For our wedding, we're aiming for a semi-formal dress code. 🌟 So while you don't need to break out the black tie attire, we'd appreciate it if you avoided jeans and t-shirts. πŸ‘–πŸš«πŸ‘• Think somewhere in between casual and formal. πŸ‘—πŸ‘” Also, please refrain from wearing white, beige, cream, or ivoryβ€”those traditional bridal colors. 🀍🚫 We're looking forward to seeing your stylish attire! πŸ‘—βœ¨

Are you having an "unplugged" ceremony?

Can I bring a plus one?

While we'd love to accommodate everyone, we have a strict guest list to stay within our budget. πŸ“‹πŸ’΅ Our celebration is strictly RSVP only, and we will only be able to accommodate those listed on your wedding invitation. πŸ“πŸŽŸοΈ We appreciate your understanding and hope you can still join us for our special day! πŸ’πŸŽ‰

Are children welcome?

While we adore your little ones, we kindly request that our wedding remains an adults-only event, with the exception of the children in the wedding party. πŸ‘ΆπŸš« This ensures that everyone can relax and fully enjoy the evening. πŸ₯‚πŸ’ƒ We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in making arrangements ahead of time to leave the kids at home so you can celebrate with us. πŸŽ‰ Thank you! πŸ™πŸ˜Š
