I'm having trouble coming up with what to call the attire and how to explain it to my guests. People have started asking us and both of our moms what they should wear to the wedding. I don't want it to be black tie or black tie optional, but I still want people to dress up. The ceremony is on the sand, the reception is in a ballroom. It's a Saturday night with live music as the entertainment (Frank Sinatra cover band). It's a sit down dinner. I am wearing a long dress, we're still figuring out what FI will wear. Bridesmaids will be wearing short chocolate brown dresses, GMs we're still deciding. Any ideas/suggestions?

We're going with semi formal... that way people know to be classy but not go all out, and they can still be comfy. : )
I'm doing the same, long dress with maids in short dresses...

I think either putting semi formal or formal is a good idea. This way they can kinda decide for themselves that it is formal - but that it doesnt have to be a black tie.

We told people cocktail attire, which I guess is semi-formal. The venue had a no jeans or shorts policy so we posted that on our website and made sure everyone knew. I think this helped set the tone.
