Cocktail attire seems most appropriate. I feel like *MOST* people assume that for an evening wedding anyways.
cocktail / semi formal attire
wow? i can't believe some questioned why it wasn't on the invite... good idea to put it on the website though..i will make note of that now!
Thanks :) I put "Attire is semi-formal: dark suits for men, cocktail dresses for ladies" on the website and hopefully that gets the point across. :) I thought a formal invitation to an evening wedding was self-explanatory, but nope! Maybe they thought it might be black tie. :)
I think I once read that it's not proper etiquette to specify attire in the invitation - I would put "cocktail attire" as well. One of our friends requested "formal attire" on his website and I had to look up what that meant (suits/ties and/or tuxes for men, floor-length gowns or a cocktail-length gown in black, gray or brown for women). I think "cocktail attire" is more self-explanatory. Good luck!

We're getting some questions on what the attire is for our wedding, with suggestions that it should have been on the invitations! I thought that was an etiquette no-no, so I didn't even think of putting it there.. oops!
So we're going to add an attire note to the website, but I need some help figuring out what we are going to say! We'd like men to be in suits/ties and ladies in dresses (although not necessarily long ones, since the bridesmaids are in tea length ones), but I'm not sure of the proper phrasing. Any ideas?
