Another guest in white question
I saw the last post about the SMIL wearing a white pant suit and I have a similar dilemma. My future SMIL mentioned wearing a dress that is all white on top adn flows into a darker blue at the bottom. I todl her to wear whatever she wants because I don't care as long as its not all white. Now my mom and both MOH's are frakign out on me and telling me to "correct" the problem. Is this really bad, especially if I don't mind?

Don't sweat it everyone loses their minds when it comes to weddings
I also don't understand why everyone knows what everyone else is wearing before the wedding. This wouldn't happen with any other party. This isn't directed at you, OP, just the phenomenon in general. I dealt with this as well.
nice to see someone who doesn't really care
And if a bride doesn't care, she doesn't care, but that doesn't mean that all brides don't, or shouldn't care. There's no prize for being the bride who cares the least.

I had found out about it the day before my bachelorette, so when all the girls were sitting around having drinks that night I mentioned it, and got mixed reactions. Some of the girls were saying "you absolutely need to call her and tell her not to wear it and to pick another color," and others said "it doesn't matter, she's just an idiot and doesn't know any better." I had chosen right away that I didn't care enough to say anything to her or tell her to pick something else to wear, I really didn't care that much. But it is funny how many people would tell someone to pick something else out to wear. People are adults and can wear whatever they choose.

In this particular case, I don't think that many guests would care. Unless it's ALL white, I wouldn't.
I DO think wearing all white to a wedding is rude, mainly because I've heard it so so many times.
When you're picking out a random dress for someone else's important function, why would you choose that one occasion to pick the one color that you've heard over and over might be considered extremely rude to wear. Just pick one of the other 800 available colors that WON'T be taken the wrong way.
