I'm with you on the jeans! I told my FI if any of my family shows up in Jeans I'm sending them home! LOL I'm only 1/2 kidding! I don't know the nicest way to word it on the invitation and some might say it's not good to put it directly on your invitation so do you have a website? That's where we're putting ours. I didn't even want to make a website but figured it's worth it. :P
Lol. I told my man the same thing. Isn't that what the MOH and BM's are for? To kick people out if they don't come dressed correctly? Maybe you're right Grumpybear. I won't out anything on the invite and do a word of mouth type thing. :)
I was afraid of the same thing. I just ended up talking to many of my guests and asking them to spread the word. Also the formality of your invitation should give them an idea of how to dress.
I once went to a t-shirt and jeans wedding in a cute black dress. It was the WORST 4 hours of my life!!
You can put 'Black Tie Optional' , and most recently we received one stating at the bottom of the invitation 'Elegant Attire Requested'.
Or, "black tie invited / welcome" -- you could sub out black tie for semiformal or cocktail attire as well.
Awesome! I heart weddingbee SO much. I don't know what I'd do without all of you wonderfully helpful women!
I think "Cocktail Attire Requested" is the best wording for that- everyone's concept of "semiformal" will differ, though I doubt anyone would show up in jeans like that!
We're doing "Eclectic Formal" in the hopes that people will show up for our Halloween wedding in Modern, Victorian, Steampunk, Southern Gentleman, Punk formal attire!
@ Arineya we thought about getting married on Halloween and doing a masquerade theme. But my family would have dresses and his wouldn't have so we decided against it. Your's sounds like it's going to be a blast!
Well, we know that my friends and family will play along and his Mom's side and have a FAB time, but his Dad's side will probably be annoyed with the whole thing and not play along- oh well, they'll be the ones standing out
My sister called to ask if she could wear a white dress and I said heck yes, hah because I won't be wearing one anyway! And I think a masquerade theme sounds amazing!

I've been searching for posts about this but haven't had any luck. I wan't to put "Semi-formal attire please" (or something similar) on our invites but am not sure how exactly to word it. Because I swear, if people show up in jeans and tweety bird shirts I'm going to loose it! lol. Thanks!
