Going to a wedding doo tonight, evening reception only. Proper shirt with or without tie, trousers and shoes,,,, or casual shirt jeans and shoes

Young marriage if it matters, 28 or so bride and groom, most people attending will be in around 25-35
 
Yeh, against the jeans idea, just asked a mate what he was wearing and he said jeans its only a evening doo... Hmm. Not really my view, i was thinking jeans, trousers and shoes polished up. And depending on how the shirt looks with top button not done, if ok then no tie, if bad then tie going on. Casual jacket, not full suit
 
had this convo a few times, and peeps always say 'no tie'

i disagree personaly, the reason for this, is that it is a formal occasion, even though the wedding is over, it is still formal.

its not as if the groom has flung his tie off for the evening ( i know it does happen sometimes) and his best man has let the collar go.

get a nice casual suit on and a nice tie, with a nice cuff and watch to set it off, finish with a good aftershave,

and swagger in there all fresh, like Daniel Craig doin Bond lol

then bag yourslef a bridsmade ;)

You say it like that but would a bit of denim really make them go the DJ booth, stop the music and scream down the mic

YOU HAVE JUST RUINED A PERFECTLY GOOD WEDDING BECAUSE OF YOUR ATTIRE, NOW GET OUT!!

Although I wouldn't wear denim for the fear of looking like a hobo infront of everyone.
 
Wear a tie.

The worst that can happen is that you need to remove it and wear it as a bandanna while you dance like a maniac with the brides Gran.

Absolutely NO jeans!!

Wear a suit. You can take tie off if it is appropriate and the bride and groom will feel like you treated their special day with the respect it deserves.

You can't overdress. You can underdress.
 
As a wedding photographer, there's nothing worse than getting a lovely first dance photo only to see some complete ****ing muppet in the background in jeans.

I shot one 2 weeks ago, night do only as they were married in Florida and one family turned up in casual clothes. luckily the 2 girls were stunning anyway and dressed smart casual, but the dad (jeans + denim short) and the 3 lads (jeans + tshirts) just looked a mess :(

Very minimum is trousers, shirt and shoes.

Mind you, my wedding night I was wearing my suit and my white kswiss trainers as they were comfortable, but that was my wedding :D
