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 think I would choose jeans. Because in my opinion, we know what's going on if someone other than the bride decides to wear white. I'm talking about someone wearing a full on white/ivory gown. That's rude, and they will embarrass themselves, unless the bride + groom don't care. I just think it would be weird. There are some nice jeans. Even dark coloured jeans that don't look too bad. With a nice shirt, it could work.

    Jeans because I have overflow seating to make a smooth transition for this guest not following dress code. LOL no big deal

    White dress. My dress is going to be this pretty champagne color so I'm sure I'd still draw more attention then she would haha

    I want my guests to be comfortable. We have 24 invited and I know at least 23 will show up. If the other one comes, he’s likely to wear some basketball shorts and a t shirt...I think it’s disrespectful to take the light off the bride and groom by wearing white but if you can live with your attempt to steal attention, so can I

    Our reception is on a farm, so while I'd like people to wear standard wedding attire, I couldn't really get mad at anyone who showed up wearing jeans.

    Jeans please!! Having someone show up in a white dress would definitely not make me happy and I want to be a happy bride!

    JEANS! It is already our plan to have the grooms men in jeans so I really hope people feel comfortable enough to wear jeans

    I don't mind the white dress. I hate white dresses anyway so..... Come on in, lady! My gown will NOT be white. None of them will be.

    But jeans!!?!

    FIRST of all... My events will be EXTREMELY formal so.... I would simply have my guards throw you out 💅💅💅

    Jeans. I think some black jeans could be pulled off. A bride wants to be the only one in white on her wedding day 😊

    It depends on who it was and what type of outfit for the white. For jeans, le sigh, I would hope not, but if means couldn't afford something else, then fine, I have other things to worry about. I probably would forget the Jean wearers before the white wearers.

    I am not too picky about what people wear to the wedding if I had to choose I guess the white dress but my fiance would hate both.

    It depends what type of dress it is. I wouldn’t like it being white, but I’d rather have that than jeans. I’ll be so upset if someone wears jeans to my wedding lol
