Frequently Asked Questions
YOU HAVE QUESTIONS. WE HAVE ANSWERS.
I RSVP'd through this website. Do I really need to respond via paper card as well?
Yes please - it helps us keep track of the guest list and reconcile the budget. Please RSVP by August 8th.
We're coming from out of town - do you have hotel blocks?
Sure do. We have a hotel block at the host hotel Watergate, but also at the Marriott Georgetown and the State Plaza Hotel. Please refer to the "Logistics" tab. Hotel blocks are limited and expire the first or second week of August, so please book ASAP!
What's the proper attire for your wedding?
Formal / cocktail attire.
What is "Cocktail Attire"?
Fair question.
Fellas - Suit and tie. No need to wear a tux. Think your Sunday best with a little funk on it.
Ladies - That cocktail or evening gown dress paired with those heels. You know the ones.
Are kids under 18 allowed?
We love your kids but thought you might like a night off. Adults only please!
What about pets?
Is that a serious question?
Is there parking at the Watergate?
Indeed! And validated.
Are there vegetarian or gluten free food options?
Absolutely. Please indicate any dietary restrictions via the RSVP tab on this website.
What are your colors?
Purple. I'm pretty sure you knew that already.
What time should I arrive?
Please plan to arrive at least :30 minutes prior to the start of the 6:30pm EST ceremony start time. We don't want you walking the aisle at the same time as the bride - let's not make this weird.
What time will the reception end?
Midnight - but we may just relocate and keep the party going.
What should I do to prepare?
Excellent question. Both sides of the family like to dance. No seriously. We're worried people will skip the dinner and just decide to dance. To prepare, please make sure to adequately stretch and hydrate prior to the reception. We are not responsible for any pulled muscles or cramping due to dehydration.
I like to dance! What kind of music should I expect?
Everything. In an hour you'll probably hear Salsa, Motown, Merengue, Old School Hip Hop, Bachata, line dancing and trap music.
I've got a few additional questions that weren't answered by this website. How should I contact you?
Feel free to email Jason (Jason.P.McAlpin@gmail.com) or Nataly (Narias1011@gmail.com) with any additional questions you may have. Fair warning - if it's a question we've already answered, you will be publicly shamed on this page in the near future.
