The questions wedding guests ask, and how to answer them

The questions that always come up

• What time should we arrive, and when does it finish?
• What is the dress code?
• Can I bring a plus-one? Are children invited?
• Where do we park, and is there a taxi or shuttle back?
• Where should we stay?
• Is there a gift list?
• What is the food, and can you cater for my allergy?
• What happens if it rains?

How to word the tricky ones

Plus-ones and children are where feelings get hurt. Say it once, warmly and clearly: "We'd love to celebrate with the people named on your invitation." That covers both without singling anyone out.

For gifts, a short line is enough: "Your being there is the best gift. If you'd like to give something, there's a list here."

Answer them all once

Write the answers in one document. Then put them behind a link guests can ask, by turning that document into an AI agent. Guests ask in their own words ("can my kid come?") and get your answer.

Keep RSVP changes, money and anything sensitive coming to you. The agent passes those on rather than answering.

Where to share it

Add the link to your invitation or wedding website, the group chat and the reminder message a week before. A QR code on printed invitations works well for older guests.
