Telling guests what to wear

Did anyone see this thread on the 06 board? I can't even believe the balls on some people.

actually I may have posted in that thread, my fsil told us that she didn't want women wearing black to her wedding. The BP did not wear black she just thought it was bad luck or something like that.

Re: Telling guests what to wear

It's one thing to spread this via word of mouth and request that people don't wear black. I just can't believe that it was put into a formal invitation.

Wow! Definitely a ballsy move...I wouldn't be surprised if guests didn't show because of it.

Re: Telling guests what to wear

That is soo wrong to do that!! How can u ask someone not to wear black!? Are they going to pay for a new dress too.. cause that's about the only color dresses in my closet (wedding like) I don't know about other people.

Re: Telling guests what to wear

thats crazy! the only thing i was thinking about saying was to dress formally becauuse people go to weddings casual now. not what color they can or can't wear. even that im not sure about cause I feel like its mean! what do you think?

I don't know. I went to my friend's wedding November in San Antonio and there were girls wearing denim jackets and stuff like that. Granted it was a morning/early afternoon wedding but I think that's crazy so maybe specifying black tie would get people to realize what should not be worn?

Re: Telling guests what to wear

I think its kind of rude, especially to included it in the invitation like that...

A lot of people just have the little black dresses and it is asking someone to go out and buy a new dress... Everyone invited to my wedding is not rich!

Re: Telling guests what to wear

and also, what is the big deal about wearing the same color as the BP?

They aren't going to LOOK like the bridal party...

I am not going to tell people not to wear lavendar!!!

Re: Telling guests what to wear

holy crap! I can't even get over that. That is so rediculous!!! I would never and if you really don't want guests wearing the same color then definitley don't pick black!!!
