no it's your wedding if you wanted black tie you can put that on the invite do whatever you want to do
no not at all!! You don't want them to show up in jeans or capris! I would do the same thing if I was in your place Jen!
I don't think so. You don't want people to feel embarassed either when they show up in inappropriate attire so you're really helping them

Why do you feel that people seem to think it is casual? I just want to make sure you aren't jumping to a conclusion, you are right & most people do know they have to dress up to a wedding, that's why I am a bit puzzled![]()
i dont think its wrong to say that at all.
usually it is assumed a wedding is semi formal if nothing is mentioned about the attire. if it is casual- or black tie- it will be indicated on the invite- I thought that was common knowledge. LOL.
I thought so too....guess not...LOL
It's your wedding!! I don't want people dressing casual to my wedding either and I am afraid people will because of the whole beach theme I have going on.
Jen, I have 'Evening Attire Requested' on mine. Not wrong at all! It's your wedding, and if you want a certain look, say so. No worries!

I'm puzzled too because close relatives have said to me 'what should I wear?'....my reply is 'wear what you would wear to a wedding'...and they come back with....'well it's in a tent though'. It makes me CRAZY! it's not as if we are doing paper plates and soda with hotdogs! Come on people....it's still a WEDDING! I just don't get it...![]()

I dont think so...that is why we specified 'formal reception immediately following' on our invites

omg omg! now that you've elaborated i hands down agree they are being ridiculous, very formal events can take place in a tented venue & seeing as how this is hard for them to grasp, maybe you should put a small wording on formal attireppl!

How should I word it? Semi-attire requested? required?I have no idea....
I would never assume a wedding was casual, unless it was in the yard.
