| I've never been to a Catholic wedding before..all it says in the invitation is: "Traditional Mass wedding without Communion from 7pm-8pm. Cocktail hour: 8pm-9pm. Reception: 9pm-12midnight: more cocktails, heavy hors d'oeuvres, toasts, cake, dancing, and counting down the New Year."What's the etiquette on attire?? Can I wear a shorter dress/skirt...like just above the knee or knee length...or does it have to be ankle length?? Anyone know??OH..also..are traditional Catholic weddings formal..like..prom formal or like church dress formal?? I have a black velour long sleeve dress that's ankle length...is that ok? |

| There's really no set standard for dress at a traditional Catholic wedding held in the evening unless specifically mentioned on the invitation. However, given your other details it could range between semi-formal to formal wear. A shorter dress would fit into the first category, but would be unsuitable for the second "formal wear" category. Go for something a little glamorous, maybe sparkling, between knee and ankle length, but not revealing (as in plunging neckline, or totally backless). |

| It depends on the Church. The church my parents go to is Catholic, but a very liberal one where jeans are acceptable and common during mass. Some others are more formal. I'd shoot for something comfortable for YOU! If that means nice pants and a blouse, fine. If that means a shorter dress, fine! I'm in ND, so I'd HAVE to wear something warm this time of year. But I really wouldn't worry too much about the Catholic aspect. Find something you like and consider appropriate (probably nothing showing loads of cleavage or midriff) and go with it.Have a good time! |

| where what you want that you think is appropriate for a wedding. you don't have to wear a long dress if you don't want to. |
