Question

How should I RSVP?

Answer

Please use our website's RSVP section! We are not using paper PSVP cards for any event during our wedding weekend. We kindly ask that you RSVP by January 1, 2025.

Question

WHEN SHOULD I RSVP?

Answer

We respectfully request that you RSVP by January 1, 2025. Our venue and caterer will be unable to accommodate guests added after January 15, 2025. Due to these considerations, we may not be able to host guests with late notice. Please be aware that this is a hard cutoff, and while we’ll do our best for any invited party, we can’t guarantee entry if you reply after 1/15.

Question

Are there trains to Boston from my city?

Answer

Many of our guests will be attending from Rhode Island or New York City. Amtrak offers service along this route on its Northeast Regional line. Acela trains may also be available.

Question

Which airport is best?

Answer

We recommend choosing Logan International Airport in East Boston, MA.

Question

What is the dress code for your wedding?

Answer

All day-of activities on February 15, including our ceremony and reception, are black-tie optional. For more information, please consult a more thorough explainer at: bit.ly/dresscodeFAQs.

Question

Are there any colors or styles you'd prefer me to wear?

Answer

For our guests who plan to wear suits, we ask that you wear a tuxedo or dark suit and tie. For those who plan to wear dresses, we encourage midi-length or tea-length cocktail dresses, evening gowns, or formal jumpsuits. We trust your taste and encourage you to be creative!

Question

What is the dress code for your rehearsal and rehearsal dinner?

Answer

There is no need to get dressed up for our rehearsal -- please feel free to come in casual attire. Members of the wedding party should plan for semi-formal or cocktail attire at our rehearsal dinner.

Question

What time should I arrive at the ceremony?

Answer

Our ceremony begins promptly at 7:00pm; the Boston Public Library will open its doors at 6:45. We kindly ask our guests to arrive at 6:45 to allow time for coat check and seating before the service begins.

Question

Is the Boston Public Library wheelchair-accessible?

Answer

Yes; an elevator will be available to guests.

Question

Should I take photos at your wedding?

Answer

We respectfully ask that your personal phones and cameras remain off and out-of-sight during our brief and intimate ceremony, including for photos. All phones must be silenced and stored during this time without exception. Our photographers will be capturing our ceremony -- please leave it to the pros until cocktail hour! We’d love to see your reception photos, and we’ll provide Instax cameras for guests to capture special moments at the reception.

Question

Should I bring a plus-one?

Answer

All members of your party will be named on your RSVP form. If the words "and guest" or your plus-one's name are visible when you RSVP, we look forward to seeing the two of you! Due to limited venue space, we unfortunately can't accommodate plus-ones beyond those named or otherwise listed. For the purpose of expediency, we respectfully request that members of the wedding party refrain from bringing guests to our afternoon ceremony rehearsal. We look forward to seeing them at dinner!

Question

Should I bring my children?

Answer

We love our younger nieces, nephews, and cousins. Unfortunately, we will be unable to accommodate guests under eighteen years of age on our special day. We appreciate your understanding.

Question

What kind of food will be available at your wedding?

Answer

We will be serving hors d'oeuvres during cocktail hour, followed by a seated three-course dinner. Numerous options for vegetarians will be available throughout.

Question

I have food allergies! How should I let you know?

Answer

Not to worry! Please use our RSVP form to indicate any food allergies or sensitivities for yourself or a member of your party.

Question

Will there be an open bar?

Answer

Yes, we will have an open bar available throughout the evening.

Question

Are you registered for gifts in addition to your honeymoon fund?

Answer

We've decided to forego a traditional registry in lieu of a honeymoon fund and several options to help make our wedding weekend even more wonderful! We’d love to thank our bridesmaids and groomsmen with a spa day, and have added several options to help us give our wedding party a day of relaxation at Raffles. We hope you will consider contributing in any way, and are grateful for your presence on our special day.

Question

I still want to send a physical gift. What should I do?

Answer

We will provide a card box at our reception for notes and small gifts. If you'd like to mail an item, please reach out to hopeandkyle2025@gmail.com to coordinate!

Question

How's the weather in Boston in February?

Answer

Expect cold (and maybe snow!) For our out-of-town guests: it might be wise to pack a comfortable, water-resistant pair of shoes, particularly if you plan to explore the city!

Question

Is there a hashtag for social media?

Answer

#wemayhope ♡

Question

I'm driving my personal vehicle to Boston. Where should I park?

Answer

We've reserved blocks of rooms at two hotels, Raffles and The Revere, both within close proximity to our wedding venue. Each hotel offers parking to guests, including valet parking, for a fee. If you need more information about parking, please contact the hotel of your choice directly. If you're not staying at either hotel, there are several pay-to-park garages located near BPL -- a short list is below. We recommend making a plan to park your car before the day of our ceremony, as street parking is very limited. 61 Exeter Street, Valet Garage Dist. from BPL: 0.2mi 126 Dartmouth Street, Dartmouth St. Garage Dist. from BPL: 0.3mi 199 Clarendon Street, Back Bay Garage Dist. from BPL: 0.2mi
