FAQs
What is the deadline to RSVP?
The RSVP deadline has closed early as we’ve received all responses and submitted the final count to our vendors. Unfortunately, we’re unable to make any guest count changes at this time.
Am I allowed to bring my children or a plus one?
As RSVPs are now closed and the final guest count has been confirmed, we’re unable to accommodate additional guests. With limited space, we kindly ask that children stay home with a sitter or family member so everyone can fully enjoy the evening.

Since the wedding is in November and Maryland weather can be unpredictable, please check the forecast before the outdoor ceremony.

How do I book a hotel room?
The hotel block for the wedding has ended, so discounted rooms are no longer available through the link. You are still welcome to book directly with the hotel at the standard rate. If you call 301-631-2000 to make a reservation, be sure to mention the “Raber Nichols Wedding”—they may be able to assist with availability or offer any possible discounts.
Complimentary breakfast is included with your hotel reservation.
Is transportation provided between the hotel and the venue?
We kindly ask that guests make their own transportation arrangements. The venue is about a 17-minute drive from the hotel. We recommend arranging for a designated driver or sharing an Uber with others to help keep costs down. While we would have loved to offer transportation, it's unfortunately beyond our budget. We truly appreciate your understanding and all of your support.
How can I contribute to the wedding registry?
We’re excited to share that we’ve set up a honeymoon fund as part of our registry! You can contribute in three ways:
1. Send us money via a payment app (like Zelle, Venmo, PayPal, or CashApp) to help us create unforgettable memories on our honeymoon. The links to these payment options can be found under the "Registry" tab on our wedding website.
2. Pay for specific items or experiences directly on our cruise ship through the registry link or by calling 800-801-3493. You can select from a list of activities, excursions, or upgrades that we’ll enjoy during our trip.
3. Bring a cash gift to the wedding! A cash box will be available at the reception for those who prefer to give a physical contribution.
Your contribution means so much to us, and we can’t wait to celebrate our special journey together with your support!
