Are jeans ever acceptable?

I agree with GymRat

I think jeans are fine as long as they are not full of holes. In all honesty I don't care what our guests wear as long as they are comfortable. In 10 years what the guests wore to your wedding is not gonna matter. The only thing you will remember is what you and FH/FW wore.

No jeans. DH and I still make fun of those who wore jeans, and/or anything denim to our wedding (his cousin wore a long beach dress and a denim vest).

No, definitely too casual.

I'd say err on the "no jeans" side. Personally, I wouldn't care a bit if someone wore jeans to my wedding but since this bride might I would say no.

@ O&S - LOL!

No to jeans. Way too casual.

No jeans. A wedding is a special, once-in-a-lifetime event. It calls for more than Casual Friday wear. Nothing sticks out to me more than the men who wear wrinkled, plaid shirts, jeans, and a cowboy hat to a wedding ceremony. I don't care if they are in Texas or came from Texas -- show a little respect to the couple who invited you to witness their marriage and partake of their celebration. Wear khakis, at the very least.

Personally, as a bride, i wouldn't care if people showed up in jeans, as long as they are nice and not dirty with holes. I really don't see what the big deal is.

Here's what happened at mine.

My godfather gave me away because my parents are dead. After the ceremony, he changed into jeans for the reception. I said NOTHING because i wanted him there.

That said, I wouldn't wear jeans to a wedding. Although to my mom's second wedding, my sister and I wore matching khaki shorts and Hawaiian shirts (at her request - it was a super casual BBQ wedding).

ETA: I'm in Texas, in an area that is known for western chic. I wouldn't bat an eye at jeans, a blazer, starched shirt, and shiny boots.

Lindsay, my feeling is he's a grown man-- if he wants to wear jeans, you can't stop him. Stop polling the internet to back you up. Even if we all said, "No way!" I doubt that would change his mind. Dress as you think is appropriate and leave it at that.

Yaaa khakis are casual enough... No jeans

Unfortunately in my home town jeans are pretty common at weddings. I have never worn them. nor would I ever let FH out of the house with them on for a wedding. I'm pretty sure there will be a few people at ours with jeans, which doesn't thrill me. If it happens, it happens. Not the end of the world.

Absolutely not. Jeans are never ever ever acceptable, not matter how casual. In my opinion. Throw on a button down and khakis

Sure. To wear to a game or a night out. Never for a wedding.

No.

In fact, I'm not inviting certain relatives to my wedding because I know they would wear jeans.

I'm not even really being sarcastic. There are a lot (A LOT) of reasons they aren't getting an invite, but that's one of them. I can't trust they'll wear anything appropriate for a wedding.

Ugh, no. Also, a polo hardly seems appropriate either. I mean, unless it's a golf thing.

I'd be upset if someone showed up to my wedding in jeans, personally. I did attend a super informal barn wedding (literally it was a private western horse barn the person owned) and she specifically told us we could wear jeans. That's the only time I'd ever consider it.

I brought a friend to Chinese banquet on celebration of a wedding last year (didn't want to scare FH off by inviting him since we'd only been dating two months) and I was quite disappointed/concerned when my friend showed up in jeans. They were clean dark jeans (no holes, rips, etc.) and he wore a sport coat with then, but still...
