If you're dressed too fancy or not fancy enough, you're going to stand out like a sore thumb. So knowing how to dress for a wedding reception is important. First, pay attention to the invitation. If it indicates anything like formal dress or black tie, then you know you need to dress to the nines for this event. If the reception is going to be outside, you can usually get away with more casual clothing than if the reception will be in a formal ballroom. Unless otherwise specified, a guest is free to select the color of her own attire.Guests should also consider the season when selecting attire colors. But avoid colors that are too loud and patterns that are too wild. If the couple is hosting a theme wedding, such as a renaissance event, they should encourage guests to participate but should not require expensive or unusual attire. While guests should remain attentive to the couples' religious institution's requests, it is usually acceptable for men and women to remove hats, jackets and gloves at the reception. Keep the weather in mind. You should choose clothing that's appropriate to the season in order to be as comfortable as possible. Ask the bride or groom what you should wear. This method is fool proof. It should also be used as a last resort, unless you're very close with either member of the happy couple.
