Question

Q: What should I wear?

Answer

For Men • Dark suit or tuxedo (a tuxedo is often encouraged for evening weddings, while a dark suit works well for daytime or less formal ones) • Dress shirt (usually white or light-colored) • Tie or bow tie (depending on the level of formality, bow ties lean more formal) • Dress shoes (polished leather shoes, usually black or dark brown) ⸻ For Women • Long evening gown or sophisticated cocktail dress • Elegant separates (like a dressy skirt and top, if the overall look is formal) • Dressy accessories (clutch, jewelry, heels or dressy flats) ⸻ General Notes • Formal doesn’t usually require a floor-length gown for women, but it is very common and considered safest. • Black is absolutely acceptable at weddings these days (unless the couple says otherwise). • Colors should avoid clashing with the bridal party, but jewel tones, neutrals, or soft pastels are always safe choices. • Men should avoid lighter suits unless the wedding is daytime and the invitation specifies otherwise.

Question

Q: Can I bring a date/kids?

Answer

A: Check your invite! If it says “and guest,” bring someone fabulous. If it doesn’t, it’s probably just you this time. Kids are adorable, but this will be an adult-only celebration.
