Questions and Answers
General Questions
Q: Yes, children are invited to the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception for dinner, cake, sparkling juice toast, and family dancing.
Please include their names and ages on the RSVP. We look forward to seeing families come together to celebrate our love.
A: The dress code is "Aloha Formal."
This can include aloha shirts, dress pants, and fancy slippers. Longer summer dresses or elegant tropical attire are also perfect. Think bright colors, floral patterns, and breathable fabrics to stay comfortable in the climate. The Ceremony and the majority of cocktail hour will be outside. It is recommended that ladies' shoes be suitable for grass so that you do not sink into the ground. Chunky heels, wedges, or flats will work perfectly.
The Bride & Groom has put together a Pinterest board to help inspire your outfit.

Website Questions
A: No! You do not need to make an account to attend the wedding or contribute to our group registry. But if you would like to access some extra features and get to know other guests before the wedding, then making an account is encouraged.
A: Many items listed on the registry are high-ticket items, hoping to last a lifetime; typically, these items are priced higher. To make gifting more accessible, we have decided to break the total cost of the gift into smaller, more manageable group contributions.
The price of the gift on the registry is a fraction of the total cost. The bride and groom will receive all contributions and purchase their gifts.
A: When you make a profile, you have the option in settings to have your profile public. This allows other guest access to view your about me section and what events you are attending. Having a public profile does not allow random strangers on the internet access to your information.
