Wedding invites -attire?

On our invites we put semi-formal for wedding and blck tie for formal reception.

Never bothered. our guests know how to dress for a wedding.

If it is a Black Tie wedding or dressier, then I would definitely include the attire level on your invitations! Otherwise you can hope your guests get the hint through your invitation style and by googling the venue, or add a quick mention on your wedding website!

I didn't mention it on the wedding invitation but we did put it on the FAQ spot on our website.

I didn't mention it.. but I think it can depend on your family and friends and what they like to do in terms of dressing up.

I put on my website that garden wedding/winery attire is suitable for the venue. I don't feel I am dictating what people wear that way, just stating that is what you realistically should be wearing if you don't want to stick out like a sore thumb and feel uncomfortable. Specifically I did mention that thin high heels are a bad idea since the floor has slats.

I think that only if you are doing black tie that it should be stated on the invite as it takes longer for folks to buy/rent that stuff, whereas most of us can pull a standard wedding outfit out of our closet that morning when we remember to finally check the website

Nothing is a given these days unfortunately

I don't remember ever seeing it on an invite that I received, so I never even considered putting it on my invites.

In any case, I wouldn't feel comfortable telling people what to wear. Most people dress up for weddings anyway. If anyone decides to come to my wedding wearing jeans or sweatpants (which I have seen at a friend's wedding), I'll still be happy to see them. I'm inviting them, not their clothes.

I know for certain that our close family will be dressing up, and they're the ones who'll be on the formal pictures with us.

I did not mention a dress code, but I think its a given since its a wedding (but you never know).

We wrote semi-formal on our invites: means that suits and dresses are expected but not like ball gown/tuxedo type deal.

Hopefully people can adhere to it LOL

Seeing as how your wedding will be taking place at a city hall/ court house - I would think that it's standard for people to at lease not show up in jeans.

I haven't sent the invitations out - but when I do I will be putting in a little side mention saying formal wear but that is only because I am getting married at an outdoor venue where there will be small bonfires later in the night (I will also mention to bring a change of clothes for after the reception if they wish to get comfy).

I won't be putting a dress code. Unless it's formal, I don't think it's necessary to do.

That said, I will have a notice for those attending my ceremony that they should not wear heels and make sure their shoes are comfortable and safe for a (very) short hike. We are getting married at a waterfall, and while you can drive almost directly to the site, it's still a little rough.

We didn't put it on our invites but we put it on our wedding website.

View quoted message Amen on the common sense thing!

View quoted message I already did my invites and just realised maybe I should have mentioned the dress code. Also wedding is semi-casual. Getting married at a city hall but it's more like a courthouse wedding.

We put our dress code on our website with all other details e.g. children.

I didn’t put a dress code. But, one thing I’m slowly realizing is that common sense does not exist so I expect some guests to arrive in more casual clothing.

We're not mentioning a dress code since it's not black tie. We're hoping everyone knows how to dress for a wedding!

We're getting married in a barn but we still want our guests dressing nicely so we will be putting a dress code on the invites just so no one shows up in jeans lol
