What guests should know
Guests' FAQs
The DOs and DON'Ts
1. What should we wear to the wedding?
Our wedding will be a "Formal" event so we require our guests to be guided with the proper dress code.
For the LADIES:
* Please wear something that will not reveal too much (I mean, you are invited to a wedding. C'mon.) No mini-skirts, shorts or dresses that barely cover your "womanly" parts.
* Our motif is PINK and GRAY. We appreciate if you could wear dresses with shades of our color motif. If you don't have a dress with any of the two colors, it is okay to wear any hues except WHITE. Leave it to the bride, please. It is, after all, her day!
* I know flip-flops are in. But please, not in our wedding! You can wear high-heels, sandals and flats.
* FRIENDLY REMINDER: The venue is air-conditioned. You may want to bring shawls or boleros to keep yourself warm.
For the GENTLEMEN:
* Please wear short sleeves or long sleeves top. Also, please do wear slacks. Any color will do as long as it is appropriate.
* If you opt to wear a polo shirt, please partner it with a blazer to make it more formal.
* No MAONG pants, please!
* Again, no flip-flops. And also no open-toed sandals.
2. Can I bring a date? Can I bring a child? Children?
If you mean your significant other, it may be accepted but please inform us. But unless the RSVP specifically states "Your name and Guest", please do not do so.
We love kids. But please be reminded that this is an "Adult Only Affair". Also, wedding ceremony will start at late afternoon. So reception will end almost midnight. We don't think it is appropriate to children.
3. What is RSVP?
For those not familiar with this acronym, RSVP means Répondez s’il vous plait, French for “Please respond.” Why we opt to have an RSVP? Since we're on a budget, it will help us control the number of guests and finalize the headcount with our caterer.
Creating a guest list is not that easy. If you received an invite from us, it means that we want you to be part of our special day. If you cannot come, tell us as soon as possible. We hired our coordinator and you need to confirm it to them. If there is no RSVP from you, it means that you declined our invitation. Your seats will be automatically given to other guests. So please, no last minute cancellations!
4. Can we just head straight to the reception?
NO! The essence of the wedding is to witness the couple profess their love for each other. We invited you not for a free buffet meal, but to share our special moment in front of the altar. And please, do not arrive late. Don't be an "agaw-eksena".
5. Side comments, unsolicited opinions and many other blah-blahs!
I know we can't force everyone to like our wedding. But please, if you can't say anything good, keep it to your self. We put too much effort in preparing for our big day so it will be an insult to us if you criticize our own wedding. We don't want an added stress. Let's just enjoy the moment and be happy! :)
