Women Wedding Suits

June wedding, backyard reception, how to describe attire?

ok...I don't want to put "casual" and have people show up in jeans and t-shirts...but it definitely isn't formal. Sundresses/light pant suits for women, khakis and button down for men...how is this classified? thank you!

1. How about semi-formal attire is suggested.
2. Maybe something like "Sunday Attire" or "Church Attire"
3. Dressy casual, or business casual Edit- not semi-formal that actually means black tie definition in source link
4. Can you leave it off the invitation and just spread the word verbally? It is usually specified when semi-formal or formal is required by the bride & groom or by the wedding venue.
5. I know it doesn't sound too "weddingey" but what about 'business casual'. From the sounds of it, that's what you want. Good luck, and Congratulations!
6. Dear June wedding. My opinion might be to say something like "Please dress semi-casual. No jeans or t-shirts, please." And, I hope if people have questions, then they will ask you what you mean. Hopefully some of the people have attended weddings before and will dress nicely, but not formally. good luck. I hope this little advice helps you make a decision, but do see what the other girls suggest.
7. How about this: Dressy Casual calls for dressed-up versions of casual looks. For him, it could be trousers and a sportcoat, for her a dressy pants look. Jeans, shorts, T-shirts and other casual looks are not appropriate for Dressy Casual. Copy and pasted from: http://fashion.about.com/cs/glossary/a/partydefinition.htm
8. Hi. I agree with the other poster who said: dressy casual attire or business casual attire Most definitely don't put "casual." As you say, some people will show up in jeans and t-shirts. Be warned, however, that they may anyway just because of the venue. Just go with it and don't let it upset your day.
