I am invited to my brother-in-law’s wedding. The ceremony is taking place at noon at a Catholic church. The reception does not start until several hours later, at 6 p.m. (It’s a traditional Chinese banquet.)
I have one nice dress I have shopped months for to wear to the wedding. However, with the reception so many hours afterward, should I change clothes? Wear one dress to ceremony and another to reception? The reception isn’t black tie or anything, but it certainly isn’t jeans casual, either.
I would like to wear one dress to both, but I didn’t know if it was bad etiquette. I was thinking that if we had downtime I could take the dress off and put it on again before the reception.
Any ideas? I’m not involved in the ceremony at all, but my husband is one of his brother’s groomsmen.

I would wear a nice dress to the wedding and get a little more casual dress for the reception, but if you don’t want to change then I don’t find it necessary
Wear the same dress. If you change it, people will assume you’ve done something silly and messed it up real bad and had no option but to change.
Yeah just wear the same dress will be fine…all my relatives wedding are all like that….ceremony at 8 reception on 12 or ceremony at 4 reception on 7….Besides its easier for you..so you wont have to prepare 2 dresses…or change into something else and change back…..besides maybe u’ll be to busy helping out things… ^^
