Wedding Questions Answered

1 minute read

We’ve received multiple questions from guests and have updated the wedding page accordingly.

R.S.V.P. Form

Does the R.S.V.P. form require a Google account?

No. The R.S.V.P. form does not require a Google account.

Here is a snapshot of what is causing the confusion.

Google Forms Asterisk

The text “Sign in to Google to save your progress” explains that you can use a Google account and your progress will be saved. The text “* Required” explains that red asterisks indicate required questions. The features are unrelated, yet Google helpfully placed the required text below the sign-in link creating the suggestion that an account is required.

I’m not attending physically, but the questions are still required. What should I do?

We created a new R.S.V.P. form to skip questions that are not applicable.

Google forms do not allow conditional questions; either a question is required or it is or not. However, I recently learned that form sections may be conditionally skipped and all questions in a skipped section are unanswered, required or not. To maintain question continuity, we needed to create a new form. If you have already submitted a form, you do not need to submit again.

Dress Code

Someone pointed out that we had not set a dress code, so we’ve posted it.

From our Wedding page, our dress code is:

  • Clothing is not optional.
    • This is intended as humor to say: “You must be wearing clothes to attend. No swimsuits or topless exhibitions please.”
  • Business-casual is requested, but not required”
    • This is the current definition of business casual:
      • A comfortable collared shirt or a blouse, sleeve length may be long or short,
      • slacks or skirt, and
      • shoes.
  • Informal, business-formal , or semi-formal attire is appreciated”
    • Looking sharp in more formal attire is appreciated, but you don’t need to go overboard:
      • This includes suits with or without ties, pant suits, or more formal dresses.

We aren’t asking anyone to go out and buy new clothes, but this is a special occasion and we would like everyone to look sharp. However, we also want to be inclusive and understand that everyone has their own comfort level. We will not turn fully-clothed guests away, but would appreciate everyone dress near business-casual.
