How do I suggest masquerade wedding attire for guests?
Since my betrothed and I will be getting married on Halloween, I want to have a bit of fun, without going overboard. Our reception is going to be held at a haunted hotel beside the beach, and we intend to invite approximately 100 people. The clothes I am most drawn to for us are period ensembles from the middle ages. It occurred to me that having a masquerade could be just the right concept for us.
I want to include the guests in the fun, and still make the attire optional. I intend to offer satin black and white domino masks as favors so that if someone forgets his or her mask, or changes his or her mind about participating they have a back up. I also want to allow people to bring their own masquerade masks since I can’t afford to give them all fantastic elaborate creations. However, I do not want to have a costume party… no zombies or serial killers etc. I am going for elegance and fun.
How can I word the invitation to get the results I am looking for? Or is it all dumb?
Say somewhere on the reception card “Elegant costumes admired but not required”. In your save the date packet, send out a list of costume ideas. Many people tend to draw a blank when it comes to ideas so listing several will help them out as well as letting them know what you’re looking for. You can be specific as to what you don’t want.
