Incredibly stupid question regarding clothing/weddings.

Wedding will be casual judging by who's getting married, and I think wearing a suit will be the exception.

I would recommend judging by the 1. invitation 2. the time of day 3. indoor/outdoor... this information will give you the best clues about what to wear. Do you know anyone else attending? Maybe ask them what they're planning to wear (as womanish as it sounds [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

How can we possibly give you correct advice without pics of the bride, Klompy? Geez....

Wedding is in the afternoon, and although it didn't say it on the invite I'm sure that suits will not be the standard judging by attending other peoples weddings with the groom/ knowing who will be attending.

I was aware before I wrote the OP that a tie and short sleeves was a no go, I was more asking if it's OK to wear long sleeves in the the summer, or if I should just wear a short sleeve dress shirt without a tie.

Seeing as nobody made any comments about wearing long sleeves in the summer, I'm gonna go with that and tie.

Sorry, I don't have any pics of her. I've met her ~2-3 times in my life.

Then just wear a sportscoat and tie. If you're overdressed, you and always take off the coat and/or tie.

Good advice

[DrewDevil]

Unless the invitation specifies "casual" or the BRIDE has specifically told you that it's casual, the proper attire for a man at a wedding that starts before 8pm is a SUIT.

There is nothing wrong with being the best-dressed guest at a wedding.

That's too bad -- because it does matter:

RG, that pic is just to good to be true. The best part is that she's smoking and pregnant.

edit: I obviously should have looked at the pic closer and noticed that it's photoshoped.
