When my brother got married last summer, his wedding invitation stated that attire should be "festive, not formal." Okay, great -- but what the heck did that mean?Funny, he was trying to tell people not to stress over what to wear, but this ambiguous dress code seemed to cause more stress than if he'd told all guests they'd be required to show up in a lobster suit (now there's an idea for a theme wedding ...).
Face it -- your guests need clear guidance on the issue of dress. Be as clear as you can in your invitations or inserts, and make sure your bridal party knows what to tell guests when they inevitably come asking what exactly you mean by "black tie optional."
