Welcome Party
CasualWedding
We’re the first to admit - wedding dress codes are confusing! We want our guests to feel great and comfortable throughout the evening, so we are suggesting a dress code of Beach/Summer Cocktail & Semi-Formal attire. The weather might be hot, so think flowy dresses & block heels, linen suits, etc. Lastly, we encourage you to shop from your wardrobe! No need to indulge in fast fashion just for one night.Indian attire is welcome. Stiletto heels are not encouraged as the venue has indoor and outdoor spaces.
Brunch
Casual -
We are incredibly grateful that you are making the effort to celebrate with us, and for many of you this involves extensive travel and expense, and we do not want our wedding to be a burden on anyone.
We do not expect any gifts. Your presence and support at our wedding means more to us than any gifts ever could.
However, we acknowlUKedge that, for many of our family members, this may prove unacceptable. Our registries are still a work in progress, but you can find them at the links below:
The Jersey Shore
We’ve assembled a guide to our favorite/favourite places to beach, eat, and experience the best that the Northern Jersey Shore has to offer. If you have free time around the wedding weekend, we recommend extending your trip and exploring like a local. You’ll find us relaxing at the Avon beach the week before the wedding.
