Re: Going to a Wedding
The women surely get very dressed up.
As others have said for men a shirt and pants or jeans are fine.

Re: Going to a Wedding
All the previous posters have pretty much covered it, justto add to the below
I have lost count of the number of weddings I've been to here, but I can honestly say that I have enjoyed my self at the bulk of them, particularly the countryside wedding parties. Have fun and enjoy yourself.

Re: Going to a Wedding

also, i dont see the issue people have with cheers(ing) all the time, i love it and find it really sociable, especially when you are doing drinking to finish... but i guess thats my british binge drinking routes shining through ay lol

Give them $20 and stay at home! That's what I would do!

I've been to dozens, mostly had a great time. Dress nice, avoiding black and white funeral-esque looking clothes. Countryside weddings are a blast.. at least mine was
If the bride and groom are your friends, give the envelope directly to them before you leave, and doesn't hurt to be generous for friends. $20 is what I give to people I barely know, much more for friends. The envelopes put in the box are taxed by the uncles doing the ledger.

Re: Going to a Wedding
Yep, that's pretty much what I've been told. But, I'd change the first part to read 'or'. "If the bride or groom are your friends, . . . " (Give it to the one you know).epidemiks wrote:If the bride and groom are your friends, give the envelope directly to them before you leave, and doesn't hurt to be generous for friends. $20 is what I give to people I barely know, much more for friends.

Re: Going to a Wedding
I wear a suit from time to time just because it's a very easy way of scrubbing up. However, the heat here is very oppressive at times, so it's best not to move around too much at all until you're at the aircon or at least fanned area. Then you can put your jacket on the back of your chair or not, they don't seem to do cloakrooms.epidemiks wrote:I've been to dozens, mostly had a great time.
