Wedding Guest Dress Code Color Instructions

[Anonymous]

Thoughts on wedding invitation giving instructions on what colors guests can and can't wear to the wedding?

Seems a bit rude. If it's something like "don't wear white", well yeah I knew that already. If it's like "women please wear yellow, men wear aquamarine ties", that's super irritating because you're demanding I go out and buy a specific outfit for your wedding and it's controlling.

I'm so tired of everything needing to look like a magazine photo shoot. Coordinate the wedding party and parents and state the level of formality. Anything beyond that is just ridiculous.

Brides, don’t do this, it’s stupid.

That's silly and annoying, and it presumes that your guests all can afford the expense of buying a new outfit if they don't have one that fits your criteria.

I am not a fan of this, and do indeed think it's rude to dictate what colors guests wear to your wedding.

However you can also choose to not attend the wedding. So you do have some choice here.

Indeed. I wouldn’t want to go to a wedding where I was instructed to wear a particular color. I’m a guest not an instagram prop.

It’s fine, but if I don’t already have a dress in one of your preferred colors, consider me purchasing one as my wedding gift to you.

Absolutely not.

I would ignore. What are they going to do, kick you out?

So obnoxious.

You don't tell other people what to wear. It's rude.

There are subreddits about weddings and this gets covered on both sides. Brides will send color stories & look books with the invitation or post RSVP. (Bride, " Is it generous enough if I allow these six different shades of blue for wedding guests?"). Guests all pretty much dislike it. (Guest, "What is the difference between evening lit periwinkle and early morning periwinkle? Ugh.")


. Post wedding, brides go to other subreddits requesting some of their wedding photographs be photoshopped. Asking that the offending guests be cut out or their clothing colors changed.
