SEMI-FORMAL ATTIRED REQUIRED

Semi-formal attire is an outfit that is dressier than what you would wear to an office but not as dressy as a formal evening gown or tuxedo. You want to look your best, but you don't want to upstage the bride, so avoid white or off-white. 

Some options include:

• Cocktail dress: A cocktail dress is generally your best bet for most semi-formal weddings. Any length of dress is acceptable, though a longer hem will definitely be easy to dance in. A longer dress that is shin or ankle length with a sleek leg slit can be a stylish compromise.
• Dressy pantsuit: You may also wear a dressy pantsuit with nice shoes, such as loafers or heels, and attractive jewelry.
• Classic or creative suit: Semiformal attire allows you to have a little fun with a suit. You can choose a classic suit in blue or black, or show off your style a little bit with a unique yet sophisticated blazer paired with pants. Ties are optional for semiformal attire, so try a patterned pocket square or vest for a fun pop of style.

Chelise & Ed are so excited that many people are looking forward to celebrating them. The couple also looks forward to an intimate, private setting and has allowed for a specific guest count. This celebration is by invitation only and your plus one has been named on your personal invitation. The couples asks that you please do not bring any unauthorized guest to the wedding ceremony or the reception.

Chelise & Ed respectfully request that no children attend the wedding or reception other than those participating in the wedding ceremony. Please note that this will be an adults only experience.

Please do not feel obliged to purchase a gift. All the couple expects is your presence. If you would like to give something, a contribution towards their honeymoon would be greatly appreciated.
