Is it appropriate to recommend attire for weddings on the invitation?
April 6th, 2010 | by admin |unsure in hawaii asked:
Some people in Hawaii really don’t know how to dress for weddings. We would like to recommend to our guests to dress in semi-formal or Filipino formal attire (barong for males, Filipina dress for women). We didn’t want the men to have to come in suits so a dress shirt and tie would be OK. We also want them to come in slacks rather than khakis.

Proper attire is often addressed in a wedding invitation. Since you have so many stipulations, you mite want to include a short note requesting the above.

It’s perfectly appropriate, indeed it’’s a kindness, to give people some idea what kind of thing to wear - nothing’s more embarrassing than turning up in jeans when everyone else is in black tie, and vice versa. But be clear (e.g. “semi-formal” means different things to different people) and give them options. It would be unreasonable to insist on just one form of dress which would mean that all your guests who didn’t own a tuxedo/a sarong/white tie/whatever would have to buy or hire it.
