4 Things Men Should Never Do At Weddings

Weddings are one of the most special days in a couple’s lives. You should feel honored that the hosts want you to be part of their big day. With that honor comes with an important obligation: don’t mess anything up. Here are 4 things that you should never be wearing at weddings.

1. Anything Below the Stated Dress Code
the first two items on our list are closely related because they are in line with dress coded. Dress codes help set the mood and atmosphere for a wedding and ensure everyone knows how they should attire themselves. When you do not follow the dress code one looks un-unified from the rest of the wedding guests and disrespects the hosts. As soon as the dress code is sent out one should start planning an appropriate outfit.

2. Anything Exceeding the Stated Dress Code
While it’s less common today, some people are tempted to overdress for a wedding. Though weddings are one of the few times it’s bad to be overdressed.
Overdressing can make you appear snobby or aloof at a wedding, it implies that you think the hosts made a wrong dress code decision and it can also take the attention away from the couple.

3. Anything That Might Cause Confusion About Your Role
You don’t want to give the impression that you’re a member of the wedding party or even the groom himself unless you are.
Unless you are part of the wedding party you should avoid wearing similar clothing to them so you don’t give the wrong impression.

4. Anything Excessively Flashy
In addition to items commonly worn by the wedding party, you should avoid anything that will bring undue attention when yourself on their wedding day. All attention should be on the people’s wedding not you. Be mindful of accessories as well.
