We are excited to see you all to celebrate the beginning of our next chapter together with an evening filled with love, music, and food as we toast to our engagement. Your presence means the world to us. Please review the engagement party program and frequently asked questions below.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I update my RSVP?
RSVPs are closed; however if you need to update your RSVP you can do so from RSVPify directly (you should have received a confirmation email with your RSVP) or send an email to itsgoingdownyall@gmail.com.
If you're unable to attend the event from 5:00 to 9:00 PM, feel free to join us for the after party at Night Heron, near the Fox Theater.
What should I wear?
For the dress code think of semi-formal as the minimum. The couple will be dressed to the nines, feel free to join them or come in whatever makes you feel stylish and comfortable.
The engagement party will be held on an indoor-outdoor rooftop space, so we recommend bringing a jacket to stay comfortable throughout the evening. It is expected to be cool, with temperatures likely ranging between 58°F and 65°F.
What should I bring?
Your presence and punctuality are all we wish for! To ensure you don’t miss the couple’s arrival at 5:30 PM, please be at the venue at 5 PM.
If it feels unnatural to come empty-handed, you’re welcome to bring wine or flowers.
