Cocktail attire. Suits are preferred for men, always.

Cocktail attire but business casual acceptable. Our wedding is during the week and starts at 6pm, so we know quite a few guests will be coming straight from work.

Definitely more relaxed for guests, especially if we stick with the plan of getting married at a group campground.

Semi-formal so a little less casual than cocktail. I wanted a cocktail style wedding, but FH said he doesn’t think some of his guests owns a suit so we made it semi-formal so people could wear a nice button down and dress pants if they needed to. I’ll be more focused on us than if people are wearing suits anyways!

Since it's a Friday afternoon wedding this is what I tell people and I put for my attire section on the website.

Dress Casual is preferred. However, we care more that you are able to come and help us celebrate this special day than what you are wearing.
