Welcome Party Attire wording

Jessica, on February 24, 2020 at 1:41 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 4

Hello Brides!


Our wedding is during the summer in a lake town so everyone usually walks around wearing beach clothes. We are hosting a welcome party on Friday night and I want to make sure I have a suggested attire on the information card (some family members don't know what certain events call for attire wise...so I want to help them out!) I'm stuck with how to word the attire? I don't want anyone coming in beach wear, jeans, or shorts... I would like everyone in a little dressy of attire but ties are not required...I'll be in long white dress and the groom will be in cream pants boat shoes and a blue sports coat.

I'm thinking the following wording isn't right... is there another word for dress pants and button up?:

Semi-Formal = suits and ties (seems too formal)

Business Casual = jeans are allowed (doesn't seem dressy enough?)


Any thoughts or suggestions are helpful!

    Unless your venue has a stated dress code (jackets for men, etc) then you shoudln't be bothering with this. Adults can dress for an event however they wish (is it seriously going ruin your evening if someone shows up in jeans?). They will take their cues from the formality of the invitation and venue.

    All of this. Your invitation and venue should convey the formality of the event. Adults will dress accordingly.
