Can I bring a plus one?
Your invitation is addressed to everyone included, and the RSVP form offers that many places. If you’re unsure, just ask us.
Are children welcome?
We love your little ones, but we’ve kept the day to grown-ups.
What should I wear?
Garden formal. Think a summer garden party, dressed up: suits or smart trousers and shirts, dresses or jumpsuits. Please avoid white and black (black is for the bridal party). The ceremony is on grass, so block heels or wedges will save you sinking.
Can I wear white?
Absolutely, you’ll look stunning. However, you’ll be escorted out by the bridesmaids.
Is anything happening the day after?
Yes! A relaxed post-wedding barbecue from 12pm on Sunday 14 February at Emma’s parents’ place (Andrea & Stuart’s) in Rolleston. We’ll email the address to everyone who RSVPs. Bring a chair and your comfiest clothes. It’s also Valentine’s Day, so bring your favourite person too.
What about dietary requirements?
The buffet has plenty of gluten-free, dairy-free and vegetarian options. Tell us about anything else in the RSVP form and we’ll pass it to the caterers.
Is there parking?
Yes, there’s plenty of parking on site. It’s a rural venue, so we recommend carpooling, then catching the bus home. Cars left overnight need to be collected by 11am the next day.
How do I get home?
We’re running a bus from the venue back to Christchurch and Rolleston at the end of the night. It leaves between 11:30pm and midnight, and we just ask everyone catching it to chip in $10. Seats are limited, so it’s first in, first served. Tick it in your RSVP and we’ll email you the details.
Can I take photos?
Not during the ceremony, please. It’s unplugged, so we can see your faces rather than your phones, and our photographer Libby Elmers has it covered. After that, snap away! We’ll have a QR code on the day where you can share your photos and see everyone else’s.
What about gifts?
Having you there is the best gift. If you’d like to give something, a contribution to our honeymoon fund would mean the world. We’ll share the details closer to the day.
