Ok my wedding is in August of next year me and the FI are aruging over if we should have a formal or causal wedding..

So what do you think would be better?

I think both have their high points and low points.  I also think that a bride and groom should be able to make decisions, like style, fairly easily by compromising.

Sit down and decide what each of you likes best about that particular style and then incorporate pieces of both into your wedding.

Look at compromises - semi-formal, fancy but daytime, fancier versions of favorite home cooked meals served on china.

Neither is better, it's a matter of personal taste and budget and, as suggested, there are ways to meet in the middle (ex. a more formal daytime wedding,)

Price can be a consideration. Formal weddings are often more expensive than casual weddings because they are usually at night when venues are priciest, may have more expensive food, more alcohol consumed, fancier decorations, etc. That's not to say that a casual wedding is cheap, but it generally is easier to have a cheaper casual wedding.

All I can add to what the others have said is that this is the first and probably most basic decision of wedding planning, and if you're arguing over it already...
