what to wear post

My cousin is having a wedding reception at the Old Mattress Factory in a few weeks.  They were married in Colorado.  The invites were pretty formal, but kids are invited. 

Would dressy, dark wash jeans be OK?

Re: what to wear post

  • Jeans to a wedding reception always seem like a no-no to me (kids were invited to my wedding/reception but it was not casual even though people wore jeans-pissed me off). But I have no fashion sense anyways so you can take or leave my advice alone.
  • no jeans - play it safe
  • Granted I don't know jack about the Old Matress Factory....but I would never say jeans are okay for a wedding reception, especially if there were formal invites sent out. I don't think that having kids invited or not makes any difference....

    I would say dress pants are okay, it's fall and could be chilly.

  • Ohhhh my favorite look is the paisley print fall dresses with tights and boots (ie not high-heeled crazy things but knee high riding boots) so comfy!!! Kohls online has some cute options of all three things!!

     

  • Jeans are never acceptable wedding reception attire-IMO. Unless the wedding reception invitation says jeans on it, don't wear them.

    Slacks and a nice top are ok since its a little less formal.

  • I just bought this dress and NY&CO and it's fabulous!  Online its $39.00 now, so I assume same in store?  I think it was $65 regular price and it's really flattering.  It comes in pink and a beige color too.

  • Agreed with everyone else - wear a nice dress, tights if it's chilly. No jeans, they will be offended.
  • Ditto the no jeans.

    What about a cute longer dress (like the maxi dresses) with a cardigan and a pair of flats (ballet type shoes)?

    And if you can order from the bar, you have to try the Cilantro Mojito.  Yummy!
