Should I list a dresscode on the invitation?

Hi there!

I've had a bride tell me that a guest turned up in a t-shirt to their ballroom wedding, so it doesn't hurt to put a dresscode on there!

Listing a dresscode isn't compulsory, however if you want to help your guests out then you can add it to the invitation. You don't need to make a big deal about the dresscode. Just a simple line at the bottom of the invitation such as "Cocktail Attire" etc will do. 

If your guests have been to a lot of weddings before, they will have a good idea of what to wear based on the time that the wedding is being held, the venue that the wedding is taking place at, and also the style of your invitation. However a lot of your guests might not have been to a wedding before. It can help them out and your photos will look more consistent :)

If you have any more questions, don't hesitate to ask!

This is entirely up to you, but in general if you wish your guests to be in a specific style and are worried that usually they turn up more casually than appropriate then I would definetly have that dress code in place, that way there is no mistake on their part on how to dress. Marie BW Reporter.

Hey!!

If you are having a particular dresscode, yes do mention it so that none of your guests feels out of place. A simple line at the bottom of the invite is fair like " Formal Attire' or Cocktail Attire or so on. Your wedding invite will convey the theme of the wedding so guests will get a clue from there but there is no harm giving them a little more information.

Hope this helps.
