Requirement at the wedding ( guest must wear white)

View Quoted Comment So you have a white dress? Butttt it doesn’t look good on you? Why’d you buy/have it in the first place? Correct me if I’m wrong, it just confuses me a tad.

OP I don’t see anything wrong with you asking guests to wear all white. It is not mandatory that they come to your event, it’s also not mandatory that they buy a new outfit. If they do buy a new outfit, don’t buy one that can only be worn once?! Like I have never gone shopping for something that I couldn’t wear again except for prom and now my wedding dress and I wish I could wear both of those dresses again. Even with bridesmaid dresses I have had to buy in a certain color, I always get a style that I would wear again, probably to another wedding as a guest. People are being ridiculous in these comments. There really is no difference between a white party and a white dress code at a wedding. The dress code is mandatory at both, people do get turned away if they show up to a white party in anything other than white. And truly if you want to be at your friends wedding and support them you’ll suck it up and throw on something white it won’t kill you.

View Quoted Comment Yes I’m here for it , the biggest solution to it all is just not come at all .... why make it a big fuss you hit everything .. I bet they will feel like they did nothing wrong showing up knowing it was a request but yet you want to argue at the door 🤣😂🤣

While it's not something I would "require " I wouldn't be upset if I received an invitation that required a dress code. I've had a dress code at multiple jobs and had to go out and purchase clothes as well as school's I've been to. I've gone to Halloween parties, they have dress codes, I'm always looking for a new excuse to buy cute stuff lol
My dress code for my wedding is "romantic country chic. " I'm encouraging people to wear cowboy boots, but of course not requiring it. But that's me.
I don't think it's rude at all, personally. It's your wedding and your choice. 🤷‍♀️

View Quoted Comment I agree with Tiffany it’s nothing wrong with it!

True but our wedding is in August and you can always find white.

View Quoted Comment Just don’t take their picture haha and enjoy your wedding. I promise you won’t remember if cousin xyz shows up in blue

View Quoted Comment Not everyone looks good in white.

Personally, I've never been to an event like this.... I'd go along because I think it would be fun.
I would have to buy a new dress, I don't wear alot of white...but. I'd be game.

Although, I could see how some might get their knickers in a bunch over it.
It wouldn't bother me

View Quoted Comment You got me over here giggling my FH asking me what I'm laughing at ... hehehe

View Quoted Comment Yes and it will be fun .. that lighting shining and them pictures being taken from angles ... i could picture it already

View Quoted Comment Jessica, exactly and right they have went to events or even worn some sort of theme at work but afraid to admit it .. they won’t do it for their friend but would do it for other events.. but it’s their opinion and I’m sticking to my request. Your wedding sound nice I love the theme.

I think it's a know your crowd type of thing. I had my husband's side of the family asking what colors they needed to wear. They like to wear some of the wedding colors to show support for the two getting married. A majority of his side of the families guest do this at weddings. I just told them the colors and told them to wear what they wanted. I've seen people have all white weddings and guest wore white. I've seen white and blue and black and white. So I don't look at is as rude. I think it's a know your crowd thing.

View Quoted Comment That is unfortunate and you can politely decline if you don’t want to wear white for a few hours for a friends event. No biggy. I’m sure you’d be missed, but the party will go on🤷🏾‍♀️

It it all comes down to the friendship and how much you value it. Like in all relationships sometimes there are sacrifices made in a friendship. If my friend had a vision to take a big group picture at her wedding and wanted everyone in yellow (I absolutely hate yellow) to match, I would suck it up and wear yellow because I know they’d do the same for me. It’s not even that deep though, but I took it there💁🏾‍♀️

View Quoted Comment Thank you, there is nothing wrong it, you don’t have to go out and buy suits come as you please just in white ... some of my people already talking abt getting something made now tht may be tad bit but hey do as you please.

View Quoted Comment Awe, thanks! I can be pretty direct and sarcastic...I let my man deal with being PC, lol! There were some comments on how guests buy gifts, give cash, etc... and volunteer their time. However, they're not paying for the wedding, which is substantially more expensive...on the contrary, we're paying for their entertainment, meal, and drinks! Also, most people want to be invited to weddings, it's not like they're being coerced to go. Unless they're paying for the wedding, they really have no say or room to complain...

I didn't read all of the comments, but I don't think it's feasible to mandate your guests to wear a certain color because it goes with the theme. I get your point, but I'd be annoyed if a bride told me what to wear. A dress code yes. A color, no. What happens if people come to the wedding with another color on?

View Quoted Comment My point exactly .... I notice anytime I disagree on here they start saying I’m arguing with everyone. No I’m responding like you are just bc I didn’t agreed with you and gave you my opinion tht doesn’t mean I’m arguing (for what) we all are strangers. Lol

View Quoted Comment Over a color though ... they won’t show up bc it will be on the invitations ... I won’t be at the door so I’ll let my planner deal with it .. When those invitations go out I said what I had to say ... I don’t want to be bothered on my day with questions when it was clear from the very beginning.. They have two options to attend or not to
attend, my wedding wasn’t mandatory for them to come. If it’s my older aunts and uncles then that’s different ... I wouldn’t be mad at the declines either. One lady on here said she will throw the invitation in the trash 😂🤣😂 why would I want anyone like that at my wedding anyway ... Like some of us has said people pay to go to events but you won’t do it for a friend, that means you weren’t close with tht person so save yourself some time and just go ahead and decline the RSVP .. In the words of Madea (Thank you )

Hahaha I thought this was hilarious

I haven't been to something with a color dress code since college, and even then it might be a t-shirt. I don't own any white dresses, so I would probably decli e, especially if I knew you were having your wedding planner at the door to not let people in. But if this is something your crowd does or participates in regularly, it's your wedding and they may be more open to it.
