Wedding Guest Dress Code Color Instructions

[Anonymous]

My sister just got married, and there was nothing about clothing in the invite, but a lot of people asked her what to wear any way because she had a unique site (cliff overlook requiring a very short hike). She said she’d love people to wear colors from her invite but if not anything is fine. And the invite had at least 4 different colors in multiple shades. I thought that was a inoffensive approach.

I agree.
Unless the wedding party will be providing the funds for a new outfit for each guest than this is just rude!
Though I can see asking close family members to do this.

I’m sure it was lovely, but this whole wedding thing has gone too far if we are asking guests to hike to a cliff in a suggested color. I feeling nostalgic for a church basement affair.

They seem to care more about photos than about the concept of marriage.

But I mean how often do you look at your wedding photos and, when you do, what is the thing you focus on.

Like, sure we have this one nice photo from my wedding that's framed and referenced often but specifically because my FIL died unexpectedly the next year and it's one of the last really nice photos of him dancing with his kids.

I haven't finished the album 30 years on. We have one wedding photo hanging on the wall.

+1, one 8x10 framed on an end table.

Np here, at 47, I am so glad to be out of the age group that is getting married. The constant weddings from mid-20s to early 30s were annoying. All these years later, and all the wedding fuss, only one couple is still married. The crazy part is that the biggest, most extravagant wedding was the one that ended the fastest. That couple was divorced-- ink dry on paper-- by month six.
