Hi everyone! So like the title says i forgot to add the dress code on my invitations, I already have them printed out and I have to send them no later than Friday! Any ideas, I was thinking about adding the dress code on the rsvp since they are cheaper to print out again but what do you think will it be weird to have that info on the rsvp... I also tried writing it myself with a nice pen but I tried it and I didn’t like the way they looked ugh 😑 help lol

Unless your wedding is black tie, I wouldn’t worry about this. Black tie is the only dress code I’ve ever seen listed on an invite.

Agreed - unless you're aiming for super formal you're probably ok, especially if you listed a wedding website. You can put a note on the website about attire, and spread the word to your family and bridal party in case they get questions. I've definitely seen cocktail attire listed on an invite, but I still don't think you need to reorder anything as long as there's somewhere your guests can find attire info

We did not list a dress code on our invites or our website. The style of the invite and the venue itself should give your guests a good idea. Those who doubt will ask. If it's a special dress code, I'd agree with PP and just add it directly to the website!

I've never seen dress code listed on invites, but I've never been to a black tie wedding. Most wedding websites have a spot for it, you could just put it there?

Unless your wedding is SUPER formal, your VENUE has a dress code (like, jackets required, etc.) or your family/guests have a large history of showing up greatly under dressed I honestly wouldn't even worry about it. I feel like most people should know how to dress for a wedding, but unless it's one of the three things listed above, I would think word of mouth is the best way to do things.

Agreed with PP unless you are doing black tie or your venue requires a dress code (as in they’ll turn you away if you don’t hit the dress code), no need to worry.

You can post it on your wedding website or spread it by word of mouth

If you have a wedding website, you can add it there. But I agree with the above, black tie would be the only dress code needing to be mentioned.

I didn’t put dress code on the invites, I just put semi-formal on my website, which most ppl will assume anyway

The style of invitation generated dictates the attire so guests should be able to figure it out on their own from how fancy it looks. Calligraphy, bling, wax seals and such usually indicate that it’s formal. No worries, I’m sure your guests will dress appropriately!

Don’t stress. I’ve never seen that on an invite. Typically time and location dictate that and if people aren’t sure they will ask you or someone in your family so spread the word to immediate family members.

We put the requested dress code on our website. Most people do not list the dress code on their invitations.

Most people will expect a cocktail/semi-formal affair. I would reiterate dress code on the website.

I don’t think you need to put a dress code on it, unless it is different than typical wedding attire. Everyone should know what is appropriate to wear to a wedding (:

I only put dress code on my information card and my wedding website, not the invite itself!
