The dressing code for your party is a crucial factor that you must consider while preparing for the party. After deciding on the dress code for the day, you should inform your friends either personally or in the invitation letter, especially if the party's theme needs a uniform dress code. Your guests will not wish to let you down. They'd like to arrive in the party dressed properly. Imagine if you didn't inform one of the guests about the dress code for the day. He/she will be embarrassed.
First, let us look at the kinds of dress codes:
1. Casual- It is the most popular dress code in many parties. Such parties include impromptu events and backyard barbeques. Regardless of if there is liberty to wear what you want, it's nice if you don't dress in a shaggy manner.
2. Dressy Casual-It is just like casual but it is sharper. So leave off the t-shirts, shorts and jeans.
3. Evening/Cocktail-This code is whereby girls wear short classy dresses or a little black dress while men wear a suit either with a tie or without a tie.
4. Formal/Black Tie-Ladies wear a cocktail dress or a suitable dressy long dress while men wear a tuxedo.
5. White Tie- This is a bit formal than Black Tie. For men this means a tuxedo with a vest, shirt and a white tie while ladies wear long gowns.
6. Semi-Formal/After Five- It isn't as formal as Black Tie or White Tie. It is often seen on invites for weddings and it's the same as cocktail wear. This dressing code is recommended.
7. Black Tie Optional- If it isn't on the invite, men can wear a tuxedo while ladies can wear a long dress. However, if it is on the invitation, women can dress less formally while men can wear a tie and a dark suit. The guest is free to choose.
8. Festive Attire- This code is common in themed parties. Semi-formal or cocktail dress code is recommended for this event. For instance, men can wear a festive shirt or tie while ladies wear a bright red cocktail dress accompanied with sparkly earrings if it is a Christmas party.
9. Themed parties- Inform the guests about the theme of the party so they will know the dress code of the party. The theme might be a Pool Party theme, a FDancy Dress theme, Celebration Event theme or a Colour theme.
Inform the guests about the dressing code if you don't want any disappointments when it comes to the dress code. Nevertheless, a dress code isn't necessary if you would like your guests to arrive in whatever clothing that they feel at ease in. But if you want the dress code to be uniform, you can make it clear on the invitation that you would like all guests to be dressed in a certain dress code.
