specifying a category of wedding attire?

Is anyone having a 'black tie optional' or 'formal attire' wedding? I'm curious about what people's thoughts are on this. I feel weird putting something like that on the invites, but my parents are sort of old-school in that regard. Is anyone out there dealing with this too?

Thanks!

I don't really plan on putting anything on the invite indicating dress but since it's at night I think people will dress appropriately. At least most of them.

BUT I wanted to share a funny story about this... I have relatives who are SUPER religious and live down south, we got an invitation to one of their weddings and the dress code card was RIDICULOUS. For women it said no skirts above the knee, sleeves are necessary (in FLORIDA), at least to the elbow, high neck, covered back, all this craziness. My mother was fuming, and sent the dress code card back with her 'no' response. So I think they got the hint, the next two weddings from that family had nothing like that included in the invite.

OMG that is ridiculous!!!!
