What to wear (men & women) to a wedding that the invite states "Formal"? How is that different than Black Tie?
Nancy in Etiquette and Advice, on July 5, 2016 at 6:29 PM

Just received an invite that says Formal Attire. Does that mean a gown/super dressy? Should I wear black? And what should my fiance wear? A dark suit? I know "Black Tie" typically means tux. So I'm...

Is there an ideal amount of time a Cocktail Hour should last? Too long vs Too Short?
Nancy in Planning, on March 9, 2016 at 9:13 PM

My ceremony should be done by 4:00. Ceremony and Reception are at the same venue (backyard of an estate home). So if our Cocktail hour begins immediately after the ceremony (say 4:00pm), is starting...
