Would you rather... have a guest show up wearing jeans or a white dress?

Let's face it, there's always someone who's going to be dressed inappropriately at a wedding! So which would you rather witness? Would you rather... have a guest show up wearing jeans or a white dress? Jeans are my formalwear! I didn't even realize this dress was white! Photo by The Grovers in...

Next Question: Would you rather... do your own makeup, or do your own hair?

    Definitely jeans. I’d prefer to stand out!

    I guess I wouldn't be too bothered by either. I may think it a little strange, but it wouldn't ruin by good time at all.

    Jeans. My wedding is in a barn so jeans wouldn’t be that far fetched anyway.

    White. I would rather a white dress.
    Thst being said, I know at least one member of my step dad's family will come in jean overalls if he does come even though it's a formal venue.

    White dress. We are having a really formal affair and if someone came in jeans, I'd be irritated that they didn't put in the effort to look nice for the occasion. Especially when my invite says "Black Tie Optional."

    Yup, she wore her wedding dress.

    She isn't big into dresses and spent all year travelling up until our wedding. She asked if she could have her dress shipped to our place to have it steamed and ready for the wedding. When I opened the garment bag I had a "Oh hell no" moment but just realized we were lucky to even have them at the wedding regardless of attire. She got some major side eye but it didn't bother me...I looked better Smiley xd

    I'd rather see someone in jeans. Everyone knows wearing white to a wedding is a big no no! At least in my circle it is

    I hate jeans at formal occasions. I'd say a white dress. EVeryone would know she wasn't the bride, so who cares.

    Honestly I wouldn’t mind unless the white dress was very obviously bridal. But even then, everyone knows I’m the bride and that person would look silly! Our wedding is very casual so a pair of nice jeans wouldn’t bother me one bit.

    I don't really care about either, but if I have to answer either/or, I would rather have jeans. I might side-eye shorts, but the dress code was pretty lax at our wedding.

    Just a white dress wouldn’t bother me, now a wedding dress would be another story

    I would rather a white dress-at least they've put effort into looking decent. Plus, my dress was gold, so 🤷🏻‍♀️
    I was very disappointed my brothers, and a quite a few of my guests showed up in jeans as though it was a kickback.
