Wedding Attire Etiquette for Men Guests

A wedding invitation that arrives on expensive paper with engraved calligraphic script and formal language, chances are the wedding will be a formal affair. You can wear a dark suit. Tuxedoes are not appropriate before 6 pm. If the wedding invitation is contains pictures or caricatures of the bride chasing the groom in a wedding dress it's safe to assume the dress code will be casual. However, if the wedding invitation just does not tell you anything about the event then wedding etiquette rules state that you choose the wedding attire based on the time of the day or the location. Winter daytime weddings call for warmer clothing, including wool suits, a navy blazer with charcoal pants, and perhaps a sweater and tie underneath a blazer. In the summer daytime, a light-colored suit, especially linen or seersucker. If the invitation says casual or semi-formal, you can wear a blazer and slacks with a nice tie and a dark suit is always appropriate in a evening wedding.
