Wedding etiquette

[curly~sue]

Hello!

I am attending a wedding that I was originally invited to the reception of and bought a black dress to wear to it. I have since been invited to attend the church and meal afterwards and I am not sure whether black is a colour that is OK to wear ? I can't really afford to find something else. Can anyone advise me please ?

Thanks in advance, c~s

yes, you could wear your black dress. Just liven up the accesories with a bit of colour...belt, handbag shoes all the same colour. white or light blue perhaps.

maybe a little jacket/cardigan over the top that is brightly coloured or some glittery accessories will take away any sombre tones.

Thank you both. That is great.

Also, whilst we're on the subject of etiquette, they have asked for money as a gift. It's not something I agree with, but would it be best on a cheque do you think ?

What about a gift voucher for your nearest department store?

My fiance suggested we do the asking for money thing when we get married but I told him I was uncomfortable with that as I would be offended if someone asked me to do that for their wedding.I would get them a gift voucher or just not buy a present at all.

It was the way it was worded as though they really don't need anything so would quite like the money instead. The voucher idea is a good one, thank you all again.
