For men: A suit with a nice tie\nFor women: a cocktail dress(probably black...hits around the knee area) that is not too revealing and is classy.

Well, it's your wedding so I think you should be able to wear whatever you feel comfortable with regardless of what everyone thinks. It's your day so enjoy it! My best wishes out to you and your family! Congratulations!

Wear anything that looks nice and you feel good in.  There is no set dress code.  It is your wedding so you need to feel good about it.

Black tuxedos are ALWAYS appropriate in a wedding.\nYou can tie them to the bridesmaides dresses by using navy accessories.

one dress the whole wedding / reception .... find out what color his tie will be and go with a dress in that color or you can wear any winter color ... try and stay away from black and definitely stay away from white .... but look nice and knock his socks off ...taking you to the wedding is a huge deal for him and your relationship!!

could mean suit instead of black tie affair, or it could be that you could wear a nice pair of dress pants with a button down shirt and a tie.  i would probably stay away from jeans.

Wine is a great color for an evening affair.  Most MOB styles come with a shrug, jacket, or shawl.  Don't get caught up in all of the so-called rules.  If you are a fab mom, then be one.  If you prefer a more conservative style-wear it.  If the bride is fine with it, then don't worry about it.  If she is happy then who cares.  If the bride wants clowns on tricycles then so be it.  If anyone is there to pass judgement or give a Joan Rivers type of review, then they are there for all the wrong reasons.  They are there to well wish, eat free food, and have a great time.

Wear his favorite color, or something that he has complimented you on when you wore it. That way he will be more likely to remember the event with vivid detail. I know that sounds horrible to say that he won't remember... but trust me. Guys don't relish the details like we do...lol

hmmmm, try and convince him to get a pair of white class A's. Someone I knew actually did that for his wedding. Otherwise I would just say stay with white, I mean what are you gonna do? get a green wedding dress?

You can wear white any time of year unless someone is holding a gun to your head.\n\nHowever, etiquette does say that it is unfashionable to wear white during the winter (between Labor Day and Easter). It's just cultural -perhaps originating because white attire does not absorb as much light (and therefore) heat needed during cold times.

It is good that you are asking.  If you are old enough to ask about different styles of dress then you are smart enough to learn what is appropriate to wear to any occasion.  First, the edges on what "category" of clothing to wear to different occasions are somewhat more blurred than when I was young enough to go to father/daughter banquets, but everyone wants to look nice and not look lilke they are wearing the wrong thing.\n\nSemi-formal usually refers to men wearing a nice suit or possibly even a tuxedo (which, after all is just a nice suit too!)  The tuxedo is also referred to as "black-tie".  So, when you are older and see an invitation that refers to "black-tie" attire you will know that the men there will be dressed in nice suits or tuxes (usually with a black-tie".  When it says "white tie" it is a more formal affair and the men will be dressed in more dressy tuxes and these usually come with "white, satiny ties and tail coats"  Now, that takes care of the men?  You, being on the woman's side of things already have realized that there are not clear cut rules for us.  Semi-formal can range from a simple dress to a cocktail dress (which you are probably too young to wear).  I would say what would be appropriate would be something like a dressy church dress, or a nice party dress - although most of the young people I know don't wear dresses to parties anymore, but you probably know what I mean.  Something that you would wear to a holiday party or that is a more formal material (not something you would wear to a ball game for instance).  You might want to ask your friend what she is wearing or maybe she would come over and help you pick out something from your closet.  I started to suggest that you ask your mom or another adult female but maybe there is no one available for you to ask right now so that is why you are asking all of us.  Check with your friend.  She would not steer you wrong since she obviously wants you to come along or she would not have invited you.  Just wear something pretty and remember to use nice manners, be friendly with new people you meet, and most of all - HAVE A GOOD TIME, Cinderella!

Beach in an evening gown.  Going to a wedding in a t-shirt would be on the disrespectful side, unless that was what the bride and groom wanted.  Where as showing up at the beach in an evening gown might be kinda fun.  Sure there would be the looks, but I doubt anyone would be offended.

Well chances are good that if he is seeing your underwear, then he is going to bang you. So I don't think it really matters what color they are. But if the thong straps are going to show and you're wearing jeans, go with black.
