FAQs

What's the dress code?

Dress up in your best summer or beach semi-formal attire in any of the colours below. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes since the ceremony will be by the beach. No black tie is required, but please no jeans! Gentlemen are encouraged to wear long sleeves or linen blazers. Please avoid wearing plain white/ivory, plain black, neon, and metallic colors. If you have any questions regarding the attire, feel free to reach out to the bride or groom. For our family members, ninongs and ninangs, we will reach out to you separately.

Can I bring a plus one?

We would love to keep this event intimate, and will only be limited to our close friends and family. The names of the guests will be indicated in the invitation sent to you.

Are kids invited?

Although we adore your little ones, we have decided to keep our wedding an adults-only event - with the exception of those in our immediate family. We hope you understand and enjoy the night off!

When should I RSVP?

To help us with planning, we kindly ask that you RSVP on or before January 31 2025. If you are having trouble RSVPing, please contact the bride or groom. Unfortunately, if we do not receive your RSVP by January 31 2025, we will have to mark you as "not attending". We will miss celebrating with you, but we do need to finalize the guest count for the venue. We cannot make any exceptions. We hope you understand!

What time should I arrive?

We recommend arriving 15-20 minutes before the start of the ceremony to make sure everyone is on time. We understand that the venue is far away from everyone but we really hope you can make it to our special day! For guests that are coming from Manila, please expect the travel time to be 4-5 hours. We suggest that you book in a nearby resort and make the most of your trip!

Do you have a registry? Can I bring a gift?

Your presence at the wedding is enough and a gift is not necessary. However, if you wish to give us a gift, we would greatly appreciate a contribution for us to build our future home together. A QR code sign will be available at the wedding reception. If you would like to send us gifts, we have built an online wishlist which you can access through the link below. We are only limiting the gifts to those that we can bring with us when we move to our future home. We kindly request to have these sent to our home address. You may contact the bride or groom to coordinate the deliveries.

Can I take pictures during the wedding?

Our ceremony will be an "unplugged ceremony". This means no phones and devices! We ask that all our guests enjoy the moment and follow this. Rest assured, our hired professionals will be taking photos during the entire ceremony. We strongly encourage our guests to take photos and videos during the reception! Feel free to share your photos with us too.

Are there any colors I should avoid wearing?

Please refrain from wearing colors traditionally reserved for the bride. This includes white, ivory, or cream colors.

If you have any other questions in mind, please feel free to reach out to the bride or groom!
