Here in the podunk towns of the midwest a dress shirt and tie are more than appropriate for a guest who is merely spectating. I would prefer to wear a suit, but I hate out dressing the groom. I suspect Yeti maybe in the same sort of situation as far as region and dress code. No disrespect, just another point of view.

I agree and was thinking the same thing.

I have been to both "black-tie" and "bathing suit" wedding receptions as well as everything in between.

These days, the "Emily Post" standards are thrown out the window.

The formaility, or informatilty, of the function should be considered when choosing what level of "highland dress" to wear.

Yeti, what do you anticipate the other guests to be wearing?
