Questions about your invitation? Get in touch

Before you arrive

Good to know

A few things worth knowing before the weekend. Zodwa and Katleho are happy to help with anything else.

  1. BOB: bring your own bottle

    Both celebrations are BOB. No alcohol will be served or sold at either venue, so please bring along whatever you'd like to drink.

  2. What ‘black tie’ means

    Black tie, the dress code for the white wedding, is formal evening wear. It describes how formal the occasion is, not the colour of your outfit, so colour is welcome.

  3. RSVP for both days

    The white wedding and the traditional wedding are separate celebrations, so please reply for each of them in the RSVP form by 25 November 2026.
