Black-tie or Casual - What Is the Proper Attire?
|
 |
|
Guests'
attire contribute to the atmosphere of a celebration. It is, thus, important to verify the style of
affair you are attending; You don't want to show up for a
black-tie affair wearing khaki pants and a polo shirt, or to a
"casual dress affair" decked in tails and white
gloves.

Grooms, Bar Mitzvah Boys, Fathers of the Bride and Groom, etc.

You
may consult with your vendor as to the most appropriate choice
for the style of event you will be attending:
Grooms,
Groomsmen, Fathers, Brothers, and Bar Mitzvah Boys:
-
For
a formal evening affair, it is time for a tuxedo. You
may either purchase one (a good choice if you think you may
be using your tux in the future), or rent one for the
evening.
-
For
a Semi-formal affair, you may choose a tux but a black, grey,
or navy suit will do. Don't forget your dress tie.
-
For
casual events, casual will do. But keep away from
shorts, cut-offs, jeans, and sneakers.

Mothers of Brides, Bridesmaids, Bat Mitzvah Girls...

Mother
of the Bride, Bridesmaids, Sisters, and Bat Mitvah Girls:
unlike the bride, whose choice may be a difficult one,
but the perimeters are known, you have a much tougher job.
-
Bridesmaids
often don't have the option of choosing their own dress, and
as part of the wedding party, wear a dress of the bride's
choice. If, however, you have a close loving
relationship with the bride, you may be able to influence
her choice. A choice that may be more flattering in
style and color.
-- A note to the bride: Choose dresses your
bridesmaids will be proud to wear. Remember: If they
look good, you will too! --.
-
Mothers
of brides and other close family members should verify the
color themes, and if important to the bride, comply with the
request. If the colors are not predetermined, choose colors
that enhance your looks. Mothers - stay away from
white.
-
For
casual events, casual will do. But keep away from
shorts, cut-offs, jeans, and sneakers.
-
The
Bat Mitzvah girl dress is dependent on the style of the
affair. Dresses can be knee-, tea-, or floor-length,
but keep in mind that comfort and practicality are key.
-
Talk
to friends and acquaintances... ask for
recommendations.
