INVITATIONS WITHOUT DRESS CODES

So what do you do if you get a no-dress coded invitation?

You always have to give the hosts the best answer. Don't be bothered to shot the host with whom you are most acquainted with a short note saying "how dressed do you want people at the event, particularly in this new world of emails and text messages!"If you don't feel comfortable to do so, ask the participants among others. And if you really have nobody you can ask, think about your time and setting. Outside conditions are less common than indoors, and so on. Always be overdressed on the foot. As we've said before, it's very easy to take off a necktie or shed a jacket and become less formal, but if you only showed up with a shirt and slacks there's no way for you to become dressier.Finally, in rare cases you may run into an invitation where the listed dress code doesn't seem accurate.

For example, I was once invited to a wedding that asked for a "formal" dress code. I knew from talking to the groom that he only wore a business suit. Since the hosts will always wear the most formal definition of the dress code of the event, I understood that they only wanted good-looking suits, not true formal wear. This is a little awkward. In such situations, rather than ignoring the written instructions and drawing attention to their mistake, you should dress to suit your guests. Don't even remind them–they can never do anything about it once invites are sent!



And there you have it.
