Do you think this is rude? Is anyone doing this?

My co-worker got an invite to her friend's wedding in June. On a separate card included with the invite, the bride has requested that no female guests can attend wearing black because the bridal party is wearing black. I mean c'mon...everyone wears the little black dress to a wedding. Now she is asking all her female guests to go out and buy a new dress on top of all the other money they are spending?

Am I crazy for thinking this is totally rude?

That's totally rude!! Brides that pick black for their BMs should know going into it that most people wear black cocktail dresses to weddings...In fact, I usually wear a black dress to weddings because it's generally a 'safe' color (as in, it's pretty unusual that the BMs will wear black, so I don't have to worry that I'll freakishly match the BMs).

It's like me requesting that none of the male guests wear a black suit b/c FH is wearing one...Sheesh...

I think its VERY rude... not everyone is rich and alot of people have the black dress for the weddings they go to...

furthermore, the guests won't look like the BMs...
I am not asking my guests not to wear lavendar...
