* What to wear?
Wedding is one of those event that feels like paparazzi are everywhere (even if you ain't a celebrity). So it would really be appropriate to dress at your best and let all those camera capture your "Instagram-Worthy Posts and Smiles"! At least a semi-formal outfit will do.
For the Ladies
DOs: We would love to see everyone on their best cocktail dress or long gown. Be mindful of your dress, as much as possible no too much skin exposed, besides the wedding will still start with a church ceremony. Since I'm anticipating a cold weather in Tagaytay especially since it is December, I highly recommend that you bring your fashion scarf, shawl, bolero or blazers to pair with your lovely dress as well :)
For the Gentlemen
DOs We won't require everyone to come in suits but if you can why not! At the minimum, please wear a longsleeves top maybe with blazer or trendy jacket. Pair it with a linen slacks or dark dress pants. If you want to wear a necktie or bowtie, no problem as well :)
DONTs: Please.. No Jeans, No Shorts. No Flipflops or Open-toe sandals. Save those outfit on your next trip to the mall just not during our wedding :)
* Is it OK to bring a date? or exceed the allotted seats on the invite?
As much as we wanted to meet your date/fiance/husband/wife, we are working on a limited allowed guest list, so the answer is a NO unless your invitation specified that you can bring him/her. Believe me finalizing the guest list already gave us enough headache, we don't want more on our big day. Besides there would be a table assignment to be managed by our hired Wedding Coordinator, it would be a shame if you'll cause your uninvited guest to wait for you at the nearby coffee shop.
* Can we bring our child then?
We are not kiddophobics (not sure if there's such a term :p), but we wanted our wedding to be an Adult-Only-Affair. So we are limiting our kids list to those who are part of our entourage. Party will last until late night and we've prepared unlimited cocktail drinks so we can really let loose and have fun :D Grab this chance to spend time with friends so we recommend you leave your kids to a guardian for a while.
* Do I need to respond to the RSVP?
The answer is a big YES! Please, please respond on the RSVP provided together with your invitation. Let us know as soon as possible if you can make it to our wedding. We will rely on those responses for the final count that we will provide to our suppliers, especially the caterer. It would really be heartbreaking to see empty seats during the wedding coz it would not only mean not celebrating with those close to us but also a waste of money. We would appreciate it if you could inform us your attendance not later than a month before our wedding so we can re-allocate your seats to our other guests who are still in the waiting list, if necessary.
In short, No response = reallocation of seats; on-the-spot attendance might not do as well since our coordinator will rely on the guest list that we will provide them. Also, Last minute cancellation might lead to F.O (friendship over!), so don't try this :)
* The venue is too far, will you provide us transportation and place to stay?
If only we had millions to spend, we will. But given the circumstances the answer is NO. That is why we only selected as guests those who are really close to us. Those who are not looking forward only to eat for free and criticize what the couple prepared, but those who wanted to witness our vows and union. We understand that attending would cause you effort, and we highly appreciate it and we'll translate it as how much you love us. For your convenience though, we will help you find an affordable place to stay should wish to check-in to hotels nearby.

* The ceremony might be boring, maybe I can skip it and just head straight to the reception?
A wedding is not about the free sumptuous food, unlimited drinks, and giveaways provided during the reception, it only is a small part of the gathering, besides it is just the celebration part of the union of two individuals in the sacrament of marriage. How can you really party with them if you didn't even witness their vows. We personally chose a venue where the church ceremony and the place for reception is at one compound for that matter.
* We want to give you gifts but we don't know what you prefer, any tips?
We would appreciate any! Your presence alone, celebrating with us on our special day is a already a gift. But if you wish to share us your blessing as we start our married life we would prefer monetary gifts. We really do not have a place to start yet so we really cannot use those appliance as much as we want to :) so we opt to use that money to add up to our fund for our future home :)
<3 KIM & MAY
