Be the Best-Dressed Guest: How to Know What to Wear
If the invitation doesn’t specify the style or dress code, don’t stress. Nobody wants to feel overdressed or underdressed, so here are a few clues to help you decide what to wear.
Time of the reception. Evening weddings are typically a bit more glam than daytime celebrations. Don’t hesitate to step it up a notch. Most formal weddings start in the evening. If it’s a daytime wedding, feel comfortable selecting a flowy Spring floral dress that you can wear again and again.
Style of invitation. Wedding invitations can give you lots of clues about the style of the wedding. Look at the design, colors, and fonts. It’s your first look at the theme of the wedding.
If there is a wedding website, you can also get ideas for what to wear by the site’s style. Is it glamorous and luxurious? Or a bit more simple and casual?
Tip: Check to see if there is a FAQ section for ideas on what type of wedding to expect.
Look up the venue. Whether it’s a countryside wedding or a coastal beach theme, the location should give you some style inspiration for what to wear. Look for pictures of the venue, and skip the stilettos if there is a cobblestone courtyard. Check to see if the venue features a dance floor outside or inside, so you can come prepared with a jacket or shawl.
Check the weather before the big day. Even in the warmer months, the ocean breeze can get a bit chilly on the coast in the evenings.
Ask the bride or groom. If you’re still not sure what type of wedding attire to wear and want to play it safe, call your friend or family member to get the details. If it’s the week of the big event, you may want to check in with the maid of honor, bridesmaid, or best man for tips on what to wear.
Conclusion
Be the best-dressed guest at the party with these affordable wedding guest dresses and get ready to dance the night away in these show-stopper looks. Whatever you do, make sure you feel comfortable, and you’re wearing your favorite dancing shoes. There is nothing worse than wearing cute heels that pinch your feet. No, thank you!
