Question 1

Can I bring a plus one?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We have many guests traveling with family, friends or partners. Our only request is that you keep us updated on the number of guests in your party.

Question 2

Do you have a registry?

Accepted Answer

We do not have a registry, nor do we expect gifts of any kind. We are so grateful that people will be travelling from all over the world to join us, and your presence is the best gift we can ask for. That said, we are providing information at the link below for guests who have expressed interest in sending a gift.

Question 3

I need help making a packing list! What do you recommend bringing?

Accepted Answer

Layers! Autumn days in Cape Town typically range from 21 to 25 degrees Celsius (70 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit), but temperatures at night can dip as low as 13 degrees Celsius (55 degrees Fahrenheit). Cape Town's weather can be unpredictable, so preparing for all eventualities and bringing layers such as light jackets, shawls, etc. 
Sun protection! Depending on the weather, most of the events of the week will be outdoors during the day. 
Swimming costumes! We will welcome guests to enjoy the swimming pools at the venue, depending on the weather.

Question 4

Is there a color palette that guests must follow?

Accepted Answer

While we do have a dress code indicated on the program, we are not requiring that guests follow a specific color palette. Wear what makes you feel happy! Our only request is that guests refrain from wearing white to the formal wedding ceremony on 2nd of April.

Question 5

What language will the event be in?

Accepted Answer

We recognise that there are many languages spoken between our two families, and among our friends. We will continue sending written wedding updates in English and German, as the majority of our guests speak one of or both languages. Speeches and ceremonies in English, German or Shona will be translated as feasible. Any guests who have specific concerns about language are welcome to out to us through the question box.
