Guest attire request

lyndausvi · November 2009

If most of your friends are like you then they will mostly likely dress 'dark' anyway. If it's family, well I do not see the point. I doubt you would want them to tell you to wear a pastel floral print to their wedding. I would imagine you would want to wear something you are comfortable in.All that said, even if I did wear pastel colors (which I do not normally), as a guest I would more than likely know your style and would wear black anyway on my own.

i knew about weebly before the knot, too. But certainly not photobucket, tinypic, tinyurl, or anything else.

meh, one of my best friends wore a black wedding dress. her husband wore a utility kilt, and they were married by a friend who had his name legally changed to Dracula. they were married on halloween a couple years ago. their wedding was awesome. she didn't tell anyone what to wear though, people knew her and her fi knew she'd be open to anything.

kati- I am not sure where you grew up, but we did not have a dress code at my schools. I also do not always dress quite as extreme as the signature picture. That was on a vacation and we were visiting friends/going out to a club.ndaroxy- It takes me about an hour to get ready most days; 2 if I am going all out, as in this picture.pumpkin- I work at home as a closed captioner.

ummm how old are your guests? its ok to tell them what to wear if theyre like... 5.

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

nda_roxybabe · November 2009

My friend swears the words are "poisoned rationality" umm, no.

Am I the only person who thinks they look like they are dressed as Beetlejuice and Lydia from the wedding scene in Beetlejuice? It looks like a Halloween costume, not something you would wear every day.

goheels05 · November 2009

hahaha. You just inspired a poll.

...& you thought my all white wedding decor (NOT forcing ppl to wear ALL one color) was dreadful? HA!

kati- I am not sure where you grew up, but we did not have a dress code at my schools.Did you go to public school? I have never heard of a public school that did not have a dress code. I attended school in central Texas oddly enough, and kids were regularly sent home and written up for failing to abide by the dress code.

So... the Real, Real question is: Team Bill, Team Eric, Team Sam or Team Sookie?

TurtlesAllTheWayDown · November 2009

Hmm. I went to Catholic school, so we had a strict dress code (no pants except for dress-down days, no too-short skirts, at least 2 inches covering your shoulders, i.e. no spaghetti straps, no showing your stomach or underwear, stockings or tights with above-the-knee skirts, no visible piercings, no non-natural-looking hair color, no backless shoes). But my former public school just said nothing with profanity/alcohol/drugs on it and no showing your stomach. I think.

princesskittie · November 2009

tidetravel- Team Eric, indeed!kati- I went to most of high school in a suburb of Denver; the only rule I can remember was that you could not wear something offensive (i.e. shirts with swear words or nudity on them). I believe there may have been something about 'gang' colors or something as well. Nothing wrong with colored hair and black clothing.

tidetravel · November 2009

Well, that settles it. Real or not, you're ok in my book

kikibaby · November 2009

Boo! Sorry I slept through this. Yay team Eric, though.

LesPaul · November 2009

You've got it backwards. The reception is to thank your guests for celebrating your wedding with you. That's why you're spending money on them. And they're spending their money to attend, and to get you a gift, and to be there to wish you well. You cannot dictate their attire without looking like a jerk. I would ignore such a request. In fact, I would probably not attend, and would not send a gift either. You would get a nice, flowery greeting card.

Crazy!
