No, as someone who's never been to Texas, I'd really appreciate a guideline.
I completely agree with the previous posters. It would be helpful to know how to pack when going to a region that one might not be familiar with! So as a guest, I would find your tips very helpful!
Thanks everyone! I just wanted to double check, I didn't know if it would be rude to tell them what type of clothing to wear to the wedding...
I'm totally stealing this idea. My relatives are from midwest and california, so not quite england, but a few have mentioned needing long sleeves for my outdoor wedding. I should probably prepare them for... well the fact that april can really go either way here in Austin :-)
I'm doing the same thing for our wedding. We are semi-arid and at a high altitude, and my family is in the midwest and fiance's family is from the east coast. We're warning them about the weather, the dryness, and the fact that you never quite feel like you have enough air here.
@o0olibelulao0o: I'd love a guideline. What a great idea.
no, it's not rude at all. That would be great to know if I was traveling to a place I've never been to.
Definitely not rude. I have a particular relative who wore a bright blue polyester shirt that was two sizes too small and sneakers to his own mother's funeral. Sometimes people need guidelines haha.
why would that be rude? If I was going across country for a wedding I'd love to know what to pack and how the weather would be. I think it's great!
I'd find that incredible helpful! I think I'm going to steal this for my wedding too :)
Love it! Not even a little bit rude. I might steal some of your language too.
I think because you're telling guests they can dress more casually than would normally be expected at a wedding, it's perfectly fine. I think it gets a bit questionable if it went the other way and you told guests they had to dress to a certain standard, but what you've done is perfectly fine in my opinion.
I think this is a great resource--many people wont be able to believe how warm it is!
@Ree723: Agreed--I wouldn't want to tell them to dress up, but if you're telling them it's more casual, that seems fine. Of course I may be biased as we have very similar language on our wedding website! We told people the dress code was aloha/resort wear, that the reception was outside, and that they might want sweaters or jackets just in case.
Great idea!! I love it, I'd totally steal it if I had out of town guests! I'm from NY and have never been to TX, so I'd be clueless, and since I wear heels to all weddings I'd be grateful to know ahead of time about grass...the last wedding I went to was steep hills and grass and wooden docks and it was a breathtaking wedding but my stupid shoes killed me!!
I think it's totally fine the way you have it written. It sounds like your wedding attire is more casual so I think that is actually important that you tell people since I would immediately pack a suit for DH if we were attending a wedding.
I would SO appreciate that if I had never been there (which I haven't) Good idea and so thoughtful of you!
Usually I'd say no as adults know how to dress themselves without help. In this case I think it would make sense and be appreciated too.
i think it is very polite! especially since you are telling people they don't have to get too fancy! if you were telling them they had to wear suits/ tuxes, it might be harder to word. but it sounds great and i think your guests would apprecaite it!
@o0olibelulao0o: i think this is great!
i was looking up someone's wedding page the other day and she put a side note for ladies that heels may sink into the ground (it's an outdoor wedding in a field of grass). i appreciated knowing!
Not rude at all, and if I were a guest, I'd appreciate that. There's no question about what to wear, and no one will be sweltering/freezing based on their perceptions of the weather!
Not rude at all, I think that's a great idea and many will appreciate it!
Definitely not rude, and you've worded it really well. If I was a guest, I know I would appreciate the heads up.
If I were a guest at your wedding I would definetely appreciate a page like that.
Awesome!! thanks everyone!! Now I just have to hope people actually check out our webpage! lol

We are having a large number (basically all of my guests, so about half the guest list) fly in from New England, some of which have never been to Texas.
Is it rude to have a page on our wedding website that gives guests an idea of what to pack for the weather in April and then a little note about what is acceptable to wear at the wedding?
I've made a page but haven't made it public yet, I wanted to get ya'lls input first...
Here is what it says:
"What to pack for April in Texas"
The weather is usually pretty warm in Texas this time of year, usually high 60's and 70's in the middle of April. So pack light and comfortable clothes. But isn't unheard of to have a colder day so feel free to pack a sweater and long pants just in case.
Don't worry about what to wear to the wedding. Sun dresses, khakis or dockers shorts and polo shirts are all acceptable, no suit or tie required! Just remember that the wedding will be outdoors and on grass so wear comfortable footwear.
