FAQs
Question
When should I RSVP by?
Answer
Please RSVP by October 18! If you have any issues with this, please just communicate with us!
Question
What if I don't RSVP by the deadline?
Answer
If we do not receive an RSVP back from you by our specified deadline (10/18), you will be marked as "not attending". The reason for this being that we must provide accurate guest counts for our vendors within a timely manner. We hope you understand and we will miss you celebrating with us!
Question
What will we be eating?
Answer
We will have a snack during cocktail and then a meal during the reception! We will have lots of options for you but would love to keep the element of surprise. The food is delicious!
Question
What time should I arrive?
Answer
We ask that you arrive at the ceremony 30 minutes prior to it starting to ensure you are able to sit where you wish.
Question
What if I am running late to the ceremony?
Answer
Our day is being coordinated on a strict schedule, which means we cannot push back the start time for anything due to people running late. If you happen to be running late, you will not be allowed into the ceremony. This avoids distractions to not only the other guests but also the bride and groom.
Question
Where should I park?
Answer
There is a parking lot across from the church on Willow Oak Dr. There is handicapped parking closer to the building and regular parking across the street.
Question
Will there be an open bar?
Answer
No, actually our wedding will be a dry wedding. We are not allowed to have alcohol at the church where our ceremony and reception will be!
Question
Can I take photos during the ceremony?
Answer
We are having an unplugged ceremony. This means we are asking that all phones be put away and turned to silent/off during the ceremony. We have hired professionals to capture all of the sweet, important moments of our big day and we would hate to have a well-meaning person's phone block that moment for our photographer to capture. After the ceremony, feel free to take as many pictures as you want! We promise to share the ceremony photos once we receive them.
Question
Can I bring a date?
Answer
Due to limited resources, we are only able to accommodate guests that are included in your invitation. If you received a plus one, it would be on your invitation.
Question
Can we bring our children?
Answer
You know your children best! If you know that your child will be an interruption during our ceremony, we kindly ask that you do not include them in your RSVP. However, we have included your children in your invitation.
Question
Is there a dress code?
Answer
We ask that you wear "business casual". Please no jeans!
Question
Do you have a wedding hashtag?
Answer
Yes! If you post any pictures, be sure to use #finallyanellison so we can see them too. There will also be a QR code on tables at the reception for you to upload photos to!
