How do you write a dress code on a wedding invitation?

The right wording of your wedding invitations can certainly be a tricky affair for most people. The very formalness of the event has most couples worrying about whether they are doing everything right. If you are thinking the same and need help with your wedding invitations, you have come to the right place. Mentioning the dress code on a wedding invitation is one of the most crucial aspects.

This article talks about how to go about it.

Need for a Dress Code

It’s your wedding. With the correct wedding invite dress code wording, you can ensure guests wear something that goes with the ethos of your wedding. For example, you may have made the choice to have a classic and formal wedding. Requesting your guests to wear formal attire is the right thing to do.

Or you may have decided on a destination wedding at the beach. For that, you need to have an informal dress code or even beachwear. Telling your guests what you expect them to wear also helps them decide what to wear to your wedding. The aesthetics certainly matter.

Dress Code Wording for Wedding Invitations

Now let’s talk about wedding invite dress code wording examples.

1. Black Tie

For a formal wedding held in the evening, this is the most common choice. Men are expected to wear a tuxedo and women are expected to wear a long gown, a nice pantsuit, or even a cocktail dress. The shoes should be formal as well.

2. White Tie

This is a more formal version of a Black Tie event. This means full evening dresses and is usually for highly formal parties such as those that involve celebrities or royalty. The men are expected to wear black coattails and women should be in floor-length gowns and gloves.

3. Indian Wedding Attire

For Indian wedding dress code wording, you should mention just that ‘’Indian attire’’ o your invite.

4. Cocktail

This is for evening events where the couple wants guests to be comfortable yet look nice.

5. Casual

If you are planning a visually casual wedding, then choose this attire. Guests will wear good casual clothes they usually wear to work or to church.

Now that you know wedding invitation dress code wording, it is time to get those invites started. Choose someone like Pietra Paper Design to help you come up with beautiful wedding invites that will wow your guests.
