I really want to be married later in the day, like after dinner, and have a coffee and dessert reception. I know that typically a wedding that late would be considered black tie formal but I know that my guests most likely will not have an evening gown or tux in their closets. Many of our guest, well actually basically all of our guests, will have to travel to get to our wedding and that is an added expense for them just to attend. Due to the economy and all of that I don't want to add expense of attire to my guests if it isn't necessary. I also do not want the reception to be overly formal, I want it to be inviting and fun. Anyway, I would like for people to dress semi-formal instead of black tie. I don't think this is an issue as far as etiquette is concerned but I was wondering what others thought about this. thanks
