FAQs

Question

Is this virus going to change the wedding date?

Answer

Unfortunately, we have decided to postpone our wedding. While we are sad about doing this, we care about the health and safety of our guests, and feel this is the best decision for everyone. Our new date is the 16th of October, 2021!!

Question

Will masks be required?

Answer

We will be monitoring the situation, and we will make a final decision on this closer to our new date. If you are fully vaccinated, you should not have to worry about a mask. Though, if you still feel more comfortable having/wearing one, you are more than welcome!

Question

Will the virus effect the guest list?

Answer

At this time (July 2021), we are unsure about guest list restrictions, and we will update closer to the date.

Question

You guys live in St. Louis now. Where will the wedding be?

Answer

While we have moved to St. Louis, our wedding will still be in Memphis!

Question

Where are you registered?

Answer

Gifts are not expected, but are greatly appreciated! Here on our website, there is a tab for our registries. We have an Amazon, Target, and Zola registry. We are also starting to save up to buy a house, if that is something you'd like to help us with. We would like to note that our Amazon registry is set to deliver to Holly's parent's house, so don't panic when it says it is being delivered to Memphis!

Question

What is the deadline to R.S.V.P?

Answer

Please please please please PLEASE R.S.V.P no later than the 25th of September. There is a tab on this website, or if you/a guest you know is technologically challenged, please let either Holly, Kyle, or one of their parents know you will be attending, and who is coming with you (unless you're flying solo). We cannot guarantee we will be able to hunt you down if you don't answer, which means you could miss out on the festivities. If you do not R.S.V.P, you will not be able to sit or eat, due to the head count effecting the number of chairs and the amount of food. Sorry..... While we do plan to have extra chairs, these will be limited, so we STRONGLY encourage everyone to R.S.V.P in a timely manner. Thank you!

Question

Why are the ceremony and the reception two separate events?

Answer

We did this so that people who may only want to come to one or the other can let us know. Some people may just want to watch us get married, and some people may just want to eat, drink, and be marry. If you plan on coming to both, please be sure to R.S.V.P to both. Thanks!

Question

Can I bring a date?

Answer

Unless we have already said "you have a plus 1", please let us know if you need/want a plus 1. The headcount directly affects how many chairs and tables we need, and how much food we will need to order. Unless you want your date standing and not having anything to eat..... Please note: asking us for a plus 1 does not guarantee you will be getting a plus 1. Please be sure to ask, and receive a yes answer before attempting to bring a guest that was not previously listed.

Question

~Person~ is not on the invite. Can I bring them anyway?

Answer

If the invite does not have a "plus one" option, or say a person's name, please ask before RSVPing for a guest that is not listed. Please refer to the note of the previous question!

Question

Are kids invited?

Answer

Absolutely! If you would like to bring your kids, you are more than welcome! Be sure to let us know so we have a more accurate head count! The reception will be a more *ahem* adult event as the night goes on, so keep that in mind when considering bringing the little ones!

Question

Is there a dress code?

Answer

Our wedding will still be Halloween themed, so if you would like to dress up, that is fine! All that we ask is that you keep your costume/outfit more on the formal side for at least the ceremony. Masquerade attire is also acceptable!

Question

Is there parking? Is it free?

Answer

Yes, there is parking, and yes, it is free. One thing, is that there are a limited number of spaces. We recommend carpooling or Ubering/Lyfting if possible. There may or may not be parking available in the Central Barbeque lot, but that is under the descression of free space, and it is not covered by Avon Acres security. Keep that in mind with deciding when you will arive and if you are going to carpool!

Question

What time should I arrive?

Answer

We would really like to start around 4:30, so we ask that people plan to be there at 4:15 at the latest, just so we can start as on time as possible. If you arrive after the ceremony has started, please go to the lawn area to the right of the building until the reception.

Question

Can I take pictures with my phone?

Answer

Yes and no. We would really appreciate if people kept their phones away for the ceremony so our photographer can get the best pictures possible. As I'm sure you can guess, this day means a lot to us, and we would rather not look back on our photos, and see people watching through a screen. We promise we will share our pictures with everyone once we get them! We paid for a photographer so we could allow people to be in the moment with us, so please keep all your cameras, phones, tablets, and any other photo taking devices away for the ceremony! The reception is fair game, and we will even have a snapchat filter people can use for the special occasion!

Question

Are you having a cocktail hour?

Answer

Kinda. We are having a cocktail "however long it takes to flip the room". This time will be spent on the venue's lawn area, so you may need to dress acordingly, or bring extra layers for that.

Question

What kind of bar will you have?

Answer

We will be having an open bar for the night. We do ask that you drink responsibly, and don't drink and drive! If you need help with getting a ride home, please let us know!

Question

I don't see where to put my dinner choice. What's the deal?

Answer

We will be having a buffet, so no need to worry about the dinner choices!

Question

I don't see my questions here. Help!

Answer

No worries! If you have any questions we haven't listed here, please don't hesitate to reach out before the wedding! Please keep in mind that we may not be available to answer any questions on the day of, so please try and reach out to one of our parents!
