I came across this wedding attire mandate. I see more and more of these that are insistent on what guests can and can't wear. I can understand dictating formal, black tie, semi-formal, business casual, etc. I have a problem with the type of shit below with a list of what is and isn't allowed. That sounds like an absolute nightmare. The wedding is in Cancun. So if the female guest shows up in dressy sandals (acceptable) but the male guest shows up in the required long-sleeved shirt, tie, and long pants but has the prohibited open toed shoes, will he be barred from the ceremony?
This sounds like an absolute nightmare. Fvck me. It's a beach wedding! It's in Mexico! It should be casual enough where guys aren't being told that they have to wear long sleeves, a tie, pants, and closed toed shoes.
Beach Formal for the Ceremony. Beach Semi-Casual for the Reception
Women:
For the Ceremony, a dress, suit, formal romper, or jumpsuit all work for semi-formal. Feel free to include prints, avoiding anything too loud. Dressy sandals, chunky heels, and wedges are acceptable footwear options. Considering the ceremony will be on the beach, there will be a shoe station available. After the ceremony, Women should opt for a simple sundress, breezy maxi dress, or high-quality romper. While dressy sandals are acceptable, avoid standard, beachwear flip flops.
Men:
For the ceremony, men should wear a breathable, long-sleeved shirt (such as an oxford) and tie with long pants. While a jacket isn’t required, a breathable sport coat or unique blazer is a fun addition. Feel free to include prints, avoiding anything too loud. Shoes can be a little more casual, but still need to be closed-toe, such as a loafer or deck shoe. Shorts, Flannels, and sandals are not permitted. After the ceremony, nice, short-sleeved shirts such as polos are permitted as well as nice shorts (think Chinos) with a belt. Avoid denim, cargo, and swim shorts. Cotton t-shirts are not permitted.
Guests should avoid wearing dark colors.
