Guests Beach Wedding Attire

You're over thinking it. Most adults know how to dress for a wedding. If someone asks, you can tell them it's on the beach and maybe describe what the groom is wearing. They should be able to figure out the formality from there. ETA: fixed the form to you're. Haven't finished my coffee yet

I think you've described what the attire should be fairly well, just condense your answer for those who ask! I respond with "it's dressy casual! There's a hard floor so you won't be walking on sand, and the guys aren't wearing jackets!" That will give people who ask a good idea and a point of reference on formality.

When people ask I'd go with dressy casual over business casual. When I think dressy casual, I think a formal sundress and wedges. When I think business casual, I think of my pencil skirts and work blouses. You could also just say "a cute dress and heels" if a girl asked and "oh trousers of any type and a button-up or something along those lines" if a guy asked.

Don't worry about it. I have had family ask the same thing about our DW. I've just been telling them that it will be an an outdoor ceremony on the beach with a reception on an outdoor patio so to keep the weather in mind and wear what they are comfortable with. Most people should know how to dress themselves appropriately.

I think describing the groom's outfit will give them the best idea of what to wear. I would probably tell them to wear slacks and boat shoes for men. Short dresses for women with sandals.

The term would be "smart casual," which is slacks and a button-front, sometimes a jacket, for the men and a nice skirt or dress (not necessarily a formal "cocktail" dress) for the women. You can also say beach semi-formal.

Our ceremony and reception are literally in the sand. In casual conversation with all my guests I have been slipping that it will be a simple beach wedding and what my FH plans to wear. Also that I can't wait to get married barefoot toes in the sand

I am having a DW in key West too! Are you doing For Zackary? We are doing Sheraton.

Who are you working with? Yay, finally a DW buddy!

I will tell guests the dressy casual, Since we are having a barefoot ceremony I am having a shoe parking area for those who want to join us.
