    We are going with a more relaxed vibe. FH is wearing jeans with a vest and jacket. Our male guest will most likely show up in a dress shirt, jeans and boots.

    But you said in another thread that you're having a dj.
    Obviously nothing wrong with that. I had a formal (not black tie) wedding with a DJ. But if we're talking about level of hosting having a DJ and not a band is not black tie hosting.

    Formal, because this may sound funny but we didn't attend our senior proms so our wedding is basically making up for that

    I live in New York City, you want to find me a band that can actually play music that both me and FH listen to for under 2K (that's literally all I'm paying for my DJ with an MC and photobooth included) ? Be my guest. He likes hip hop, I like pop and alternative.

    We're going cocktail attire! It will be late May in Florida so it will be warm - we want people to be a little more comfortable!

    Relaxed cocktail attire. It’s a midday summer wedding, nothing too stuffy or too hindering for dancing if it’s warm.

    Semi-formal - dresses and nice slacks preferred, but really people can wear whatever they'd like

    Black tie for sure! I hate when people don’t dress up for weddings. This is the biggest day of my life and I want everyone to look as fancy as I will be.
