| Did You Know
Your Guests Can Wear Tuxedos, Too? |
| Back in the old days, when a host printed 'Black
Tie Invited' on the invitations to an event, they expected their guests
would show up in tuxedos. These days, that's no longer the prevailing
etiquette. But why shouldn't it be? |
 |
Despite their grousing, most men
don't mind getting the tuxedo out of the guest room closet and wearing
it for a really classy party.
|
 |
| Asking your guests to join
you in wearing formal attire will help you make your cremony and reception
a truly festive event. |
| By simply printing 'Black Tie
Invited' on your reception cards, you'll be requesting that the men attending
your wedding wear tuxedos and that the women wear something equally fabulous
- anything from a floor length gown to a dressy cocktail dress would be
appropriate. Most of all, you'll make your guests feel like they are an
important part of the celebration! |
 |
| Not only will the day itself be
more exciting, but the photos of all your family and friends dressed their
best will make beautiful momentos to treasure forever. |
| Some of your guests may already
own their tuxedos. Those that don't can be directed to your nearest Jim's
Retailer for special attention. |
| A 'Black Tie Invited' wedding isn't
for everybody, however. If many of your guests don't own tuxedos, or will
find it a financial burden to rent one, don't make them uncomfortable
by asking them to wear a tuxedo to your affair. Instead, you may suggest
'Black Tie Optional' on your invitations or nothing at all. |
