What about your dress code? Are you going for a very formal vibe, or a little more relaxed?

    Definitely relaxed. We want our wedding to be comfortable and fun. It will be nice and well put together, but we aren't going to pretend we are super formal people either.

    Cocktail attire. I want it to be nice, but not stuffy.

    Cocktail attire for our guests. Wedding party will be a little bit more fancy though.

    Cocktail attire. I want everyone to let loose on the dance floor and not feel stifled by their clothes lol.

    Cocktail attire for our guests. I hope. Some of my FH's family thinks that means old tshirts and shorts. So we will see how that goes.

    Relaxed. Men will most likely be in jeans and a dress shirt.

    I would say mine is cocktail. I wanted a more casual vibe. I hope people can come dressed relatively nicely though

    In the middle? Wedding party will be in black tie, but our guests will be on the nicer side of cocktail attire.

    Relaxed cocktail; the guys are in grey slacks, white button ups with the sleeves rolled up and suspenders with a tie. FH will possibly be wearing a vest but no jackets for anyone
