I said black tie invited. If your going for a less formal wedding, the other one would do, but if you want everyone dressed to the nines then that's the one I'd go for.
Hmm...I want it to be formal (theoretically I wish everyone could wear a tux but that is impractical costwise) but I just don't want people to feel pressured to wear a tux if they don't want to since a lot of my guests are coming from out of town and so they're already spending a lot on travel, hotel etc. I want to make it clear that if you have one or want to wear one then feel free, but otherwise it's okay not to.
I would go with black tie optional. I think it sounds a little better than black tie invited. Guests might get confused as to whether they have to wear a tux or not. I think with black tie optional it is very clear.
Just think if your FI is confused, many of your guests will be. Not everyone lives and breathes wedding like we do hehe
Roxy...I think you are very right about this. I hate when people do the wording where it's so confusing, you're like wait what am I supposed to wear? E.g., WTF is evening chic? Hehe. I certainly don't want my guests to be confused.
I think the wedding crazies are getting to me. Thank you!

Which dress code is better for an invitation? My fiance is revolting against "black tie invited" as being confusing and insisting on "optional," whereas I think "invited" sounds kinder and will gently encourage more black tie without sounding pushy! Thoughts?
