[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][twitter][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Elegant hats are frequently worn to British weddings with very elegant, formal suits and dresses. She's probably seen those.

At 5pm, it isn't a formal wedding, so a hat would be fine with the semi-formal suit or dress.[/quote]

[b]Why does the time matter for whether a hat is appropriate ?[/b]

Have to say, this is a delightful thread. Of all the things to worry about. [/quote]

Do you really not know?

6:00 pm is the cut-off time for hats, unless they are cocktail hats.

I thought everyone knew that.

SOOO, OP, your MIL is correct.[/quote]

I can't tell if this person is being sarcastic, or if this is actually a thing.  I would think hats are historically worn becuase people used to wear them all the time in church, but in some cultures women continue to wear them to church.  Or because it's an outdoor wedding and sunny.  
Historically, evening weddings weren't as much a thing.   Morning weddings with luncheons to follow were more traditional for various religious and cultural reasons.  [/quote]

PP here. You're not from the South, are you?

It's absolutely a thing.

Hats are for daytime attire, defined as an event before cocktail hour, which is 6:00.[/quote]

Well, no wonder the south has been a backwater for so long if it’s been worried about such nonsense for generations.

There’s etiquette and then there’s etiquette and then there’s are stupid rules that someone made up just to be a twit.

Maybe MIL has thinning hair and it’s embarrassed by her bald spots, or she sensitive to the sun, or maybe she really does want to be the center of attention — I just don’t see any upside to die on this hill.

In the era of digital photography, you will likely have 1000 wedding photos, the ones where your MIL is wearing a hat that makes you go blind the rage, don’t look at those. No one else in the world will be looking at your wedding photos, even our kids don’t care about our wedding photos[/quote]

This exchange is so odd to me. You are both in agreement. Let her wear the hat. But the South insulter seems to just want to be antagonistic even in agreement. No wonder we are so divided as a country.[/quote]
