1. Can you tell us more about the rooms at the Sir Francis Drake Hotel?
We have a "special" block of rooms booked at a rate of $139/night (2 person occupancy). The hotel has some really good specials , so please check them all out here before booking. Those of you renting cars should check out the "free parking" deals. Also note we don't get any kickbacks if you mention our names. In fact, it's probably better you don't associate yourselves with us at all.
About parking: Some of the out of town guests might not need to rent a car. The Drake is located right in the heart of downtown San Francisco, which is tourist ground zero. We could be convinced to pick you up at the airport too - or we will send a suitable (unsuspecting) proxy.
Those of you driving in just for the event should consider parking at the Sutter & Stockton garage. Since it's city run the rates are a little better, but not by much.
1.5 The Drake looks fancy. What kind of stuff should I expect?
Probably the most important thing to some of our guests is the free internet access at no extra cost.
Update: Some of the deals include some pretty sweet Terry Cloth animal print robes, and there WILL be a group robe picture, so please bring them to the reception.

Those of you wishing to cram in multiple people per room are encouraged to get additional cots ($30/night) or if you are small enough to fit in one, cribs are apparently free.
2. Where are you guys registered?
It took a really long time for us to figure out the best way to say this eloquently. We haven't registered anywhere, and this is not because we just did not get around to it. In lieu of gifts, guests are encouraged to express their love and appreciation for us in other more creative ways (preferably in US currency).

2.5. But I really really want to get you this awesome toaster.
We don't eat bread. Or toast.
3. Can I also bring my...(insert potentially unwanted guest's name here).
When you receive your invitation in the mail, please pay close attention to the number of people it is addressed to on the outside envelope. That's the number of people in your party. Sorry we had to spell it out like this, but a lot of people don't read Miss Manners anymore. This poll may also be of interest to some.
This might depend on the response from #2 above. Update: We can say with certainty that it will not be Maldives, Europe, Australia, Ottawa, or San Mateo.

4. How many people are coming ?
We're trying to keep our number to around 140. This will of course depend on how many guests read and comprehend item #3 above.

6. Will there be waterguns, robots, or light sabres at this event?
Let's just say if you happen to bring any of those items, you won't be turned away.
Um...we're a little confused as to what point #5 is!?!
What is the RSVP deadline?
RE: No-carb diet
You're just saying that because you don't believe that I've found the world's perfect toaster for you. I found it at Target. Trust me, you'll both be pleased. :-p
The RSVP deadline will be...a month or so after you receive the invitation...which will be hopefully sent out soon.
FYI, when we made our first comment about the confusion with regards to #5, there was NO #5 at the time. Now that there actually is a #5, you could probably delete our initial comment...and perhaps this one as it won't make sense once you delete the initial comment.
By the way, excellent blog and pictures. Most enjoyable. So there's no restriction on colour of light sabres? Are you partial to Sith or Jedi colours? Does that relate to the planned wedding colours? Good to know anyway...
I'm pretty partial to Sith colours myself.
I don't know any difference between sith and jedi colors, so i am neutral. As a matter of fact, we haven't decided on what our wedding color theme will be!
Sounds like a Sith color wedding theme to me! This is going to be fun!! (I must lead a very boring life ...)
