After reading the thread about guests' attire by poor @SarahRashid under "Attire and Accessories", I'm a bit nervous to ask (please don't hurt me!) but...
Is this okay for me to put on my wedding website? : "Female guests, please refrain from wearing white or ivory to the wedding. This is an evening wedding, so semi-formal to formal attire is encouraged. No jeans, tennis shoes or other casual-wear, please."
I added the part about no casual-wear after attending a friend's wedding last week where guests wore jeans and tennis shoes inside the cathedral! (I'm having a church wedding as well.) I was appalled at this, and do not want that to happen at my wedding! Plus, I as a guest felt awkward in my taffeta dress next to the lady in flats, skinny jeans and loose-fitting metallic top. I see how wedding guests dress as a respect issue. I guess I'm just under the impression that people should dress up and look their best for weddings. Is that too old-fashion a concept?
Is it not my place to tell my guests this, or is it okay for me to remind them that white and casual-wear are not acceptable at the wedding?
