Just recieved a Wedding invite....

[Deleted User] · June 2012

We just received a wedding invite to our friends wedding that has a note at the bottom telling us what colors we can and can't wear to the wedding.... Really!??!!

Lobsters25 · June 2012

Thank you for just making my Saturday morning. Please tell me black and white are two of the colors

maccor16 · June 2012

wow...

I would purposely wear one of the colors on the do not wear list and claim I read the notice wrong. That is just unbelievable.

unicorntrees · June 2012

I've heard of themed weddings, like pirates vs. ninjas, where the guests are invited to dress up, but color coordinating....that's completely different. Not something I've ever heard of before.

Do share: what are the colors that are acceptable and not acceptable?

DeClue82 · June 2012

That is definitely... interesting... what are the colors??? if it's not black and white then I'm just beyond confused...

JordynLeighx3 · June 2012

In that case I would be prepared with your wallet for a cash bar and a dollar dance :P

[Deleted User] · June 2012

Ooh man, that sounds like a fun time. What colors?

ohnoitskaroljo · June 2012

Wow that is RIDICULOUS. Like the PPs, I wanna know what colors were listed!!!

"We request that guests wear shades of brown, blue, tan, purple or a muted color". Please try to avoid bright colors, like red and orange and yellow and pink. Also, women please don't wear black or white.

ohnoitskaroljo · June 2012

omg that's just ridiculous. why do people care that much!?!

unicorntrees · June 2012

Are they artists? Because that's the only thing I can think of that would make all of this make sense. I mean I still wouldn't be happy about the color thing, but at least I could understand where the request was coming from. Plus, black is my go-to color, haha.

Also, when is this wedding? I want to know what the guests actually wear! Keep us posted!

[Deleted User] · June 2012

No they are not artists. There wedding colors are royal blue and orange (last I heard). There wedding is in September, I would usually wear pink or black or some bright color. Ugh

S6ix · June 2012

I would wear my loudest, brightest outfit. The nerve of some people!

DeClue82 · June 2012

I've never heard of anything like this!! Is there a reason? I've never heard that having a wedding guest color palet makes photos look a certain way either... I can't imagine what is the thought behind this? How well do you know this person?

colstj1 · June 2012

Wow that is horrible!!

Lobsters25 · June 2012

Please go buy something neon yellow. Ann Taylor has lots in it right now.

LibbyC730 · June 2012

Oh my goodness. I'm sure it's for the sake of the pictures, but please--guests as props?!? I find it odd their planned colors are so bold. Seems like it would clash with their guests' "muted colors."
If you do wear the "right" colors, please make your hair, jewelry, shoes, and cleavage as obnoxious as possible...say they're the only things you had that matched the dress!

saraschilling88 · June 2012

Wow, just wow!

</div><div>Enen then, I feel like everyone wearing the same colors would make pictures bland and boring. I really like the obnoxious accessory idea, although I would probably just wear whatever I was planning to wear already, it that was something bright, oh well.

[Deleted User] · June 2012

I don't know. It is so weird. I have no idea what I will wear but I am not buying anything new in those colors. I couldn't believe it when I saw the invite.

Eyejewel · June 2012

wow thats an extensive list . cant believe that.

Binkieloo · June 2012

My wedding colors are black and white, and we have asked all our guests to dress in the color scheme. I would never be so bold as to insist on uncommon colors. I thought requesting black and white is easy as everyone has some of those colors in their closets. We wanted it to give a visual feel to the wedding. We've also asked our photographers to not do any sepia photos, only color and black and white.

natsfans84 · June 2012

I went to a wedding last summer where the invitations stated "As our colors are blue and green, we'd ask that you choose to wear a different color to our celebration".. so I wore green. I'd rather have everyone in similar colors so they looked good in the pictures, not all different clashing colors EXCEPT the ones in our theme!

manderz223 · June 2012

I wonder if they are asking the guests to not wear any bright colors so that they dont draw attention away from the bride? Hmmmmm.....sounds odd too me! How close are you with the bride and groom? If you dont care to piss them off, where the loudest color and print you can find! LOL
