Backyard wedding guest attire help!

Kim, on July 5, 2019 at 1:39 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 9

So FH and I are supposed to go to a wedding late afternoon today, but we have no idea what to wear! This would be a casual backyard wedding (invitation was sent on FB messenger). Ceremony would be at a court house, but we can't attend as both of us would still be at work. Reception will follow at the couple's house, starting at 5 pm. Also, it is hot and humid in the area right now. I would probably be okay with a simple dress, but what about FH? I thought about having him wear jeans, a button up shirt and a blazer, but jeans may not be proper. But if he wears a suit, it would be too hot and he worries that he will be overdressed. What to do? Ideas please!

    Jeans might be ok but does he have khaki pants with a collared shirt-sleeve cotton shirt?

    Yes he has those! That's an option! It's just hard to think of an outfit because attire was not specified. Thank you!

    I think khakis and a polo would be the most comfortable and appropriate.

    Khakis and a light colored button down will probably work!

    I also agree with khakis. I would even think that flat front shorts would be appropriate.
