Wedding Website Wording Examples: Dress Codes & RSVPs

Cocktail attire.

Cocktail attire — think midi or knee-length dresses, dressy jumpsuits, and a suit and tie. Comfortable shoes are a good idea: there will be dancing.

Black tie optional.

Black tie optional. Tuxedos and floor-length gowns are welcome, but a dark suit and a cocktail dress are equally perfect.

Beach formal.

Beach formal — flowy dresses, linen suits, and sandals are all wonderful. The ceremony is on grass near the sand, so please skip stilettos.

Filipiniana / cultural.

We'd love to see Filipiniana and Barong Tagalog if you have them — otherwise, formal attire in warm earth tones is perfect.

Warm, simple ask.

If you have several options:

We've blocked rooms at two nearby hotels so you can choose what fits your budget: [Hotel A — rate, code] and [Hotel B — rate, code]. Both are within 10 minutes of the venue.

To keep our day intimate, we're only able to accommodate the guests named on your invitation. Thank you for understanding.

Our venue has a limited capacity, so we're keeping the guest list to close family and friends. We hope you'll celebrate with us solo and meet our other favorite people on the dance floor.

We love your little ones, but we've chosen to keep our celebration an adults-only evening. We hope this gives you a chance to relax and enjoy the night with us.

While we adore your children, our venue isn't set up for kids. We hope you can arrange a sitter and join us for the evening.

Your presence at our wedding is the only gift we need. If you wish to honor us further, a small contribution toward our honeymoon fund is warmly appreciated.

We've been blessed with a home full of everything we need. If you'd like to give a gift, a monetary blessing in a card means the world to us.
