noooo pink

“The bride requires no one wear pink”. It would go on the wedding website or an extra details card in the invitation. It doesn’t really matter how you ask- it’s a weird request and likely won’t be followed by everyone. Will you be removing guests if they do wear pink?

You could phrase it as, "We kindly request that guests avoid wearing the color pink."

Sarah: I like the directness. Definitely my style. I feel everyone in attendance know if I make a request its for a reason and would probably follow it. Thank you for the advice.

You can also post that on your wedding website under FAQs section regarding dress code/attire

Sarahk: I need to get on that! Thank you!

I think it needs to be somewhere other than just the website, because so many brides say that no one looked at their website.

Just curious… is the reason you don’t want people to wear pink that you are wearing a pink wedding dress?? Or do you just not like the color pink? Or is there another reason?

What’s wrong with pink? It’s a lil weird to dictate what colors the guests can wear. It’s not like they’re in your wedding party or n planning to wear a costume. 🤷‍♀️

I'm confused as to why. Generally we say you can't tell adults what to wear to your event They are your guests. The only exception I can think of is for people to avoid white, and that doesn't need to be said.

I agree that I never look at anyone's website so if it wasn't on the invite or RSVP, I would never know.

There are plenty of places to put please avoid pink, but unless you are going to turn them away from the door, I wouldn't tell guests what to wear. I don't think pink is a color I see a lot of wedding guests in just thinking back.

I think we will be doing a website and invites so thank you all for suggesting to put it on both. It is a personal choice and I am sure our guests will respectfully not wear it! I see more and more pink and golds in reference to weddings so I want to make sure it is avoided. I appreciate THOSE who read my request correctly and responded so. Blessed be!

I asked for a child free wedding and I sent it on my invite as well as listed it on our website.

Are you having a Hindu wedding? It's very common in Hindu culture for the bride to wear hot pink. I've attended Hindu weddings where they explained this cultural practice on the website and thus requested that guests avoid wearing this color. Obviously, guests were understanding and avoided wearing pink. You could create a blurb on your wedding website explaining why you are requesting that guests refrain from wearing pink. You might not get the response you're hoping for if it's just for aesthetic reasons though.

It's an etiquette no-no to address attire on an invitation, unless the event is black tie or there are restrictions at the venue.

It's also not OK to state on an invitation who is not invited. IE it shouldn't be on the invitation that kids aren't invited.

Reading some of these comments and what I can say is every wedding has an dress code attire and you can incorporate it into that part of your website or invites. I do like the directness of "The bride requests no pink". It is YOUR day and if you do not want guests to wear pink then you have that right. Now, I would be understanding if someone accidentally wore some pink instead of asking them to leave.

View Quoted Comment I agree. This is very polite and easy enough to follow.
