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?

    I don’t think I’d care but jeans are just sloppy, so I think it’s a bit disrespectful.

    White dress. My dress is ivory and I don't really care what other people are wearing to my wedding

    I would hate if either one happened, but I can deal with Jeans. Because someone could make it dressy. And I think the guest wouldn't notice it as much.

    Since I am getting married on the beach, I would be ok with Jeans. It will be pretty casual and I am not gonna sweat if the guys want to wear jeans. Although a pretty white sundress would be fine too. Either would be ok to me.

    I'm having a very casual dress code so if someone's in jeans it's just fine with me. I don't think I would care if anyone else wore white either.

    If someone wore jeans they would look out of place but a white dress may bother me slightly more as most would wonder why a person would do that ?

    Probably jeans, just because I'd assume the jeans were an honest mistake but the white dress was something with petty intentions toward me.

    Also, I'm having a daytime wedding with the reception in the parish Hall, so I'm expecting "nice church clothes" level of formality from the guests and decent jeans and a button down wouldn't be too far off the mark.

    Exactly! The jeans could be an honest mistake or misunderstanding about the formality. Wearing a white dress to a wedding is such an obvious no no that doing it seems almost spiteful.

    I couldn't care less about jeans even if we had a very formal wedding because that poor person would feel very out of place and I would be jealous that I cant wear jeans too lol.

    Unless it was a full on wedding dress I wouldn't care and even if it was I wouldn't care unless they looked better than me lmao

    As long as the white dress doesn't resemble a wedding dress in anyway, I'm cool. Smiley sexy

    Not sure which one. I think maybe jeans, cause it looks like there was no effort on their side.

    To be honest, I don't care. My FH and the groomsmen are all wearing jeans. If someone shows up in a white dress it doesn't bother me a bit.
