    Formal! One of my fiancé’s cousins showed up in jeans to his brothers church wedding I couldn’t believe it. I’m gonna be furious if he dares show up in jeans to ours!

    Formal. But this depends on the venue and vibes of the overall wedding.

    The guests will be semi-formal (they don't have to wear 3 piece suits but please don't show up in jeans) and the wedding party/parents will be formal.

    Casual! My dress is short, and the gents aren't wearing jackets. I'm debating if I even want to wear shoes!

    I lean more towards formal however I love the casual form attire - so not suits but say dress pants and dress shirt with suspenders. Not a huge fan of the formal black tie events (but once again all personal preference

    Semi-formal - my groom wore a black suit, but not a tux, and I'd wanted the guests to dress up but no need for formal gowns or anything, just nice dresses/dress pants and shirts.

    Semi-formal with ladies at knee length or below and men with jackets. I've been to "casual" weddings before and was horrified at classless people.
