If a wedding invitation says "formal or semi-formal attire"...

Tweet

Would you attend wearing the prescribed dress code? I've been to several weddings and I've always worn something formal or semi-formal. Whatever the invitation suggests the guest to wear. For some reason though, I see a lot of people who do not wear what is asked. Personally, if I were the one getting married, I would not like to see my guests wearing something so dressed down (jeans, sneakers, shirts etc.). It's my special day and I want everyone to feel the same. I keep wondering why people are not particular with this. Is it because they are just not aware, or they just know that other guests will not comply, so at the back of their minds they're thinking "no one is going to wear formal anyway, so why should I?" What do you guys think about this? Share your stories.=)
