[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I take offense because I believe that one dress code applies to both men and women.  That already in the dress code there is a standard for men and a standard for women, correct?  Why would you have a different dress code for them?  I wear business casual every day to work.  I don't mind a different dress code (Summer Cocktail) for the wedding, but I think it should apply to the male guests as well. I take offense because I take it to be based on the assumption that males work and make money and the women lounge and look beautiful for them.  As a woman (and an Aunt) I find that offensive. Am I wrong?

So if it says black tie, which is quite standard on formal invites, it is giving guidance only to the men since women are presumably not wearing tuxes.  Attire for black tie events for women does tend to vary - from fancy cocktail to ball gowns, and I would rather have them specify which it is on the invite.  Same goes for casual, where there is a greater range of choices.  I think business casual is a bad choice of words since it's not a business event, but at least it describes the appropriate attire for the men.

If you don't want to "lounge and look beautiful" then don't.  Not sure what being an aunt has to do with it.  Are aunts required to be frumpy?

I hope your children are excited to be participating in the wedding.  It is nice of your family to include them.  Maybe you can send them with your parents or another family member and keep your bitterness out of the events.[/quote]
