Hey all...

Currently playing around with invitations and working on the Details card. My wedding is an evening wedding in January in Kansas City and although it will be glamorous I am apprehensive to put "Black Tie Optional" on my invite as I fear that it will confuse attendees to think its "Formal"! (You all know how confusing wedding dress codes are!!) However, I feel like "Cocktail" and "Semi Formal" isn't fancy enough, but its easily digestible for the unsauvy!!

Any suggestions on how to describe a balance between Black Tie Optional and Cocktail/Semi Formal? So far I have only come up with "Evening Cocktail Attire".

HAAAALLLP!!

    There shouldn't be any mention of dress code on the invitations, with the exception of black tie.

    A good way to handle this is to link to your wedding webpage, and then outline the dress suggestions there.
