I’m beyond over spending thousands to just get to these destination weddings in super expensive locations, take time from work, make sure to give a gift that still covers our plates because paying thousands to be there isn’t enough, etc. Enough is enough.

This is one of the rudest requests I've ever heard. How many people own taupe or gray dresses other than workwear??? I would wear anything I wanted with a trench coat over it and park myself at the bar.

As an Indian American I can't imagine this is real. This is not the crowds look people want at weddings and Indian people care way too much what their guests think - they would not want all those extended family relatives and old people snickering.

We were surprised at this request as most of our traditional clothes are colorful.

Yeah, I am going to wear some ill fitting shmatta in a color that makes me look sick. Just say no.

The guest outfits are the most beautiful part of an Indian wedding. I can't imagine asking everyone to only wear taupe and gray.

My son and DIL bought gorgeous attire for an Indian wedding, and it wasn't inexpensive. If they ever attend another, I'm sure they would want to wear these outfits a second time. But now they have to spend hundreds more again for a specific color?

I would believe this OP more if it were a request for everyone to wear pink or turquoise.

This would depend on how well I know the couple. If close, yes I'd try to conform. If not, I'd decline to go if I had nothing to wear in the right color.

That said, no one I know would request this.

I might wear a sparkly silver -- I mean, gray -- sequin-covered dress.

You can be my bar buddy 😆

See you there! I'll be the one with the metallic taupe go-go boots.

😆. FAFO, right?

Wow taupe and gray is so specific. How rude. You could be oppositional and wear camel, warm beige, yellow, soft black or light pink.

All the young ones are doing this now. Everything for the photos.

Lmao, what a little b! Funny enough, this is one of the only requests I wouldn't mind. I like drab. I'm boring. I don't want to be commanded to dress up as Big Bird or something.
