Suggested Attire on Invitations

Have you ever stressed out over what to wear to a party? Is this outfit too casual? Will I be overdressed? Should I go with the safe LBD (little black dress)?

If you are having a theme party, or simply would prefer cocktail dress rather than casual jeans, it is helpful to mention the preferred attire on the party invitation.

Start by inserting a line at the end of the invitation that states the type of attire you are requesting. For example, if you are having a formal affair suggest "black tie optional." "Cocktail attire" or "dress to impress" leaves lots of room for interpretation, but will sufficiently leave out jeans and ball gowns! Lastly if you are having a theme party, something like "fabulous 50's attire" points guests in the right direction.

Following this invitation etiquette will save your guests the pain of the guessing game and will ensure the vision for your party is complete!
