So now that invites are out and people have checked out our website, I'm getting all kinds of questions about our dress code... even FI is telling me I need to put something on our website about what it is. All that's on the website right now about attire is letting people know that the ceremony is on a lawn, so spike heels might not be best, and that the reception is in a barn with wood floors (versus dirt/sawdust like some barn venues are).
I seriously honestly don't care what people wear, but people seem so confused. FI is wearing nice dark jeans, boots, a shirt, tie, and vest. I'll of course be dressed up with a lace dress and pearl jewelry. Wedding's in September, where it could be pleasant or it could be hot. Barn has AC, ceremony area is fully shaded.
Is there ANY polite way to make suggestions about what to wear on the website, without saying "wear whatever you want", since that'll just confuse people? Should I say casual? FI linked me to this page from The Knot and I'd say we're on the casual section for ours:
