To help us plan, we kindly ask that you RSVP by the date we've provided. If we don't receive your RSVP by the date specified, we can't make exceptions and will have to mark you as "no". We need to provide the venue with a total guest count in a timely manner, and we don't want to risk any hiccups in the planning process. We hope you understand.
To help make this an unforgettable evening, we kindly request that our guest dress to impress with their best formal attire. While we love a good T-shirt and jeans combo as much as the next person, we kindly ask that you leave them at home for this occasion. Ladies, we kindly ask that you avoid wearing white or shades of white -- we wouldn't want anyone to mistake you for the bride.
