"How to Request Guests to Wear Dresses in Colors Other than Black for a Bright Wedding!"

Dress Code: To Decide or Not to Decide?

At celebratory events such as parties, there are dress codes where participants are asked to include certain colors in their outfits, like "please incorporate this color."

While this is a common custom at weddings abroad, in Japan,

- Many couples feel it's a bit too demanding to specify what guests should wear.

- They believe that guests can wear any color they like, and they do not have a strong preference.

As a result, the idea of having a dress code for weddings doesn't seem to be very widespread in Japan.

However, while black dresses are lovely...

But isn't there a bride who feels this way?

"I don’t want to specify a dress code, but I hope to create a bright and cute atmosphere for my wedding.

If all the guests wear black or gray dresses, the venue will look too dark on the day, and the photos will also have too much black. I would prefer it if guests could avoid wearing those colors..."

Is it okay to ask guests for this?

But can I really ask guests not to wear black dresses?

Some guests might actually prefer wearing dark-colored clothing, and

recently, dark-colored party dresses are becoming more popular...

That said, the most important thing is the bride's feelings.

Asking guests to refrain from wearing black dresses is not impolite or rude.

So brides who wish for a cute atmosphere at their wedding can confidently request that guests wear dresses in colors other than black.♡

It's recommended to make the request in the invitation

The best way to ask guests to wear dresses in colors other than black is to include it in the invitation.

You can insert a small note in the invitation set that says, "I would be happy if you could come in a colorful dress instead of a black dress on the day. ♡"

Including it in the invitation means guests will definitely see it,

and they'll have approximately two months to prepare their party dresses before the wedding.

Aim for a bright and cute wedding atmosphere!

While I have no intention of specifying exact colors in a dress code,

brides who would prefer guests to wear bright-colored party dresses instead of black should include a message card indicating this in the invitation.

I'm sure guests will understand the bride's feelings and will wear wonderful party dresses!♡
