How do you ask your guests to dress modest???

"This is explaining things, but using inappropriate language and an aggressive "tone" via the short sentences and the language."


^^^^That's how I pictured your face when you criticized PP's sentences for being short.

Our dress is formal but I would like to ask people to also dress modest. We are very Christian and I dress modestly. There are a few certain people that I'm concerned about and I would like to address the issue respectfully and to everyone on the invites.

Ok, so you asked us how to respectfully ask people how to dress modest. We advised that you can't do that and be respectful. Then you say this:

Well I'm glad I don't know anyone who would get offended by a wedding invitation that says the dress is modest. If you take it personally then you have issues with yourself. The more I deal with selfish people like you the more I understand where bridezillas come from. I am doing so much so that my guests have a wonderful time but it is mine and my fiancés day. Not my guests. I have learned one thing from posting on here. Not to worry about other people on my day.

And I wonder why, if you don't have a concern about disrespecting people and being polite, you would ask the question on an etiquette board in the first place? And then, why would you proceed to reject all the advice as rude?

You asked a question that comes across as fairly common sense and we provided good responses. You just don't like them. Not our problem. Think about it and accept it, or move on. The answer won't change because you want to proceed to demand modesty.

You throw the advice in our faces and call us rude and then you and your buddy Heidi get upset that you think the posts increase in snark and I wonder, what's going on in your head?  In fact, I read your comments about having a dry wedding and wanting conservative dress because you are Christians as insinuating that others who are not concerned about the dress and drink wine not as good about being Christian.

Do you expect us pass around a flask of fruit punch and a Pez dispenser in agreement?

I never once said that I was having a dry wedding due to our religion. I clearly said that it is because the venue won't allow it and we have recovering alcoholics in the family. Don't comment on something if you aren't even really going to read it. I don't dress modest only because of my religion. It is a person choice. I already said that I am taking the advice and I will not be putting modest dress on the invitation. If you are going to try to back something up at least read all the facts before you do so.

No comment about the first 2?

And the rest you clarified after the fact, but just showing how you are perceived when you make comments.
