[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is becoming a big thing to have dress codes at weddings. There are wedding subreddits on Reddit and it is very common now. [/quote]

Can confirm.  I have a few wedding subreddits in my feed (likely because i've googled something like "why are weddings so dumb today" then gotten sucked into reddit responses).  And there are so many discussions about wedding guest colors. There may even be a subreddit dedicated to wedding dress codes.

Also, lots of subreddits on destination weddings.

These poor women are in such an echo chamber (it is the internet after all) where they really are just hearing all positive feedback from other brides equally in the thick of things. So no one is telling them reality.  You've got a thousand starry eyes 26 year old idiot young ladies who are each telling other that these weddings ideas are amazing.  Someone will post something like "I was going to have a "Peacocks in Winter in Sicily" dress theme, but my sister in law told me that everyone is too confused and no one likes the idea. Have any of you heard anything about people not liking this kind of dress code? Do you think i should reconsider??" and then like 100 responses "no way! That's an amazing dress code! I am doing "Black tie business casual pink and blue blast" theme, and all my guests have told me they're so excited to buy clothes on point for our destination wedding on a wednesday in Christchurch NZ!" or "i did the same theme, and everyone loved it! I didn't hear any negative feedback!"

People post their dress code wording for feedback, and no sh*t the descriptions are often a paragraph long.

I saw a recent one that was something about dressy casual beach something or other, and it went on to say "What does this look like? Well, for the ladies it means XYZ, and for the men it means a tan suit".  That one must have tagged outside the algorithm because a bunch of non-wedding people responded that if a dude had to buy a new suit, in an unflattering color to boot, they'd decline.
