I’m sure the attendants will be dressed according to the bride’s preferred color scheme. But to ask the same of the guests seems pretentious.
DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband and I have been invited to the wedding of a couple in their mid-20s. I’m irked at the dress code stated on the details card. I have no issue with the “semi-formal attire” request, but it goes on to say, “neutrals/earth tones encouraged.”
I realize using the word “encouraged” makes the request sound completely optional. But is it really? Could I really show up in a very tasteful, yet very pink, dress?
