THAT’S RIGHT, WE’RE GETTING HITCHED — SO STOP EVERYTHING YOU’RE DOING, GET OUT YOUR WALLETS, AND FILL IN THE BELOW QUESTIONNAIRE!

Our wedding will be somewhere inconvenient. It will require at least two planes and three trains. It’s cheaper to buy a season train ticket — you’ll need to pre-register by Tuesday. Flight Centre had a cheap ticket deal on last week. Can we confirm your attendance immediately?

  • Y/N

The date of our wedding will conflict with a major event in your life whether you like it or not, but because we’ve put out a save the date, you have to come to our thing instead. This is less of a question and more of a statement, but because this is a ‘questionnaire,’ we’ll put the yes/no option below.

  • Y/N

Will you be able to put into the wishing well?
(there is a minimum spend based on tax bracket)

  • Y/N

Could you please share with us the back three digits of your credit card? This is unrelated to the wedding day itself, but more the endless deposits we need to put down. Please place below:
__ __ __

If you selected ‘NO’ in the previous question, please state why you don’t want to give us, your friends, the back three digits on your credit card. You know we’re getting married, right? Our inconvenient destination isn’t cheap!

Given the wedding costs are so exorbitant by no fault of our own, only the decisions we’ve made, we’d strongly request everyone donate to our wishing well. Will you be donating to our wishing well?
(your response will impact our seating chart)

  • Y/N

The inconvenient destination we’re thinking about has both Winter and Summer at the exact same time, so you’ll need to pack for both seasons. American Tourister has a sale on extra large suitcases. Would you like us to send you a promo code for American Tourister?

  • Y/N

If you selected, ‘YES,’ great! In exchange all we ask for is the expiration date on your credit card. Once we have that, we’ll be all set! Please place below:

We’re excited about our untraditional wedding. As such, each guest will be requested to wear a very specific style of outfit that doesn’t suit their personality at all. We expect everyone to purchase these outfits themselves. A style guide will be sent to you in a following email. To help us pay for these style guides, could you please donate to our pre wishing well wishing well?

  • Y/N

Do you love our withjoy.com website as much as we do?
(not providing a ‘NO’ option)

  • Y/Y

We’ll be having a post wedding wishing well, is this email address the best one to contact you on for when that wishing well is activated?

  • Y/N

Can you bunk with Grandma Collingsworth?

  • Y/N

If you selected yes, great! Your spouse will be accommodated in our ‘uncles only’ room. Do you have earplugs?
(the night terrors are deafening)

  • Y/N

Festivities are to begin on Tuesday. We’ll then be having a break of 6 days, for a recovery the following Tuesday. Your attendance at the recovery is strongly recommended. There will be another wishing well at this event. Will you donate to this wishing well?

  • Y/N

Do you think four wishing wells is too many?

  • Y/N

If you selected ‘NO,’ great! We have a post-post wishing well scheduled for later down the track.
