| Not just her wedding party, every single person there. This is strange, yes? She says this is a concession to her fiance, since his favorite color is blue but everything in their wedding will be pink. I'm guessing that her fiance actually does not give a crap, since he is, you know, a man. I really don't want to buy a navy blue formal-ish outfit for this. For whatever reason, I don't have anything navy in my wardrobe other than an older sweater. I kept my eye out on a trip to the mall before Christmas and I didn't see anything nice in that color. I'm thinking that's as much as I am going to do, if I happen to find something nice before the party in blue, fine, if not, I'll wear something really nice and non-blue that I already have. |

| Yes, but is my decision reasonable Miss smarty pants?? |

No. It's just a request for a fairly common color. Surely you can comply without too much trouble. |

| This sort of sense of entitlement needs to be nipped in the bud. Just ignore her request. |

Yes, please ignore. And when you get the wedding invitation telling you what gift to get them (donate to our honeymoon fund, give us cash, etc) ignore that as well.
These obnoxious demands have to stop. |

Agree. It's ridiculous to demand guests wear a certain color to a party where they are already expected to give a gift. Honestly, if it were me, I would a) ignore request and wear want I want, bearing a gift b) buy a nice new navy blue outfit, and bring a card with the receipt for the new outfit, including a note explaining that since I had to buy something new and navy blue, that was my engagement gift to the couple c) just decline the invitation entirely. |

Maybe she is going to have a professional photographer there to take pictures and you would stick out like a sore thumb in your hot PINK dress?
Go to Ross or Marshall's. You can often luck out and find something appropriate to wear - at least navy blue is a color that you're likely to wear again. |

No, she is not. I know this because my parents are the ones hosting the party for her (long story). This is one of many requests/changes she has made, but it's the one that sort of pushes my buttons the most. |

That would be even more motivation for me to wear a hot pink dress!

Surely you can go to Target and find a navy shirt. It is not that difficult. You just want to be difficult. |

| I have a navy blue dress so it wouldn't be a big deal but if I didn't and was planning on buying a dress to wear, I would attempt to look for something navy but wouldn't sweat it if I couldn't find anything. You did not agree to be in the wedding party so therefore should not be expected to do what you're told. |
